people science environment partners The Fisheries Resources Information System and Tools (FiRST): An overview of the database system for storing and analyzing trawl survey data Presentation Outline: Background The Project Len R. Garces & Geronimo T. Silvestre The Database Key Findings Next Steps people science environment partners Background The WorldFish Center Our commitment WorldFish is committed to food security and poverty eradication in developing countries. people science environment partners Background The WorldFish Center We specialize in living aquatic resources, aiming to: Improve productivity Protect the environment Save the biodiversity Improve the policies; and Strengthen national programs people science environment partners Background The WorldFish Center 8 core technical competencies: Socio-economic analysis of the fisheries sector Institutional analysis for governance of aquatic resources Global databases for management of aquatic resources Methods for developing improved fish strains Development and evaluation of small holder focused aquaculture technologies Culture and restocking of coral reef invertebrates Stock assessment of coastal fisheries Watershed approach to aquatic resources management people science environment partners Background - FishBase people science environment partners Background - ReefBase people science environment partners Background 1996 Workshop Recognized substantial amount of underutilized trawl survey data. Consensus on the usefulness of compiling and analyzing past trawl surveys to establish benchmark and supplement existing statistical baselines. A prototype database and analytic tools for this purpose was presented and evaluated. people science environment partners TrawlBase Project Objectives (Phase 1): Develop a fisheries resource information system (incorporating environmental and socioeconomic data) relevant to resource management needs of participating countries; Elaborate strategies and actions to assist participating countries in managing and rehabilitating their coastal fish stocks; and Strengthen the capabilities of national institutions in coastal fisheries assessment and management. people science environment partners The TrawlBase Project (Phase 1): Eight Participating Countries Department of Fisheries (DOF) Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI) Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) University of the Philippines in the Visayas (UPV) University of Chittagong (UC) Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR) Directorate of Fishery Resources Management (DFRM) Central Research Institute for Fisheries (CRIFI) Fisheries Research Institute (FRI) Department of Fisheries (DOF) Ministry of Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development (MFARD) Southern Marine Fisheries Development Center (SMFDC) Department of Fisheries (DOF) Research Institute for Marine Products (RIMP) Ministry of Fisheries (MOF) people science environment partners The TrawlBase Project (Phase 1): Multidisciplinary Design Fisheries Resource System & Tools Socioeconomic/ Bioeconomic Modeling Fisheries Resource Assessment CRM/ Policy/ Planning Fish Population/ Assemblage/ Analysis Analysis Fleet Bio- economic Operational economic Profile Dynamics Modeling Ecosystem Stock Community Socio- Analysis National Regional Strategy Strategy and and Action Plan Action Plan people science environment partners The Database System Fisheries Information System & Tools (FiRST) Designed as data container for extant trawl surveys. Provides access to analytic modules for proper data analysis. Also include generic socioeconomic, as well as catch and effort, data. people science environment partners The Database System Organization Country 9 main tables & their interrelationships Trawl Net Projects Trawler Cruises Stations Species Grouped L/F Ungrouped L/F people science environment partners The Database System Facilities Menu Bar Tool Bar List Bar Trawl Survey Modules Data Management Validate Data Reports… Backup Close Form Exit Program people science environment partners The Database System Key Information Contents A general description of the survey (e.g., details of boat, gear, etc.) Fishing stations (location, depth & oceanographic parameters) A list of species caught Catch taken by species/taxa. people science environment partners The Database System - Catch Details Dropdown List easy access to an option Indicators easy recognition of the presence of data Advance Search Input easy input of data people science environment partners The Database System- Gear Details Facility Allows the storage of scanned images of the technical specifications of the gear used people science environment partners The Database System- Station Details people science environment partners The Database System Key Highlights FiRST database with information for 21,000 hauls from South and Southeast Asia Bangladesh India Indonesia Malaysia Philippines Sri Lanka Thailand VietNam Others ~ 1,450 ~ 613 ~ 1,376 ~ 4,418 ~ 838 ~ 618 ~ 5,890 ~ 4,021 ~ 1,396 people science environment partners The Database System Data Access Protocol Data Classification: Restricted Conditionally accessible Fully accessible The data is released by the country The FiRST software distributed by the WorldFish Center people science environment partners The Database System Other Features Socioeconomic module Mapping routine Biomass routine Print routine - Raw data Catch and Catch per Effort - Biomass estimates Validate Data Other Features - Global key modification - Import/Export of data people science environment partners Key Research Findings... stocks are down to 5 to 30 percent of original unfished levels in most countries. this quantifies the extent of fishing capacity to be removed to restore the economic value of fisheries in the region.
