Miliou, A., Kolle, S., Clarke, J., Demetriou, M. Production and Composition of Small-Scale Fisheries Landings in the Eastern Aegean Sea. Rapport de la Commission Internationale de la Mer Méditerranée (CIESM) 2010.

 

Abstract:

The biomass and species composition of the landings from 7 coastal small scale fisheries vessels were compared over a 5 month period in SW Samos, eastern Aegean Sea. The quantitative composition of the landings was assessed for the different metiers: trammel net, small gillnet, long line, boat seine and a locally practiced metier, “kalami”. The total landing weight of this fleet between June and October was 14.3 tons, dominated by the catches of the small gill net métier (52.7%).
