The past twenty years has seen the offshore outsourcing of post-harvest
fish processing gain unprecedented momentum. The growth in offshore
processing is a further stage in an increasingly globalised fisheries value
chain. Raw material is head and gutted, then frozen, and transported to
processing sites in Asia (especially China). The...
We estimated the economic rent obtained currently (that is, in 2002) in the Namibian hake fishery and the rent that might potentially be obtainable if the fishery were managed optimally in the sense of economics. We first reviewed previous economic and biological studies. We then used the theory and model...
The shrimp culture industry has been progressing steadily in many countries during the past decade due to its potential economic value. beside the progress of culture, considerable research finding was implemented to formulate diets, whereas, studies on the contribution of natural diets to shrimp growth in earthen ponds are still...
In the market development of sustainable seafood, such as MSC-certified products, the Japanese market is one of
the most important markets if measured by size: it is the largest seafood importer and the second largest
consumer in the world, after China. However, little research has been done on Japanese consumer...
Effects of age, period and birth cohort on consumption of fat fish, lean fish and processed fish were estimated based on panel data from the Norwegian Women and Seafood Consumption Study (NOWAC). Cohorts selected for the present analysis were women born between 1951 and 1966. Survey questionnaires were mailed to...

The fish markets in Finland were formerly protected from international competition. The markets were gradually
opened to free competition in the 1990s due to the EEA agreement and EU membership. As a consequence, the importation of fresh salmon from Norway rapidly increased, and imported salmon captured the markets from domestic...
Freshwater fish species and Baltic salmon are important to small-scale fisheries in Finland and Sweden.
The formerly local markets for these species have expanded as the food trade has been opened up
to international competition. In this study we use cointegration analysis to test the spatial integration of
freshwater fish...
While overfishing frequently is explained in terms of «the Tragedy of the
Commons» model, it is argued that the economic causes of such long-run resource problems could be more accurately characterised in terms of a «Tragedy of High Prices» due to landings prices exceeding fishing costs at
the socially optimal...
This paper is a case study of the interrelationship between public policy and species decline in the oyster industry of Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, in the late 19th century, with some attention paid to the first decade of the 20th century. It examines the nature of the many regulatory shifts...
The fish market in Finland has changed dramatically since the removal of trade barriers to the importation of fresh salmon in 1993. Imported salmon has rapidly captured markets from domestically produced salmon trout. Another clear trend has been increased concentration at the wholesale and retail level, which in turn has...
Managing fisheries resources according to an ecosystem approach is an idea that emerged from science and ecology and has now found its way into the international regulation of regional and high seas fisheries. Several fisheries agreements now impose an obligation on states to consider the protection of marine ecosystems. The...
Attitudes towards production processes increased their importance over food purchase decissions in recent years. This paper aims to test which factors mainly affects attitudes towards aquaculture. Factors are classified into three groups: demographic, situational, and personal and marketing infuences. Using consumer survey data, factor analysis techniques were used to obtain...
This paper presents an empirical model of Georges Bank transboundary groundfish fishery, and reports results of a dynamic bioeconomic simulation used to evaluate the consequences of alternative management strategies for the multispecies fishery. Since the distribution of the stocks of the principal groundfish resources involves substantial movement and migration across...
