Fish Aggregating Devices
Fisheries Aggregating Devices, or FADs, are strategically placed along the NSW coast during the warmer months. FADs have a long history of use in NSW, and were first a resource for fishers with the introduction of the Recreational Fishing Fee in 2001.. Monitoring of the FADs by DPIRD has shown mahi mahi (also known as dolphinfish) is the most common species found around …
FAD Management
Since ISSF's founding, Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) have been one of our major research topics. FADs are effective in attracting and catching tuna — and widely used by fishers. But FADs can stress tuna stocks and ocean ecosystems if not properly managed, increasing the risks of overfishing, overcapacity, and bycatch of non-target species that swim […]

How fish aggregating devices work
Fish aggregating devices (FADs) provide structure in an open ocean environment. Fish are attracted to FADs for various reasons, including to feed on prey species or as reference points for schooling. Most fish attracted to the Queensland FADs are seasonal pelagic fish, which travel in the warm water delivered by ocean currents. ...

An analysis of the uses, impacts and benefits of fish …
The widespread use of fish aggregating devices (FADs) in tuna fisheries has become an increasingly important management concern. FADs are floating objects, either natural or artificial, used by fishers to attract fish and make them easier to catch. There are two basic
Traditional Fish Aggregation Devices
Traditional FADs can be raft-like structures made of natural, locally sourced materials such as logs, or native trees. Historically, fish have also been aggregated with s and traps, where obstructions and paths are made in shallow waters to trap or channel fish.
Fishing Gear: Fish Aggregating Devices
The largest threat to sea turtles from FADs is entanglement. Old nets, ropes, and lines that are used in constructing FADs entangle turtles that come into contact with them. Turtles can become entangled around their flippers, head, neck, and carapace by any lines or nets associated with the … See more
