Abstract The small-scale fishery has a high socio-economic importance in the Mediterranean Sea. This is especially relevant for specific areas that harbor, proportionally, very large part of the fleet, and thus, represent hot spots. Among such areas, Kalymnos Island merits special attention as it harbors the largest and most active small-scale fleet in the eastern Mediterranean. Therefore, the present study analyzes the small-scale longline fishery in Kalymnos, using the metiers approach, to assess its dynamics and evaluate associated economic profiles. A multivariate analysis was used to identify the relevant metiers, by inputting the main resources and fishing gear data that were recorded during landings. Six main practices were observed using set longlines, drifting longlines, handlines and squid jig-lines as fishing gears, and targeting the species Pagrus pagrus, Diplodus vulgaris, Pagellus erythrinus, Sparus aurata, Xiphias gladius, Octopus vulgaris and Loligo vulgaris; the above metiers earned a profit margin. The study revealed the multi-species nature of longline fishery in Kalymnos, and provided baseline information for their associated economic profiles, towards the development and implementation of sustainable management plans.

东地中海渔业的延绳钓技术和相关经济概况：卡林诺斯岛（南爱琴海）的案例研究

摘要 小规模渔业在地中海具有重要的社会经济意义。这对于按比例包含船队很大一部分的特定区域尤其相关，因此代表了热点。在这些地区中，卡林诺斯岛值得特别关注，因为它拥有地中海东部最大、最活跃的小型舰队。因此，本研究使用 Metiers 方法分析卡林诺斯岛的小型延绳钓渔业，以评估其动态并评估相关的经济概况。通过输入上岸期间记录的主要资源和渔具数据，使用多变量分析来确定相关指标。使用固定式延绳钓、漂流延绳钓、手钓和鱿鱼钓具作为渔具观察了六种主要做法，并针对 Pagrus pagrus、Diplodus vulgaris、Pagellus erythrinus、Sparus aurata、Xiphias Gladius、Octopus vulgaris 和 Loligo vulgaris 物种；上述制造商赚取了利润率。该研究揭示了卡林诺斯岛延绳钓渔业的多物种性质，并为其相关经济概况提供了基线信息，以制定和实施可持续管理计划。
