SCW12 Habitat Monitoring
A Habitat Monitoring workshop (SCW12) was held on 20 September 2021. The Habitat Monitoring Working Group is co-chaired by Dr Aquiles Sepulveda and Dr Mariano Gutierrez.
The report of the SCW12 is now available.
The discussion topics/schedule for the Habitat Monitoring workshop is as follows:
1.Evaluate the applicability of data collected from fishing vessels targeting pelagic species :
- Preliminary classification of fleet by acoustic data collection capabilities (Peru, SC9-HM05)
- Acoustic Equipment of the Purse Seine Fleet of Central-South Chile (Chile, SC9- HM09
2. Mapping spatial-temporal population density distribution of jack mackerel using a combination of the existing acoustic survey data and acoustic information as obtained from industry vessels :
- Habitat conditions for Jack and Chub mackerel in the Peruvian Sea January 2020 to June 2021 (Peru, SC9-HM04)
- Space-time dynamics of the Jack mackerel fishery off south central Chile 2004-2021 (Chile, SC9-HM07)
- Spatial distribution and acoustic habitat monitoring of Chilean jack mackerel from fishing vessels 2021 (Chile, SC9-HM08)
3. Characterize jack mackerel habitat
- Adapting the concept of metapopulations to large scale pelagic habitats (EU, SC9-HM01)
- Jack Mackerel habitat studies (EU, SC9-HM06)
- Interannual variability of the habitat suitability of jack mackerel in the Northern Peru Current System, 2011-2019 (Peru, SC9-HM02)
- Relating sea surface anomaly to ocean vorticity and catches of Jack mackerel (Peru, SC9-HM03)
4. Draft Terms of Reference for Habitat Monitoring Symposium (Symposium Steering Group, SC9-HM10)
