On the background of the abolishment of traditional subsidies this paper discusses the persistency of the major remaining subsidy scheme in Norwegian fisheries: exemption from fuel taxes. The reimbursement scheme stems from the late 1980s, and has been persistent since, under different governments. This paper gives the background for this...
This study analyzes the determinants of the choice of remuneration systems and examines their influence on the economic performance of fisheries. The purse seine fisheries in Khanh Hoa province, Vietnam, are used as the study case, with data collected from 162 fishing households in 2005 and 2008. The principal‚ agent...
The debate about whether international trade actually benefits for resource and all stakeholders in the chain is still unsettled. Even the benefits of international trade were addressed in some articles, the question about which signals for policy makers intervene in the market is still being raised. This paper attempts to...
Assuming a broad set of management goals, we analyze the implementation of a marine protected area (MPA) together with open access by applying a bioeconomic model that ensures unchanged growth post-MPA. Taking into account that conservation and restoration, food security, employment and social surplus are amongst the objectives that many...
Economic performance indicators are needed in order to improve fisheries policy in Vietnam. The
research project “Revenues and Costs of Fishing Vessels in the Nha Trang Area” has been established to
meet these needs. A questionnaire about technical characteristics and economic data of vessel and gear
in use in the...
Vietnam’s marine fisheries are in need of knowledge-based management. This necessitates the establishment of
reliable indicators, which in turn entails a good data collecting and processing system. To bridge the gap between
specific requirements for fisheries policy development and the limited resources available, we have conducted a
study on costs...
Fisheries biologists and other marine scientists working closely with the regional fisheries organisations (RFOs), such as the International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES) have developed and applied different concepts and methods, including reference points, for assessment and management of fish stocks.
