Traduction de «Espèce piscicole » (Français → Anglais) :

At a time when some fish stocks are said to be dwindling to the point of collapse, we should not ignore the role that habitats, such as this, play in helping to sustain the marine environment.

Nevertheless, in the face of a public opinion that cares about protecting nature and of the economic risks created by the collapse of some fish species, fishermen are realising that they must be marine life’s allies and not its enemies.

The feeding of waste of farmed fish to farmed fish of the same species will be prohibited to avoid recycling of specific fish diseases of farmed fish.

In Greece protection of a rare turtle will operate alongside small-scale commercial fishing.

Actions need to ensure that key ecological systems are kept operational, and that loss of species, habitat and bio-diversity do not deplete other resource bases such as fish stock.

The association's concerns include: the risk of disease transfer from net pens to wild stocks; risk of disease introduction from the importation of exotic species' eggs and milt; the increased risk of the transfer of common diseases among domestic species; the loss of access to traditional, commercial, recreational, and aboriginal fishing grounds; pollution of habitat from fish sewage; government funding and subsidies for aquaculture resulting in fewer financial and human resources available for research assessment and the management of wild fish resources; injury, stress, and mortality to marine animals caused by net entanglement and the use of acoustic deterrent devices; the impacts on wild resources from drugs and ...[+++]pesticides used on aquaculture sites; genetic interaction between wild and escaped farm fish; competition for food between wild and escaped farm fish; the losses of wild fish, especially small juveniles consumed by net pen fish; the loss of juvenile habitat; parasite infestation; the presence of farms altering the availability of natural plankton and feeds and creating a hostile environment for wild fish larvae and juvenile fish; increased disease susceptibility due to increased stress levels among pen fish; risk to human health from increased utilization of antibiotics and other drugs used in farm fish; and the risk and impact of farm fish becoming resistant to antibiotics.
