Abstract
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is useful for monitoring vocal fish but has had so far limited application in fisheries management. Here, four years (2016–2019) of concurrent daily catch and effort fishery data in Portugal and species-specific vocal activity in the Tagus estuary are compared to describe biological and small-scale fishery dynamics for a large sciaenid fish, the meagre (Argyrosomus regius), that aggregates to spawn. Consistent patterns in seasonality of acoustic and fisheries variables indicate that most fishing takes place within the Tagus estuary in spring and summer months, when higher vocal activity related to spawning aggregations is detected in the PAM station. Good fit of statistical models shows that PAM (sound pressure level in the third-octave band with centre frequency at 500 kHz during dusk) and PAM-supported variables (mean weekly catch per first sale transaction) can provide useful surveillance indicators to improve local management. Signs of overexploitation and hyperstability are detected and communicated to the estuarine fishing communities with the aim to initiate an adaptive local management cycle. The approach can be relevant for fisheries targeting other vocal fish that seasonally aggregate and face similar threats of overexploitation.
期刊介绍：
The subject matter is focused on include evolutionary biology, zoogeography, taxonomy, including biochemical taxonomy and stock identification, genetics and genetic manipulation, physiology, functional morphology, behaviour, ecology, fisheries assessment, development, exploitation and conservation. however, reviews will be published from any field of fish biology where the emphasis is placed on adaptation, function or exploitation in the whole organism.
