The time-tested indigenous fishing knowledge (IFK) of the Pacific Islands is seriously threatened due to the commercialization of fishing, the breakdown of traditional communal leadership and oral knowledge transmission systems, modern education and the movement of the younger generations to urban areas for work and/or study. As a consequence, IFK, which has been orally transmitted for generations, has been lost, not learned by the current generation, or remains undocumented. This desktop study focuses on the critical need for conserving and including IFK as a basis for assessing the conservation status of ecologically and culturally important keystone fisheries species as a basis for planning and site-specific management of marine and freshwater fisheries in Fiji and the Pacific Islands. The study reviews information on IFK from Fiji and elsewhere in the small oceanic islands of the Pacific as a basis for the conservation, documentation and intergenerational transfer of this knowledge as the foundation for sustainable fisheries management in these nations. The study spanned over documents from the last two and a half centuries. The results include a review of the nature and conservation status of IFK and the conservation status of species considered to be of particular ecological and cultural importance, reasons for the loss of species/taxa and associated knowledge and practices, and actions that need to be taken to address this loss. Moreover, it also highlights ways to counter the erosion of the threatened IFK so that the future generations can have access to it.

DNA barcoding methodologies are being increasingly applied not only for scientific purposes but also for diverse real-life uses. Fisheries assessment is a potential niche for DNA barcoding, which serves for species authentication and may also be used for estimating within-population genetic diversity of exploited fish. Analysis of single-sequence barcodes has been proposed as a shortcut for measuring diversity in addition to the original purpose of species identification. Here we explore the relative utility of different mitochondrial sequences (12S rDNA, COI, cyt b, and D-Loop) for application as barcodes in fisheries sciences, using as case studies two marine and two freshwater catches of contrasting diversity levels. Ambiguous catch identification from COI and cyt b was observed. In some cases this could be attributed to duplicated names in databases, but in others it could be due to mitochondrial introgression between closely related species that may obscure species assignation from mtDNA. This last problem could be solved using a combination of mitochondrial and nuclear genes. We suggest to simultaneously analyze one conserved and one more polymorphic gene to identify species and assess diversity in fish catches.

The capital investments model is most similar to the financial subventions model which is applied in EU countries, and in 2004. there have been 20.44% more financial means payed for this purpose.

Ovaj rad obrađuje sve relevantne statističke podatke o ribarstvu Republike Hrvatske, koji uključuju podatke o slatkovodnom ribarstvu (uzgoj slatkovodne ribe i drugih vodenih organizama, gospodarski i športski ribolov), morskom ribarstvu (marikultura, gospodarski ribolov, mali ribolov i prerada riba), uvozu i izvozu riba i ribljih proizvoda te podatke o novčanim potporama u ribarstvu. U uzgoju slatkovodne ribe u godini 2004. zabilježene su neznatne promjene u odnosu prema 2003. godini. Ukupna proizvodnja slatkovodnih riba u godini 2004. iznosila je 5.618 tona, od čega 4.259 tona toplovodnih vrsta, a 1.359 tona hladnovodnih vrsta slatkovodne ribe. Ukupne i proizvodne površine povećane su u usporedbi s prethodnom godinom, i to ukupne površine 1,94%, a proizvodne površine 5,42%. Ukupan ulov slatkovodne ribe u godini 2004. iznosio je 567 tona. Ukupna proizvodnja bijele morske ribe povećana je oko 20% u usporedbi s prethodnom godinom. Uzgoj dagnji, koji je od godine 1999. u laganom porastu, tijekom godine 2004. je smanjen, a uzgoj kamenica stagnira. Ulov morske ribe u odnosu na 2003. godinu povećan je 9,74%. Najveće povećanje od 21,62% zabilježeno je pri ulovu demerzalnih i ostalih vrsta riba. Uz povećanje ukupnog ulova, neznatno je povećan i broj gospodarskih ribara te broj ribarskih plovila. Ribara koji obavljaju ribolov za vlastitu potrošnju bez prava prodaje, odnosno ribara koji obavljaju mali ribolov, u godini 2004. bilo je 13.700. Ukupna proizvodnja ribljih prerađevina u 2004. iznosila je 14.270 tona, što je smanjenje od 24,89% u usporedbi s 2003. godinom. Uz ovo, znatno smanjenje zabilježen je i trend povećanja proizvodnog asortimana, od čega posebice soljenog inćuna. Vrijednost izvoza i u godini 2004. nadmašila je vrijednost uvoza, iako je odnos izvoza i uvoza količinski veći na strani uvoza. U usporedbi s prvom godinom isplate novčanih poticaja, 1997. godinom, tijekom godine 2004. isplaćeno je čak 67,21% veći iznos. Najznatniji udio od 32,03% isplaćen je za preradu ribe na područjima s težim uvjetima gospodarenja., This work deals with all the relevant statistic data regarding fisheries of Republic of Croatia, including freshwater fisheries data (aquaculture of fish and other aquatic organisms, commercial and sports fisheries), marine fisheries data (mariculture, commercial fisheries, small–scale fisheries and processing of fish and other marine organisms), as well as data about import and export of fish and fish products and the data about financial subventions in fisheries. Regarding aquaculture (freshwater fish farming) in 2004 there have been noticed slight changes comparing to 2003. The total freshwater fish production in 2004 was 5,618 tons (4,259 tons of warm–water species and 1,359 tons of cold–water species). Total areas and production areas were increased comparing to 2003 (total areas 1.94% and production areas 5.42%). Total catch of freshwater fish in 2004 was 567 tons. The total marine fish species production was increased cca. 20% comparing to 2003. Mussels farming, which is slightly increasing since 1999, during 2004 was decreased, while oysters farming were stagnating. The catch of marine fish was increased by 9.74% comparing to 2003. The biggest increase is noticed regarding catch of demersal and other fish species. As well as the increase of the total catch, the number of commercial fishermen and fishing vessels was also increased in 2003. The number of fishermen who fish for their own consumption (without the right to sell fish–small scale fishermen) in 2004 was 13,700. The total production of fish products in 2004 was 14,270 tons, which is 24.89% less comparing to 2003. Along this decrease, there has been also noticed an increasing trend of the production assortments, specially salted anchovy. The value of import in 2004 was higher than the value of export, although the export/import balance was higher in amount on the import side. Financial subventions payments in 2004 were 67.21% higher comparing to the first year of payments (1997). The highest percentage (32.03%) was paid for the processing of fish in the areas with more difficult commerce conditions.

