An MSc student of mine is finishing her thesis analysing and comparing a 20 years data collection of spearfishing and artisanal fisheries in the Azores. Can anyone help us with recent papers on this theme, especially dealing with Mediterranean and NE Atlantic fishing activities?
Hello Joao,
In the Institute IMEDEA-CSIC from the Balearic Islands there is a group specialized in recreational fishing effects. You can see some examples of their work here:

http://icesjms.oxfordjournals.org/content/65/6/899.short
You can contact any of them, they are really nice people and will be pleased to help you.
Good lucks to your MSc
Hi Rosario. Many thanks for this excelente tip. I'll study this links and put my MSc student in contact with them.
Muchíssimas gracias y un cordial saludo desde las islas Azores.
Hi Joao,
you could also look at publications by Pedro Veiga. He has done quite a bit on Portuguese recreational fisheries.
Good luck,
Keno
Many thanks Keno. I am accompanying Pedro's work.
All the best,
JP
Although far from your sites, here is an interesting assessment from Chile. Also see some Sergio Floeter´s contribution.
Godoy, N, Gelcich, LS, Vásquez, JA , Castilla, JC. 2010: Spearfishing to depletion: evidence from temperate reef fishes in Chile. Ecological applications : a publication of the Ecological Society of America 20: 1504-1511.
Yes Alejandro, I do have this reference but still could not find the PDF. Do you have it?
Muchísimas gracias y un abrazo,
JP
Hi Joao here you are the pubblication of your interest about Spearfhishing pressure in Chile.
I also suggest to you other works on this topic:
-Coll, J., et al. "Spear fishing in the Balearic Islands (west central Mediterranean): species affected and catch evolution during the period 1975–2001." Fisheries Research 70.1 (2004): 97-111.
-Lloret, Josep, et al. "Spearfishing pressure on fish communities in rocky coastal habitats in a Mediterranean marine protected area." Fisheries Research 94.1 (2008): 84-91.
- Lowry, Michael, and Iain Suthers. "Population structure of aggregations, and response to spear fishing, of a large temperate reef fish Cheilodactylus fuscus." Marine Ecology Progress Series 273 (2004): 199-210.
If you have some problems to find the pdf version, please feel free to ask to me
Best regards
Dan.
Many thanks Daniele. I'll be glad to send you the paper that will follow this work.
Best regards,
JP
