The Leptobotia curta, known as the Ayumodoki in Japanese, is a Japanese endemic freshwater fish that has been designated as a national treasure since 1977. This fish is, however, categorized as a "critically endangered species" by the Ministry of the Environment's Red Data Book in Japan. While a direct reason...

There is great concern at present that fish stocks are being depleted by over-fishing. Part of the problem of over-fishing is caused by the common property nature of the fishery resources. In particular, high seas fishery resources, such as highly migratory fish stocks (HMFS) and straddling fish stocks, suffer from...
A dynamic game model is used to predict the strategic behavior of harvesters engaged in a non-cooperative fishery on a common property resource. The model predicts that an increase in the current number of harvesters in a common property fishery will reduce both the equilibrium harvest level and the current...
Shrimp farming in Thailand is considered to be one of the main causes of mangrove deforestation. The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, however, posits that economic development eventually reverses resource degradation. This hypothesis is examined using pooled data on mangrove loss and Gross Provincial Product (GPP) from 23 provinces in...
This dissertation contains theoretical and empirical analyses on common property
fisheries resources. The theoretical analysis focuses on a highly migratory fish stocks
(HMFS) fishery, and examines the inefficiency caused by non-cooperative harvest. The
empirical analysis focuses on a high seas fishery and conducts an empirical test on the
effects of...
There is considerable evidence to support the
hypothesis that seafood, poultry and meat are close
substitutes in consumer demand. Thus the relationships
among prices are important in determining consumption
patterns among these protein sources. In addition, there
are at least two kinds of outlets in which seafood, poultry
and meat...
