Climate Change: Implication on Aquatic Resources, Food Security and Livelihoods

Creator:: Badmus, Olanrewaju, Obadiah, F. V., Olaoye, J. O., Yacim, S. E., Laniyi, A. L., and Adedeji, F. A.
Abstract:: Climate changes are growing environmental concerns which are much in the scientific government and public eye at present. The potential impact on aquatic resources and livelihood are immense. From local to global levels, fisheries and aquaculture play important roles for food supply, food security and income generation. Some 43.5 million...

The Relevance of Indigenous Knowledge to Contemporary Sustainability

Creator:: Ford, Jesse
Abstract:: The subject of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is currently attracting interest from many quarters, including biologists and philosophers as well as the more traditional mix of anthropologists and other social scientists. Given rapid contemporary rates of change, as well as the novel species and environments being created by six billion...

The Impact of Noisy Catch Data on Estimates of Efficient Output Derived from DEA and Stochastic Frontier Models: A Monte Carlo Comparison

Creator:: Lee, S. Todd and Holland, Daniel
Abstract:: There is currently much national and international interest in measuring commercial fishing capacity. Two quantitative methods that will likely be used for this purpose are data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier (SF) production functions. Although both methods can be used to estimate a production frontier, their underlying assumptions and...

Evaluating Livelihood Strategies and the Role of Inland Fisheries in Rural Development and Poverty Alleviation: The Case of the Yaéré Floodplain in North Cameroon

Creator:: Béné, Christophe, Mindjimba, Koané, Belal, Emma, and Jolley, Tom
Abstract:: It is usually assumed that most, if not all, small scale fishing communities, particularly in tropical countries, represents the poorest and most disadvantaged part of rural societies. As a result, these populations have been targeted for poverty alleviation by fisheries development programmes since the early 60's. Unfortunately many of these...

Fluctuating Fisheries in Africa's Inland Waters: Well Adapted Livelihoods, Maladapted Management

Creator:: Sarch, Marie-Therese and Allison, Edward H.
Abstract:: This paper evaluates evidence that fish stocks in Africa's inland waters are climate-driven and cannot be stabilized by conventional fisheries management measures. We draw on published material and our own recent and on-going research in Lake Chad and the East African Great Lakes area to propose that fisherfolk's livelihood strategies...

Toward a Positive Feedback between Fish Abundance and Dense Forest to Enhance Biodiversity: Responsible Fisheries from a Viewpoint of Nutrient Cycling

Creator:: Murota, Takeshi
Abstract:: Traditionally, fish has been considered as an item for direct or indirect human use (food, fertilizer, fishmeal and so on). Recently increasing number of studies on anadromous salmon in North America and Japan, however, suggest that fish could also support biodiversity. Marine-derived nutrients (MDN) are important contributors to maintain or...

Modelling adoption of rice-fish systems with fuzzy logic

Creator:: Bosma, Roel, Dang Kieu, Nhan, Udo, Henk, and Kaymak, Uzay
Abstract:: Most current models analyzing technology adoption are based on a function that assumes farmers make decisions upon utility maximization but ignores cultural or social factors. The traditional production systems of the Mekong Delta were based on floating rice varieties and fish harvested both from rivers and rice fields. Since 1980...

Small Scale Fisheries Analysis in A Sustainable Development Perspective

Creator:: Laloë, Francis, Bodiguel, Clotilde, Brenier, Ambroise, David, Gilbert, Chaboud, Christian, Charles-Dominique, Emmanuel, Ferraris, Jocelyne, Fréon, Pierre, Leopold, Marc, Mahafina, Jamal, Morand, Pierre, Rey-Valette, Hélène, Thiao, Djiga, and Voisin, Sylvestre
Abstract:: 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...

Assessing Vulnerability to Poverty in Fishing Communities

Creator:: Béné, Christophe
Abstract:: In this paper we develop an index of economic vulnerability which we use conjointly with a more conventional measure of income poverty to explore the different dimensions of poverty (transient, chronic, vulnerability) that affect fishing communities in developing countries. We illustrate the potential uses of this method with cross-sectoral data...

The Role of Game Theory in Fisheries Economics: From Nonexistent to Indispensable

Creator:: Grøenbæk, Lone, Lindroos, Marko, Munro, Gordon, and Pintassilgo, Pedro
Abstract:: This paper is designed to “set the stage” for the Special Session on Game Theory and Fisheries. It traces the origins of the application of game theory to fisheries economics, noting that, for the first quarter of a century after the publication of H. Scott Gordon’s 1954 seminal article, the...
