We present a global overview of the management of aggregations, and explore management options. We evaluate conventional fishery management and marine protected area options in relation to aggregation conservation, and examine examples of management successes and failures. Most management to date has been reactive, and there remains an overwhelming need for proactive management of aggregations. Long-term monitoring, appropriate fishery policy and extensive fisher and community consultation and outreach are key elements in instituting effective and adaptive management of spawning aggregations.

Fishers are a key source of knowledge for assessment of both extractive capacity and value in small-scale fisheries, in addition to providing a broad array of cultural knowledge. The increasing recognition of the value of incorporating traditional fishing knowledge in freshwater, riverine, lacustrine and coastal and marine fisheries management is now evident in international conventions and published literature. The purpose of these guidelines is to make it easier for users to recognise and include fishers’ knowledge as an important data stream in resource management. The report includes details on the breadth of knowledge that can be gathered, how it can be gathered, and how this information can be applied to support sus...
