Collaborative project: Development of an innovative system for use on fishing vessels for the autonomous acquisition, transmission and evaluation of hydrographic measurement data for fisheries research - subproject A (HyFiVe)
Project
Project code: 2819103A20
Contract period: 01.07.2021
- 31.08.2024
Budget: 271,071 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: other aquatic organisms, sustainability, fishery, resource protection, resource efficiency, marine organisms, data collection, fish
The application of this systems on fishing trawlers across the EU will generate more intensive hydrographic data density, which will be used to improve forecasts for important BMEL task areas, such as - forecasts of fish stocks - reliable advice on future catch quotas - monitoring the marine environment of the North Sea and Baltic Sea (HELCOM) - status on ocean acidification, oxygen deficiency and eutrophication - Targeted implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSRL). Of the 11,097 fishing vessels of the Baltic Sea riparian states, 1,450 fish as trawlers, EU-wide there are 10,207. Based on market research, the target market value of the mobile units is about 12,000 € -14,000 €. This currently results in a potential market of € 17 - 20 million for the Baltic Sea countries and € 123 - 144 million EU-wide, which can be developed as a follow-up to this project. Another possible use for fisheries research: The anonymously recorded data (position, depth and time) provide good insight into the activity of the fisheries. Analyses can be carried out to evaluate the correlation between catch yields and hydrographic conditions in the fishing area to expand existing monitoring programmes. Fishermen who want to limit the time fish spend in the net in order to land fish of particularly good quality can use the system to provide evidence of this. The system can be quickly adapted to other requirements, both sectors and regions. Due to the low operating costs and the high coverage of the system, there is a high potential for further applications in the fields of fisheries biology, oceanography and hydrography beyond the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the EU.
