An Australian expert says China has clear ambition to fish more krill and exert its influence in the region, while Russia may have a more disruptive agenda. Photograph: Hemis/Alamy
[3/3] Selon Tony Press (Univ. Tasmanie) le blocage de l'accord sur le #krill marque un recul du principe de précaution. Les tensions géopolitiques sapent la coopération nécessaire pour protéger l'Antarctique, un écosystème fragile en pleine crise climatique. #geography #geopolitics #krillfishing
Figure 3. Spatial distribution of catches by decade in the krill fishery reported to CCAMLR (Source: FAO STATLANT data before 1988, C1 data since 1988). In the period 1973-1979, catches are reported at the scale of the FAO Major Fishing Areas: Area 48 (South Atlantic sector), Area 58 (Indian Ocean sector) and Area 88 (Pacific Ocean sector). In the period 1980-1987, this reporting includes catches by Subarea within Area 48. Since 1988 the provision of catch data to CCAMLR has either been at a spatial scale of 1 deg. longitude by 0.5 deg. latitude, with catches aggregated over monthly, 10-day and daily timescales, or, by individual haul. The aggregation of the data in the four lower panels uses equal area (100 km x 100 km) cells. Coastlines and ice shelves: UK Polar Data Centre/BAS and Natural Earth. Projection: EPSG 6932.
[2/3] La #Chine prévoit 5 navires supplémentaires pour la pêche au #krill. Cette exploitation et la fonte rapide de la banquise aggravent la menace sur le crustacé. L'acidification des océans limite aussi sa reproduction, alertent des experts en biodiversité marine. #geography #HGGSP #krillfishing
