Advantages of the FAD fishery |
Increase yields (up to 60-70%) by increasing chances to catch big pelagics |
|
|
Requires little technological innovation |
||
|
Cost and effort saving |
||
|
Eases pressure on reef fishes |
||
|
Encourage individuals to join the fishery, increases fishers' confidence |
||
|
Drawbacks of the FAD fishery |
Potential source of conflicts: longlines stolen,, interfere with longlines,, |
|
|
Vulnerable to hurricanes, boats, pb of safety |
||
|
too many fishermen, more work and money for monitoring, marketing troubles |

|
Advantages of the FAD fishery |
Self improvement of the cost/lifespan ratio by fishermen |
|
No cost for the whole community |
|
|
A high density of FADs allows field study of the assessed "biological trap" effect of the FADs |
|
|
A high density of FADs eases the catch of dolphinfishes |
|
|
Induces the self regroupment of fishermen in associations to manage FADs |
|
|
Drawbacks of the FAD fishery |
Decreasing yields around coastal FADs |

FADs deployed farer and farer, hazardous for sailing |
