    This Flip Chart is designed to be used by teachers and facilitators during relevant school and/or Environment Club activities. The Flip Chart consists of 2 sections: 1. Environment 2. Biodiversity. Each section contains background information which should be read out to students. The sections also include activities relevant to that topic. There are suggested times allocated to each activity to help you plan the lesson. • On the front of each page is the illustration, visible so the students can find a context for the discussion. The front of the page also contains diagrams for the activities. • On the back of the pages is a BACKGROUND FOR TEACHERS, which provides you with information to support the lesson. You may want to use some of the facts in your discussion. Also on the back of pages are the discussion points which you should read out to stimulate class discussion.

    Maldives pole-and-line tuna fishery : livebait fishery review 2015
    (Marine Research Section, Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, 2015) Jauharee, A. Riyaz; Neal, Ken; Miller, Kelsey I.; އޭ. ރިޔާޒް ޖައުހަރީ; ކެން ނީލް; ކެލްސީ އައި. މިލަރ
    Fishing for tuna is an important industry in the Maldives, providing employment for thousands of people and contributing up to 1.3% of GDP (NBS 2014). The pole-and-line fishery for tuna targets skipjack Katsuwonus pelamis , yellowfin Thunnus albacares and big eye Thunnus obesus . The pole-and-line fishery depends on livebait: small shoaling fish that are thrown alive into the water behind the fishing vessel to elicit a feeding response in the tuna and encourage them to attack the lures on line at the end of the poles whereupon they are flicked into the fishing vessel. These small fish are collected with rectangular lift nets, often using lights at night to lure them to the water’s surface, within atolls prior to each fishing trip in the open ocean and are kept alive on the fishing vessel in tanks in the vessels’ hold. The pole-and-line tuna fishery was accredited by the Marine Stewardship Council as being sustainable in 2012 but with eight conditions, one of which concerned the quantity of livebait being harvested and another with the interaction of endangered, threatened and protected species (ETP) with the livebait fishery. Since 2010, logbook data has been collected throughout the Maldives on the quantity and type of bait being collected by pole-and-line fishers as well as any interactions with ETP species. Initially, low numbers of logbook records were returned and therefore only data from 2011 onwards was included in the analysis. Logbook returns peaked in 2013 at over ten thousand records but not all of these could be used due to missing pieces of information. Nevertheless, once the data had been filtered for full records, many thousands of data points were used in the analysis. Silver sprat Spratelloides gracilis was the most important bait species throughout the Maldives with varying contributions to livebait catches from blue sprat Spratelloides delicatulus, anchovy Encrasicholina heteroloba, cardinalfish Apogonidae, fusiliers Caesionidae and species of Chromis. 7 Analysis of catches showed great variability in quantities of livebait between region, year and month. Statistical comparison of catches between years was impaired in many cases by lack of data, but many species showed either no significant difference in catches between years or a decrease from 2011 to 2014, depending on region. Importantly, any differences between years were not consistent by species or region and therefore changes in catches may be related to local depletion or inter-annual variability in abundance of these short-lived species rather than population-level effects of the bait fishery. Logbook data on interactions of the collection of bait fish with ETP species was lacking and therefore appraisal was made using that collected by independent observers of bait fishing operations. All indications are that ETP species are not harmed in any way by bait fishing and occasional entanglement or entrapment in the gear usually results in the organism in question being released without injury. Sharks and stingrays are an exception (not ETP species globally but do benefit from protection in the Maldivian waters) which occasionally suffer injury when being extracted from the nets used for collecting bait.
