The brief historical occurrence of aquaculture introduces the science that evolved from the early studies on cod propagation in 1864, and the export of these concepts about stock enhancement through protection of early life history stages through what has always been considered the ‘critical periods’ during which the majority of...
The Atlantic deep sea red crab (Chaceon quinquedens) is the target of a small, directed fishery in the Northeast US, which has been managed using total allowable annual catches (TACs) at the fleet level since 2002. Although not a catch share fishery, it shares many of the same features, behaviors,...
Adoption of aquaculture, particularly among the rural poor, requires timely
and quality seed at the farmer level. In areas of Northwest Bangladesh, the
region considered most marginalised for food production, carp polyculture
has been improved through the introduction of Nile tilapia, but constrained
by under-developed seed supply. In order to...
The objective of the paper is to briefly present a comparative analysis of trends in the characteristics of
selected European fleets, observed over the last fifteen years, as an introduction to three empirical studies
of the behavioural determinants of these trends. The analysis presented aims at (i) describing changes
observed...
This paper addresses to a comparative approach of long term changes in the characteristics of marine fisheries at a regional scale, in three ecosystems: up-welling, tropical and temperate. The South Moroccan
continental shelf, under the influence of the Canary current, where up-wellings take place, is the most productive part of...
On 26th December 2004, colossal waves known as tsunami engulfed the coastal nations around the Indian
Ocean. The disaster brought physical, psychological and emotional suffering beyond measure to many
communities. It resulted in immense devastation of many coastal vegetations and marine ecosystems. The
fisheries in the coastal villages in Sri...
Generalised linear estimation and multi-layer perception neural network modelling techniques were applied to the Scottish trawler fleet data in order to estimate which inputs have the greatest impact on boat profits and output. Both produced comparable estimates that revealed inelastic and non-linear response to vessel power and length, negative response...
The purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative index characterization of shrimp farms in Bangladesh, India and Indonesia. There has been considerable work carried out on shrimp farming in South East Asia with emphasis on biology, environmental factors, management and trade issues but much less work on the...
We focus on problems of access to marine sites for aquaculture in different countries, particularly in Maine, U.S.A. and Canada. The main question examined is how public natural goods (marine space) are allocated for aquaculture activities. Using ideas from law and economics, as well as institutional economics, we looked at...
Due to establishment of five international organizations for tuna fisheries, tuna fishing in high seas are consequentially transformed from a time of free competition to a time of cooperative competition on the platforms created by those international organizations. The paper explores the openness, procedures of decision-making, allocation of fishing quotas...
