Raubfischen deutet auf Degradation des Ökosystems
- Einige Arten, denen eine Schlüsselbedeutng zukommt, sind stark überfischt, mit Fisch, der viel

“The seine net fishery is of great socio-economic importance to Rodrigues.
64 people in 2006 were licensed seine net fishers, out of a total of 2,024 registered fishers, which represents 3% of total fisher population. However, seine net landings make a significant contribution to total catch, totalling 266 tonnes in 2006 (42% of the catch of lagoon fish) (S. Perrine, pers. comm.).
Reports suggest that fishing activities within the lagoon are impacting heavily on fish stocks and seine net catches decreased from 264 tonnes in 1994 to 157 tonnes in 1997 (FRTU,2004). During 1997 a net buy-back scheme was introduced to reduce pressure on the lagoon.
As a result the number of seine net fishers decreased by more than 75% and catches increased to 278 tonnes by 2004; catches however have decreased again in recent years. The seine net fishery also has a number of management measures in place, including a closed season (30th September to 1st March), 5 closed areas where seine net fishing is permanently prohibited, a minimum mesh size of 9 cm and minimum catch sizes for different fish species.”
