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...
This is a study on economic implications of the 3 year harvest control rule (HCR) for the Northeast Arctic
cod stock, decided in November 2002 by the Joint Norwegian-Russian Fisheries Commission. Outcomes
of this rule are compared to those of five other rules, including the previous one based on a...
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...
This paper demonstrates analytically how a nature reserve may protect the total population, realize maximum sustainable yield (MSY), maximum economic yield (MEY) and consumer surplus (CS) and how this depends on biological growth, migration, reserve size and economic parameters. The pre-reserve population is assumed to follow the logistic growth law...
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...
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. However, management recommendations are usually not based...
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...
This paper investigates interactions between recreational and commercial fisheries. It introduces the idea of a protected area for recreational fisheries, as a way to reduce conflicts between the two sectors and to preserve the natural resource. It is demonstrated that without a protected area for recreational fisheries, open access may...
To ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable use of straddling fish stocks, the 1995 United
Nations Fish Stock Agreement calls for the establishment of regional fisheries management organizations
to manage such stocks. This paper studies the potential for cooperation in straddling stock fisheries when
the cooperative coalition of countries acts...
Vietnam’s policy is to shift the fishing pressure from onshore to offshore water since the coastal resource has been overexploited, and a programme for investing in offshore vessels has thus been implemented since 1997. The question raised is whether the offshore fishing fleet is profitable and efficient or not? This...
