  • Gender Matters: Place Located Indigenous Knowledge: Finding the Value of Per Capita Earth Resource Consumption Necessary for Human Sustainability

    Creator:
    Alexander, William M.
    Abstract:
    Indigenous knowledge (creation of human well-being with a modicum of Earth resources) in India was augmented in the twentieth century with new technologies. The new technologies have raised Indian well-being, but these improvements has been insufficient to motivate Indians to choose families small enough to achieve human sustainability.

    In “Landing fees vs. harvest quotas with uncertain fish stocks”, Martin Weitzman maintains that the conventional view among both fisheries economists and fisheries managers is that “prices” are inferior to “quantities” as instruments for regulating the fishing industry. Weitzman takes the opposite position, appealing to two well-established ideas in economics:...

  • Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Coronary Heart Disease Prevention

    Creator:
    Harris, William S.
    Abstract:
    The evidence for a protective role of omega 3 fatty acids in CHD is becoming clearer and firmer, especially for secondary prevention. Intakes of approximately 800-1,000 mg per day appear to be a prudent approach for the latter group of patients. The safety of intakes of up to 3,000 mg...

  • Is There Hope for Fisheries Management?

    Creator:
    Schrank, William E.
    Abstract:
    Fisheries is not the only discipline where models have been used in attempts to fine tune an aspect of the economy.

  • Does Women’s Empowerment have Economic Benefits?

    Creator:
    Williams, Meryl
    Abstract:
    Gender inequalities pervade aquaculture and fisheries. Participation is marked by strong gendered divisions of labour, and sector policy is gender-blind even though sociological and ethnographic studies show that policy impacts are highly gendered. In projects concerned with economic development, the main approach taken to address inequalities is to “empower women,”...
