Creator:: Sumaila, U. Rashid
Abstract:: The objective of this paper is to provide an analysis of the current state of fisheries subsidies worldwide, and how they are likely to affect the sustainability of fisheries. More specifically, I will review previous investigations of global subsidies issues, and give a brief overview of the impact of subsidies...

Abstract:: Achieving economic viability is an important goal when it comes to developing policies for sustainable fisheries management, especially for small-scale fisheries (SSF). SSF are vital for many coastal communities, however, often economically and politically marginalized. Here, we develop and estimate what we denote as ‘basic economic viability’ of SSF, using...

Abstract:: Subsidies can directly support unsustainable fishing practices that harm both ecosystems and long-term social and economic benefits. Globally, fishery subsidies total around US$27 billion, yet their impacts on fishing dynamics are specific to given regions or particular fisheries and fishery subsidies within a nation have markedly different effects when applied...

Creator:: Sumaila, U. Rashid
Abstract:: I first of all sketch a picture of the importance of fisheries to people and argue that our interactions with fish stocks, for the most part, are currently unsustainable. Next, I identify the provision of capacity-enhancing subsidies by governments or what has been described as ‘harmful' or ‘bad' subsidies in the...

Creator:: Harper, Sarah and Sumaila, U. Rashid
Abstract:: Women's contributions to fisheries are often overlooked in fisheries management, economic analyses, and consequently, in policy decisions. Fortunately, women's contributions are gaining recognition despite a lack of quantitative data describing the scope and scale of their participation in the sector. While there are numerous studies describing the role of women...

Abstract:: Many Fraser River sockeye salmon stocks show large cycles in abundance from year to year, but the causes of these cycles are not clear. As a result, these stocks have historically been managed under the hypothesis of cyclic dominance, i.e., maintaining the cyclic behaviour of the stocks. Biological studies and...

Creator:: Gasalla, Maria A., Rodrigues, Amanda R., Duarte, Luis F. A., and Sumaila, U. Rashid
Abstract:: A comparative multi-fleet rationale of socioeconomic indicators is described aiming a potential incorporation into fishery management advice at an ecosystem scale. A set of performance indicators, based on a survey of different industrial fishing fleets in São Paulo (SE Brazil) which investigated investment, fixed, effort, labour and sailingrelated costs and...

Creator:: Clark, Colin, Munro, Gordon, and Sumaila, U. Rashid
Abstract:: A debate is emerging over the extent to which privatization of fishery resources – private ownership and resource management without significant state oversight- is practical and socially desirable. What we term the “optimists” maintain that there are no effective limits to privatization and that the decades old fear that privatization...

Creator:: Marsden, A. Dale and Sumaila, U. Rashid
Abstract:: We estimated the economic rent obtained currently (that is, in 2002) in the Namibian hake fishery and the rent that might potentially be obtainable if the fishery were managed optimally in the sense of economics. We first reviewed previous economic and biological studies. We then used the theory and model...

Creator:: Bailey, Megan and Sumaila, U. Rashid
Abstract:: Collaborative management is essential in fisheries with multiple users, where different fishing groups compete to exploit a shared stock, often using unsustainable practices. This is the case in the Coral Triangle, an ecosystem increasingly coveted by conservation organizations for its high biodiversity, and heavily exploited by fishing groups from the...
