During 1986-2006, fisheries in Tonkin Gulf had made rapid development. Total engine power increased 11.6 times while total catch only increased 2.9 times. Big increase in number of fishing boats has resulted to the overexploitation in near shore waters since 1995 and this situation has been spread out all over...
This paper explores some theoretical and practical issues in developing policy for the management of shared fisheries for maximum value. Maximisation of value from the use of resources is a key component of sustainability, and transferable rights in commercial fisheries management have contributed significantly toward this goal. Maximising value becomes...
Capture-based aquaculture (CBA) is an industry that utilizes wild-captured specimens as stocking animals for ongrowing or storage. This yields an intriguing direct link between capture fisheries and aquaculture of these resources. Examples of CBA are collection of early life stages of many crustaceans and adolescent tunas for grow-out in aquaculture...

The role of market incentives in supporting the move towards sustainable seafood production is increasingly being demonstrated in the real world although the level of documentation is relatively poor. Market demand is strongest in western Europe where the greatest effort has been made by organisations such as the MSC to...
The sustainable yield function is a favoured tool in fisheries policy making. Normally, this function is drawn as a continuous curve in effort-yield space. This means that sustainable yield (harvest) is gradually reduced to zero as fishing effort increases. This, however, does not have to be the case. The sustainable...
Norway is probably among the most obvious beneficiaries of globalisation, mainly because of the rich natural resources, skilled labour, advanced technology products and strong institutions. The fishing industry has been on the forefront in adjusting to new challenges and seeking the potential gains of economic integration, liberalisation and deregulation. The...
