The ICES Working Group on Mixed Fisheries Methodology (WGMIXFISH-METHODS) met to progress work on the improvement and development of the mixed fisheries advice. In this report the group provides a summary of the work completed in 2022.
The work addressed included improving workflows for the advice process, presenting method-ological advances, developing new ecoregions and responding to issues encountered during WGMIXFISH-ADVICE 2022. ...

Binnen het project Benthis Nationaal werd de Europese procedure voor evaluatie van bodemimpact door visserij verder ontwikkeld en toegepast op Vlaamse vistuigen en visgronden. Dat gebeurde door specificaties van vistuig en gevoeligheid van habitats in rekening te brengen, en door de ontwikkeling van een nieuwe indicator. Hierbij werd de evolutie van de bodemimpact van de Vlaamse visserij in kaart gebracht. Ook laat de verfijning op maat van de ...

his report describes and covers most of the input required for the background document that is
needed for taking conservation measures under the Common Fishery Policy and contains:
- An overview of the conservation objectives and environmental targets of relevance
- Scenarios to select key areas for restrictions of bottom disturbing activities
- An up-to-date distribution map of the benthic habitats and their biological ...

Visible–near infrared–shortwave infrared (VNIR–SWIR) spectroscopy is being increasingly used for soil organic carbon (SOC) assessment. Common practice consists of scanning soil samples using a single spectrometer. Considerations have rarely been documented of the effects of using multiple instruments and scanning conditions on SOC model calibration that occur when merging soil spectral libraries (SSLs), particularly in soils with low SOC ...

PROBYFISH developed a modelling framework and a support tool to assess whether proposals for regionalised management measures are in accordance with the objectives of the CFP. The project developed robust methods to define target and bycatch species and to divide the bycatch species into valuable bycatch species, that are generally retained on board and landed, and collateral bycatch species, that are generally discarded. The classification of a ...

Agriculture and intensive farming are a large source of green house gas emissions. Since currently about 70% of its energy is coming from polluting fossil fuels, it is necessary to implement renewable technologies in stables, which is currently being investigated with the RES4LIVE project. Some of the possibilities are: photovoltaic and thermal solar panels, heat pumps, ventilation energy recovery, wind energy and manure energy recovery. To ...

With the advancement of IoT devices and thanks to the unprecedented visibility and transparency they provide, diverse IoT-based applications are being developed. With the proliferation of IoT, both the amount and type of data items captured have increased dramatically. The data generated by IoT devices reside in different organizations and systems, and a major barrier to utilizing the data is the lack of interoperability among the standards used ...
