Report and Proceedings of the Expert Consultation on Shared Fishery Resources of the Lesser Antilles Region. Mayaquez, Puerto Rico, 8-12 September 1986.
The final report and the background documents presented at this FAO Expert Consultation in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, 8-12 September 1986, form Parts I and II of this single report. The final report forms Part I of the volume, and reviews our knowledge of distributional patterns of commercial invertebrates (conch and lobster), demersal and small and large pelagic fish stocks occurring in the Lesser Antilles subregion of the WECAF Commission area, and on the basis of existing information, places these resources in objective categories from a fisheries management perspective. The main options for management of domestic and foreign fishing are outlined. Part II contains background documents on a variety of topics, including reviews of the existing data base on invertebrates and demersal fish stocks, swordfish and oceanic pelagics. An objective classification of stocks by mode of sharing is presented, foreign fishing activity in the subarea is reviewed, and seasonality and migration s of pelagic fish discussed. An overview of options for shared stock management is also included.
