A serious impediment blocks advancement of individual transferable quota (ITQ) policy in the United States, particularly in North Pacific fisheries being considered for ITQ management. The traditional ITQ design, that allocates rights to only the harvesting sector, unintentionally expropriates wealth/property interests from the co-dependent-processing sector. This regulatory expropriation is a...
The use of artificial reefs in the creation of commercial and recreational fisheries has received growing attention in recent years, and artificial reef development programs are now being undertaken by a number of countries worldwide. Despite a substantial volume of scientific information on the technical and biological aspects of artificial...
This study examines the status of women and their contributions to the fishing industry in West Africa with a particular emphasis on Nigeria. The existence of varied fish resources in the region can play a significant role in the nutritional and economic well being of the people as it relates...
Cette communication s'intéresse à l'essor que connaît l'aquaculture en Thaïlande depuis quelques années dans le but de mettre en évidence certaines répercussions socio-économiques provoquées par le développement accéléré de cette activité. L'auteur présente le cas d'un village côtier du sud-est thaïlandais où la transformation récente d'un territoire rizicole en une...
Before 1991, the Department of Fisheries was the sole formal fisheries management authority in Sierra Leone. This authority's management of the fisheries resulted, however, in less than 10% of the estimated annual resource rent accruing to government and in increasing the importance of resource over-exploitation. To improve stock conservation and...
There is great concern at present that fish stocks are being depleted by over-fishing. Part of the problem of over-fishing is caused by the common property nature of the fishery resources. In particular, high seas fishery resources, such as highly migratory fish stocks (HMFS) and straddling fish stocks, suffer from...
Les importations de poisson jouent un rôle prépondérant ans l'approvisionnement de la population camerounaise en matière de produits de pêche. Avec près de 12 millions d'habitants pour une croissance de 3,2 %. la demande globale de poisson plafonne autour de 200 000 t par an alors que la production locale...
The purpose of the Australian National Fisheries Adjustment Scheme (ANFAS) project is to develop a policy framework under which structural adjustment can occur in a coherent and coordinated manner, and to develop operational guidelines on how to develop structural adjustment schemes. The ANFAS will not establish a mandatory scheme, nor...
The United Kingdom is the world's second largest producer of farmed Atlantic salmon. It also represents one of the larger markets for the product. During the 1980s, there was rapid growth in the industry stimulated by high market prices and major technological advances. While there was a substantial increase in...
In developed country markets, the consideration of consumer wants has not been prominent hitherto in aquaculture production decisions. Like capture fisheries aquaculture has been product driven. This supply-side focus reflects an emphasis upon technical solutions to the production and capacity problems of high unit value (HUV) species culture. Whilst this...
The Traditional Management of Artisanal Fisheries in North East Nigeria project (TMAF) has been funded by British Overseas Development Administration (ODA) to investigate the possibilities for designing a more effective management system for fisheries of the Sub-Saharan Savanna region using a community-based approach. The need for a new approach is...
Dans le cadre de la coopération Franco-Brésilienne, l'IFREMER, l'Etat de Bahia et la société Littoral Sul Maricultura ont développé une nouvelle technique d'élevage de crevettes pénéides (Penaeus vannamei) en utilisant des cages flottantes. Après trois années de mise au point, cette technique s'est avérée intéressante sur plusieurs aspects. La productivité...
This paper relates fish market and product development to consumer habits, perceptions, income, and other socio-economic factors through descriptive statistics and logic model analysis. The study collects and analyzes information needed for guiding public and private decisions in domestic fish market development. A 1994 survey interviewed a sample of 130...
En vertu du principe de préservation des stocks naturels et au delà, de la viabilité d'une industrie des pêches, l'attention des pouvoirs publics est, à l'heure actuelle, essentiellement portée sur la diminution des capacités de production[1]. Une mesure globale de ces capacités de production mises en oeuvre pour la capture...
Certaines populations marines, de par leur capacité à réaliser des déplacements de grande envergure, marquent leur distribution spatiale d'une forte variabilité; Celle ci s'inscrit souvent dans un cycle saisonnier avec une reproductibilité interannuelle. Ces déplacements sont liés soit à une migration saisonnière entre plusieurs aires, soit à une concentration saisonnière...
Japan is the number 1 country in the world in terms of tuna harvest[1]. For example, it started from about 294,961 tons in 1975, then reached its peak at 371,103 tons in 1985. Although the harvest declined since 1985, it bounced back for the recent years and reached 343,611 tons...
As a Member State of the European Community (EC), the United Kingdom's marine capture fisheries must be managed within the framework of the Community's common fisheries policy (see Box 1). Since 1983 this has included a system of annual total allowable catches (TACs) for most commercially important stocks within the...
El Archipielago de Colon, more commonly known as the Galapagos Islands, is a province of Ecuador located about 600 miles off the coast of South America. It consists of approximately 45 volcanic islands (15 major and 30 minor) plus scores of smaller islets and rocks. The total land area is...
La pêche côtière au Maroc a connu un essor remarquable ces dernières décennies, poussant là où les ports se créent et se développent sur la côte atlantique. D'abord concentrée a proximité du port de SAF où les débarquements ne dépassaient pas 60.000 tonnes dans les années quarante, l'activité de la...
In this paper, we study the short run price dynamics of imported fresh, farmed Atlantic and Pacific salmon on US regional markets. An Error Correction framework is used to specify a short run model. The results show a substitute relationship among the different salmon species in that an adjustment process...
