Sažetak
Small-scale fisheries (SSFs) play a considerable role in the overall seafood production and have potential to significantly contribute to a sustainable socio-economic growth of the Adriatic Sea. This area has been inhabited for millennia and coastal ecosystems have been altered by several human activities. Due to its particular geo-morphology, fish stocks living in the basin are often shared between transboundary countries and, hence, transnational cooperation is strongly needed for their management. However, despite its socio-economic importance, the lack of data is one of the main gap constraining an effective transboundary management. On this basis, the aim of the present study was to partially fill the gap by collecting and analyzing all the best available data on set gears and target species provided by fishery scientists joining the FAO AdriaMed working group on SSFs. The general approach was to analyze on a seasonal basis the fishing effort and landings in terms of species composition, biomass, demography and economic value. The results showed a strong influence of the geo-morphology and oceanography of the Adriatic on the spatial distribution of the target species, which is clearly reflected by an opportunistic fishing strategy based on the seasonal adoption of species-specific set gears. Catch data showed that SSFs significantly contribute to the overall fishing mortality, affecting the spawning stock biomass and the recruitment. Indeed, while set gears are considered more selective than mobile ones, the fact that SSFs increase their fishing pressure exactly during spawning and recruitment might affect the achievement of the biological sustainability
