Fisheries data for analysis

The “Marine and Environmental Research (MER) Lab” communicated with the “Department of Fisheries and Marine Research (DFMR)” and obtained fisheries data from different coastal cities of Cyprus, as part of the sub-action C2.3: Demonstration of lionfish removal by fishermen. The data will be analysed to find (if any) correlation patterns in lionfish vs. native fish catches. “MER Lab” communicated with local fishermen, as well, in the region of Famagusta to educate, inform and upgrade them about the issue of the lionfish populations in Cyprus. Information related to lionfish catches was also discussed.
