The importance of using life cycle assessment in policy support to determine the sustainability of fishing fleets: a case study for the small-scale xeito fishery in Galicia, Spain
The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2018Co-Authors: Pedro Villanueva-rey, Ian Vázquez-rowe, Andrea Arias, Maria Teresa Moreira, Gumersindo FeijooAbstract:Purpose Drift net fishing activities have undergone a thorough revision at a European Union level, since authorities argue that several loopholes still exist in the legislation that allow small-scale fisheries to use these gears. High incidental catches, or the lack of selectivity, are some of the primary scientific criteria behind this discussion. This new framework is of particular interest in the region of Galicia (NW Spain) due to the social importance of small-scale fishing vessels using Drift Nets. In fact, over 400 vessels have a licence to capture European pilchard ( Sardina pilchardus ) with a fishing gear called xeito , which is a small-scale Drift net. Methods The main goal of this article is to provide stakeholders in the fishing sector with environmentally relevant results regarding the life cycle impacts linked to fishing practices performed by small-scale vessels using the xeito gear to target European pilchard. We hypothesize that environmental impacts computed with LCA will provide additional insights to the sustainability of the pilchard small-scale fishery in NW Spain, adding a series of criteria that may be useful for policy-makers to determine the consequences of forbidding this type of Drift netting in the future. Results and discussion Results show that environmental impacts across impact categories and operational activities do not differ much from that of other similar fishing fleets examined in recent years, with fuel for propulsion being the main environmental burden in most impact categories. When conducting a statistical analysis, no significant difference in energy use was identified between this small-scale fleet and purse seiners targeting pilchard in Galicia. Moreover, the results obtained demonstrate, in line with previous studies, that European pilchard is still an energy-efficient source of animal protein option as compared to demersal fish alternatives, crustaceans, or livestock. Conclusions The results do not indicate that European pilchard landed with small-scale Drift Nets generates higher environmental life cycle impacts than pilchard landed by purse seiners in NW Spain. However, longer time frames for the analysis should be performed to attain results with lower uncertainty.

The incidence of reared Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) of fish farm origin at West Greenland
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 1997Co-Authors: Lars P. Hansen, D. G. Reddin, R. A. LundAbstract:The proportion of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon in the commercial fishery at West Greenland was estimated using samples of fish caught with Drift-Nets in the commercial fishery in 1991 and 1992. Identification of reared fish was carried out using scale analysis. Despite the fact that large numbers of salmon escape from fish farms around the north Atlantic, the proportion of farmed fish in this fishery was low, 1.1 % in 1991 and 1.4 % in 1992, and much lower than in the area of the Faroes fishery in the east Atlantic. The low number of fish farm escapees at Greenland is surprising since large numbers of farmed salmon are produced in countries from which most of the wild slamon that occur at West Greenland originate.

1997Co-Authors: Lars P. Hansen, D. G. Reddin, R. A. LundAbstract:The proportion of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon in the commercial fishery at West Greenland was estimated using samples offish caught with Drift-Nets in the commercial fishery in 1991 and 1992. Identification of reared fish was carried out using scale analysis.
