  1. The bluefin tuna fishery in the Bay of Biscay : its relationship with the crisis of catches of large specimens in the East Atlantic fisheries from the 1960s

    Cort, José Luis
    Cham, Switzerland : Springer Open, [2019]

    This open access book is an original contribution to the knowledge on fishing and research associated with one of the most enigmatic fish of our seas: bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus (L.). Based on available evidence, it reconstructs the possible methods used to catch large spawners in the Strait of Gibraltar thousands of years ago and describes the much more recent overfishing that led to a great reduction in the catches of the trap fishery on the area and the disappearance of the northern European fisheries. It is the first book to relate the overfishing of juvenile fishes in certain areas to the decline of large spawners in other very distant areas, revealing one of the main underlying causes of this decline, which has remained a mystery to the fishing sector and scientists alike for over 50 years. This finding should serve to prevent similar cases from arising in the future.

  3. L’or bleu des Seychelles : Histoire de la pêche industrielle au thon dans l’océan Indien

    Cort, José Luis
    Marseille : IRD Éditions, 2017.

    En 1976, année de l’indépendance du pays, il n’existait aux Seychelles aucune pêche thonière industrielle, et peu d’experts prévoyaient un développement majeur de ces pêcheries. Aujourd’hui Victoria, la capitale, devenue l’un des ports thoniers les plus actifs au monde, héberge l’une des plus grosses conserveries de la planète et l’industrie thonière constitue la clef de voûte de l’économie du pays. On ignore souvent que le thon en conserve consommé en Europe provient pour l’essentiel des eaux seychelloises, qui recèlent de très importantes ressources en thons, découvertes lors des campagnes expérimentales de pêche menées par des thoniers senneurs français et espagnols. En vingt ans seulement, les retombées socio-économiques ont été considérables, avec la création d’emplois et par ailleurs la mise en place d’une flottille palangrière semi-industrielle conduite par des opérateurs locaux. La recherche scientifique a en permanence accompagné ce développement, en assurant un suivi continu de la pêche thonière pour une gestion raisonnée des stocks et la préservation des écosystèmes pélagiques. Fruit d’une importante recherche documentaire et de témoignages recueillis auprès de scientifiques, de patrons thoniers et de personnalités politiques, cet ouvrage retrace les différentes étapes de cette « épopée thonière » jalonnée d’échecs et de réussites. Il nous livre le récit détaillé et vivant de cette tranche d’histoire mal connue et pourtant décisive pour le développement et la diversification économique des Seychelles, et pour les pêcheries thonières de l’océan Indien.
