Seafood Industry Australia (SIA) is the national peak body that represents the Australian seafood industry as a whole, including members from wild catch, aquaculture and post-harvest sectors. According to the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), the fishing and petroleum industries represent a combined contribution to the Australian economy of ~AU$28.5 billion (in 2015–2016) and employ (directly and indirectly) over 55000 Australians.1 At times, our industries’ interests have competed. However, we recognise that we can unlock value for the economy, and those who work in our industries, by finding effective ways to work together. In 2014, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between five commercial fishing and seafood industry associations and APPEA. This MOU committed to the core principles of improved cooperation, open communication and stronger consultation. There is significant benefit for both industries in learning how to improve shared access to marine resources, whether at the early stages of petroleum activities (e.g. seismic) or at the end of an asset’s life (e.g. decommissioning). This presentation will look at efforts to improve relationships between our two industries and make observations about potential ways forward.

Abstract Stuart, V., Platt, T., Sathyendranath, S., and Pravin, P. 2011. Remote sensing and fisheries: an introduction. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 639–641. The international coordination project SAFARI (Societal Applications in Fisheries and Aquaculture using Remotely-sensed Imagery) organized a symposium on Remote Sensing and Fisheries in Kochi, India, 11–17 February 2010. The well-attended symposium highlighted various applications of remote sensing to fisheries and aquaculture and identified various steps that would further enhance the use of remote sensing for sustainable management of marine resources and stewardship of the oceans.

Abstract “Ocean connectivity” is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field of research in marine science, partly because there is an increasing demand for information on connectivity that informs effective assessment and management of marine resources. Achieving this will require a better alignment between ocean connectivity tools and developments and the needs and challenges of assessments and conservation. For these reasons, the ICES Journal of Marine Science solicited contributions to the article theme set (TS), “Beyond ocean connectivity.” We briefly summarize the nine articles that appear herein, grouping them into four general topics: methodological advances, population dynamics and assessment implications of connectivity, spatial and management implications, and connectivity in ecosystem processes. We also discuss the challenges facing ocean connectivity research if it is to effectively support advancing fisheries assessment frameworks and integrated ecosystem approaches. We hope that the contributions included in this TS serve to convince managers and fisheries scientists of the need to incorporate results from research on connectivity.

Chapter 5 guides the reader through the process of conducting interviews. From gaining trust to discussing the core issues to reaching a close, each stage poses distinct challenges. The beginning goal is to make a personal connection and establish trust so that the rest of the interview can flow comfortably, effectively, and enjoyably. The heart of the interview—and the lengthiest stage—consists of asking the core substantive questions and following where they lead, which is often in unexpected directions. The final stage requires bringing the interview to a close, taking care that each participant feels satisfied with the experience and ready to finish. Success at all these stages depends on close attention and careful listening—to what participants say, to how they say it, and even to matters about which they are reluctant to speak. Active listening is integral to building a collaborative process that takes the interview where each person’s responses lead. The chapter also considers practical matters such as the best settings for interviews and how to record the interactions. Additionally, it considers the ethical issues involved in interviewing, including such core principles as ensuring privacy, confidentiality, and respect. Following these principles protects interviewees and creates a safe environment that enhances open communication.

Fishers, Fishing, and Overfishing: American Experiences in Global Perspective, 1976–2006

Seafood Processing

Since the mid-1970s, overfishing has had a considerable impact on the American seafood industry, and companies serving the American seafood market have taken steps to respond to the crisis. Following a brief survey of modern-day fishing and of the steps that have been taken to mitigate overfishing, the strategies adopted for commercial fishing in American waters, especially those in Alaska, are examined. Through their attempts to deal with the challenges posed by overfishing, fishers, seafood-processing and wholesaling companies, and retailers have fundamentally altered the industry. In conclusion, a summary of studies by historians and other scholars of fishery matters is followed by suggestions for historical research on the topic. Historians are reminded of the need to consider environmental factors when writing about business developments.
