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...
Fishing for the life reef fish has been an important source of economy both at macro level and micro level. At Macro level, life reef fish for food (LRFF) plays a greater role in increasing export revenue since most of the fish are sold in overseas markets such Hong Kong...
As compared to other countries, France has been involved very lately in the discussion about fisheries ecolabelling. Reluctant to adopt the existing ecolabels, the professional organisations, the Ministry of
food, agriculture and fisheries and the European Commission itself tend to create their own label guidelines to take into consideration other...
Our paper aims to study the image of the European fisheries sector, as perceived by European citizens. To
our knowledge, no approach has focused on the perceived impact of fishing on the halieutic resources. More precisely, we seek to analyze the perceived impact on the marine environment of fishing activities...
This paper attempts to determine and analyze the factors affecting the value chain of tuna commodity in the Philippines. It also identifies the key players in the industry, and their roles and contributions in the value chain. The paper will utilize both primary and secondary data in the analysis. Secondary...
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...
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...
The hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha) fishery is by far the largest single species fishery in Bangladesh. In this paper, a simple bio-economic year-class based model is developed to describe the fishery and examine its properties. With the help of this model, the optimum sustainable yield of the fishery is calculated...
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...
