Vietnam is the peninsular country and lying in the area of monsoon tropical climate therefore has very diversify and abundant and valuable fish resources. Since long time ago the fisheries resources in natural water bodies (as in dams, rivers, lake, canals, sea) have been concerned as common property (and is...

When we observe activities in french Guyana, we look some particular behaviours without references on modern or traditional economic sectors. It's informal behaviours creating disequilibrium. Fishering sector is a good example. We propose an examination as from two perspectives: in one side a productive logic, in the other side a...
Eritreas Coastal Marine and Island area covers more than 121,000km2, include over 350 offshore islands and 1,350km of coastline (18% of the Red Sea continental coastline) not including the islands.

In the Central Delta of the Niger River in Mali, fishers are massively involved in rice farming as secondary activity and many of...
Due to the development, Japan lost more than half of seaweed beds

An international symposium devoted to Research and small-scale fisheries (Durand, Lemoalle, Weber,
1991) in Montpellier (France) in 1989 came from increasing evidence that “the complexity of small scale
fisheries calls for applying knowledge from many fields in combined studies that can take advantage of a
whole range of information”. Has...
Modern fisheries management is strongly based on ecosystem theory. Ecosystem management involves direct manipulation of the habitat and population as well as human activity in order to optimize sustainable returns to humans. The ecosystems approach is widely viewed as a new concept in management of fisheries and aquaculture. Ecosystems based...