U ovom su radu obrađeni i sažeti svi relevantni podaci o ribarstvu u Republici Hrvatskoj. To znači da su obrađeni podaci o slatkovodnom ribarstvu (uzgoj slatkovodne ribe i drugih vodenih organizama, gospodarski i rekreacijsko–športski ribolov), morskom ribarstvu (marikultura, gospodarski ribolov, mali ribolov i prerada riba), uvozu i izvozu riba i ribljih proizvoda te o novčanim poticajima u ribarstvu. Uzgoj slatkovodne ribe u godini 2003. obilježen je smanjenjem proizvodnje s obzirom na prethodnih pet godina. I dalje šaran je najdominantnija riba u uzgoju slatkovodne ribe, ali se njegov udio smanjuje iz godine u godinu, dok se udio proizvedene pastrve povećava. Uz smanjenje proizvodnje, smanjene su i ukupne i proizvodne površine na kojima se obavlja uzgoj, te su proizvodne površine najmanje u desetogodišnjem razdoblju i iznose 6.281,97 ha. U godini 2003. smanjen je i potrošak hrane, dok je potrošak gnojiva i vapna povećan, odnosno najveći je u desetogodišnjem razdoblju. Takav povećan i potrošak gnojiva i vapna uvjetovan je nepovoljnim klimatskim uvjetima tijekom ljeta. U godini 2003. nešto je bolja situacija u uzgoju morske ribe (marikulture) nego u uzgoju slatkovodne ribe. Dosegnuta proizvodnja bijele ribe ne mijenja se već nekoliko godina i iznosi 2.510 tona, a i uzgoj kamenica stagnira, dok se uzgoj dagnji u nekoliko posljednjih godina povećava kao i uzgoj tuna. Ulov ribe u gospodarskom ribolovu iznosi 29.102 tone i obavlja se na 34.000 km2, pa je u odnosu prema godini 2002. ulov povećan čak 49,24%. Uz povećanje ukupnog ulova povećan je i broj gospodarskih ribara te broj ribarskih plovila. Broj ribara koji obavljaju ribolov za vlastitu potrošnju bez prava prodaje, odnosno ribari koji obavljaju mali ribolov u godini 2003. iznosi 13.500. Proizvodnja ribe i ribljih proizvoda u 2003. godini iznosi 19.000 tona, od čega 62% otpada na konzerviranu ribu. Uvoz i izvoz ribe i ribljih proizvoda povećava se u desetogodišnjem razdoblju. Vrijednost izvoza stalno nadmašuje vrijednost uvoza iako je odnos izvoza i uvoza količinski mnogo veći na strani uvoza. Jedna od mjera potpore jesu i novčani poticaji koji se isplaćuju po proizvedenoj i prodanoj količini pa je u godini 2003. isplaćeno 68.266.489,79 kuna, odnosno 4,86 % više nego u godini 2002., This work deals with the analysis and sublimation of all the relevant informations regarding fisheries in Republic of Croatia. This means that there were processed data about freshwater fisheries (farming of freshwater fish and other aquatic organisms, commercial and sports fisheries), marine fisheries (mariculture, commercial fisheries, small–scale fisheries and processing of fish products), import and export of fish and fish products as well as the financial subventions regarding fisheries. The farming of freshwater fish in 2003 is marked by the decrease of production comparing to the past 5 years. Carp is furthermore the most dominant fish species in freshwater fish farming, but it’s percentage is decreasing, and the percentage of the trout is increasing over the years. In addition to the decrease of production, the areas of production are decreasing as well, and now they are the smallest in the past decade — 6,281.97 ha. In 2003 the amount of used food is also decreased, but the amount of used fertilizers and lime is increased, that means it is the biggest in the past decade. This is caused by the bad climate conditions during the summer. Marine fisheries farming (mariculture) in 2003 is in a slightly better position then the freshwater fish farming. The production of white fish species, which was reached before few years, is not changing — 2,510 tons, also the farming of oysters is stagnating, but in the past few years the farming of mussels and tuna fish is increasing. The total marine fish catch is 29,102 tons and it is performed over 34,000 km2, comparing to the 2002 it is increased by almost 49.24%. Additional to the increase of the total catch the number of commercial fishermen and fishing vessels is also increased. The number of fisherman which fish for their own consumption without the right to sell fish, that means the small–scale fishermen in 2003 is 13,500. The production of fish and fish products in 2003 is 19,000 tons, and the 62 % of it is canned fish. The import and export of fish and fish products is increasing over the last decade. The value of export is constantly overcoming the value of import, although the balance of export and import in amount is much bigger in the case of import. As one of the support measures, financial state subventions are paid according to the produced and sold amount, and in 2003 the state subventions were 68,266,489.79 kunas, which is 4.86 % more comparing to the 2002.
