Abstract Maximum sustainable yield, popularly known by its acronym msy, is perhaps the most disputed concept in the realm of international fisheries law. The first part of this article briefly describes the genesis, development and subsequent adoption of the msy concept in international, regional and national fisheries management instruments. The second part documents the criticisms that the msy concept has generated to date and seeks to find out the legal status of the msy concept in international fisheries law. The third part of this article critically examines the adoption of the msy concept in the legal and policy regime for marine fisheries in Bangladesh. The article argues that more rigorous provisions for conservation of marine ecosystem should be incorporated in fisheries management policies of Bangladesh instead of solely relying on the msy concept as an objective of fisheries management.

Abstract MSY principles for marine fisheries management reflect a focus on obtaining continued high catches to provide food and livelihoods for humanity, while not compromising ecosystems. However, maintaining healthy stocks to provide the maximum sustainable yield on a single-species basis does not ensure that broader ecosystem, economic, and social objectives are addressed. We investigate how the principles of a “pretty good yield” range of fishing mortalities assumed to provide >95% of the average yield for a single stock can be expanded to a pretty good multispecies yield (PGMY) space and further to pretty good multidimensional yield to accommodate situations where the yield from a stock affects the ecosystem, economic and social benefits, or sustainability. We demonstrate in a European example that PGMY is a practical concept. As PGMY provides a safe operating space for management that adheres to the principles of MSY, it allows the consideration of other aspects to be included in operational management advice in both data-rich and data-limited situations. PGMY furthermore provides a way to integrate advice across stocks, avoiding clearly infeasible management combinations, and thereby hopefully increasing confidence in scientific advice.

Maximum Economic Yield

Perikanan tangkap di waduk, merupakan potensi yang dapat diandalkan bagi pemenuhan kebutuhan hidup masyarakat sekitarnya, sayangnya kegiatan ini belum banyak mendapat perhatian pengelolaan. Terbukti dari masih sangat rendahnya kontribusi sektor perikanan tangkap waduk ini pada perekonomian daerah. Untuk digunakan sebagai basis pengelolaan, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis  pengaruh aktivitas produksi (penangkapan) terhadap kondisi sumber daya ikan seperti parameter biologi dan rente sumberdaya perikanan pada kondisi aktual, lestari, dan juga optimal, dengan menggunakan model bio-ekonomi standard logistik dan Gompertz. Skenario model yang digunakan adalah analisis bio-ekonomi model logistik Gordon Schaefer (GS) dengan estimasi parameter algoritma Fox, dan model Fox/Gompertz dengan estimasi  parameter biologi seluruhnya algoritma CYP. Analisis perikanan tangkap dilakukan dengan menggunakan skenario rezim pengelolaan open access, Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) dan Maximum Economic Yield (MEY). Hasil penelitian menunjukan adanya overfishing dan overcapacity pada beberapa tahun pengamatan yang ditandai dengan adanya kelebihan effort baik pada Model GS maupun Gompertz. Pengelolaan dengan menggunakan rezim MEY memberikan nilai rente yang paling maksimum, dengan biomass yang lebih konservatif, dan  effort yang lebih efisien, baik pada model GS maupun model Gompertz. Implikasi kebijakan pengelolaan waduk melalui rasionalisasi jumlah alat tangkap. Model MSY mengisyaratkan rasionalisasi alat tangkap lebih sedikit dibandingkan model MEY, sementara Model Gompertz mengisyaratkan penurunan alat tangkap lebih tinggi dibandingkan model GS. Alternatif pembatasan output atau kuota output juga dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan nilai JTB. Title: Sustainable Fisheries Management in Cirata Dam: Bio-Economic ModellingCapture fisheries in the dam is a potential that can be relied for the surrounding community subsistence. Unfortunately this activity has not received much attention management. This was evident from the very low dam fisheries contribution, to the regional economy. For the purpose of fisheries management in the dam, this study was conducted to analyze the effect of production activities, on the condition of fish resources such as biological parameters and fishery resource rents on actual conditions, sustainable, and optimally, using bio-economic model of standard logistic and Gompertz. The scenario model used is the analysis of bio-economic model of logistics Gordon Schaefer (GS) with the parameter estimation of Fox algorithm, and  Gompertz model  with algorithm CYP  for biological parameter estimation. Analysis of fisheries carried out by using a scenario of open access management regime, Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) and the Maximum Economic Yield (MEY). The results showed overfishing and overcapacity in several years of observation which is characterized by an excess of effort both on the GS model and Gompertz. Management using MEY regime provides the maximum possible value of rents, with biomass more conservative and more efficient effort, both on the GS model and the model of Gompertz. Policy implications reveal from the study is dam management through the rationalization of the number of fishing gear or boats. MSY model suggests rationalization of fishing gear less than the model MEY, while the Gompertz model implies a decrease in fishing gear higher than the GS model. Alternative output restrictions or quotas outputs can also be implemented by using the value of total allowable catch.

Climate change is altering habitats for marine fishes and invertebrates, but the net effect of these changes on potential food production is unknown. We used temperature-dependent population models to measure the influence of warming on the productivity of 235 populations of 124 species in 38 ecoregions. Some populations responded significantly positively (n = 9 populations) and others responded significantly negatively (n = 19 populations) to warming, with the direction and magnitude of the response explained by ecoregion, taxonomy, life history, and exploitation history. Hindcasts indicate that the maximum sustainable yield of the evaluated populations decreased by 4.1% from 1930 to 2010, with five ecoregions experiencing losses of 15 to 35%. Outcomes of fisheries management—including long-term food provisioning—will be improved by accounting for changing productivity in a warmer ocean.

ABSTRAKUpaya untuk  pengelolaan perikanan tangkap yang berpijak pada konsep efisiensi untuk meraih keunggulan komparatif dan kompetitif adalah dengan menentukan status pemanfaaatan ikan, khususnya ikan yang bernilai ekonomi penting sebagai tahap awal. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menentukan potensi dan status pemanfaatan ikan kakap merah dan ikan kerapu di  Selat Alas Propinsi NTB. Metode yang digunakan untuk menentukan tingkat pemanfaatan adalah dengan menggunakan potensi maksimum lestari dari  Schaefer. Penelitian dilakukan di desa-desa nelayan di sekitar Selat Alas Propinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB). Potensi lestari (MSY) ikan kakap merah sebesar sebesar 205,8 ton/tahun, sedangkan ikan kerapu sebesar 259,1 ton/tahun. Status pemanfaatan ikan kerapu sebesar (Ephinephelus sp) 197,2%  tergolong status over exploited. Sedangkan  ikan kakap merah (Lutjanus campechanus)  sebesar 65,7% berada dalam status moderately exploited. Kata kunci : Moderately exploited, Over exploited, Persamaan Schaefer, Selat Alas, Propinsi NTB. ABSTRACTFor fisheries management which is based on the concept of efficiency to achieve comparative and competitive advantages is to determine utilization status of fish catch, particularly fish of economically important. The aim of this study is to determine utilization and potentian status of grouper and red snapper fish in the Alas Strait of West Nusa Tenggara Province. The method has been used to determine the level of utilization of fish by using the maximum sustainable yield of Schaefer.The study was conducted in the fishing villages around the Alas Strait West Nusa Tenggara Province.

AbstractThe contemporary legal regime for marine capture fisheries is dominated by management based on maximum sustainable yield (MSY). This study examines the law, science, politics and practice of MSY in a selection of developing archipelagic states to assess whether and how MSY is being used in the management of single fish species and as part of a broader ecosystem approach to fisheries management.
