Within the French fish farming sector, both in the freshwater sector (trout, carps) and in the marine sector (seabass, seabream, turbot), during the last years have emerged a number of quality schemes. These quality schemes show various forms (national charters with third part certification, standard, official quality labels, private certification,...
In this paper, the estimate of the productive efficiency for some Italian fleet segments is proposed. The estimate is based on a Stochastic Frontier Production (SFP) function and a Data Envelopment Analysis frontier (DEA) using micro data of fishing vessels. The essential random nature of the fishing processes under consideration...
In the institutional framework of fishery management in Japan, which can be seen as a Co-Management system, fishermen's agreements are prerequisites for implementation of resource management measures. However, because of uncertainties in the effect of management measures, fishermen's agreements are difficult to obtain. This study applied a decision-making method under...
This paper presents an empirical model of Georges Bank transboundary groundfish fishery, and reports results of a dynamic bioeconomic simulation used to evaluate the consequences of alternative management strategies for the multispecies fishery. Since the distribution of the stocks of the principal groundfish resources involves substantial movement and migration across...
Fisheries management is a problematic issue for many states. It is complex and among its constituents governmental policy plays a decisive role. Fisheries management is a big political issue for Russia. Russian fishing industry is in a disastrous state. The Russian government speaks a lot about food security and develops...
For more than 1300 years, local resource users have been the principal decision makers of fishery resource management in the Japanese institutional framework. After the 2nd W.W., in order to democratize the fishery industry, dramatic institutional reform was carried out under Allied Occupation, and the Current Fishery Law was enacted...
This paper contends that stakeholders represent New Zealand fisheries through a sustainable fisheries imaginary. Stakeholders use the imaginary to legitimise sustainable utilisation. The imaginary is built using a series of calculative practices that constitute a measurement system (or metrology), that shape regimes of control. This imaginary is made manifest through...
This paper examines the constitution of 'sustainable management' within the context of the New Zealand marine environment. Firstly this paper examines the difference between 'sustainable ecosystems' and 'sustainable utilisation'. The distinction is important if we are to make sense of the different ways in which various stakeholders (fishers, fisheries companies,...
This paper is intended to examine and discuss in what way output control, one of the fisheries management measures, is effective in reducing over-capacity, and can become an effective means towards sustainable management of living marine resources. It was made clear theoretically and empirically that output control is applicable as...
Game and experimental theorists have specified the conditions under which different auction systems may lead to distinct price levels. By changing the sales organisation, the introduction of electronic auction systems on first-hand fish markets is expected to have modified bidders' habits, hence affecting the price levels. A demand model based...
Japanese salmon fishery is facing a juncture of existence and pressed for the improvement of constitution. The decline of high-seas salmon fisheries was taken and the import amount increased rapidly. In addition, domestic production by coastal set net fisheries has increased with a success of salmon enhancement in Japan. Salmon...
Recreational fishing is a compound activity that includes the expectancy and catching of fish. The Australian national recreational fishing survey provides catch and economic data for this activity for the 12 months May 2000 to April 2001. In addition to catch behavioral data, the survey provides economic data for that...
Fisheries profiles (Marine capture fishery profiles) are considered one of basis for undertaking adaptive fisheries management in Vietnam. The use of fishery profiles is also seen as a way to ensure a multidisciplinary approach to fisheries management research activities. Fishery profiles are a compilation of information on the fishing and...
Whale meat has been one of traditional diets in Japan. However whaling is now prohibited except for the purpose of scientific research. Therefore it is important to keep an eye on poaching and to make distribution routes clear to obtain an international credibility. Then it is highly required to build...

However, several issues relating to shrimp-aquaculture such as, risk and uncertainty of investment in shrimp culture, the issues...
Marine reserves have increasingly been recognised for their potential to address the pervasive problem of unsustainable harvest of fisheries worldwide. Abalone catch around Stewart Island has been in decline since the turn of the century despite being managed under NZ's quota system. A nested logit model is applied to spatially...
BEMMFISH is conceptualised as a bio-economic model for non-industrial/artisanal fisheries, allowing for multi-species dynamics and multi-fleet dynamics, where the control variable is effort (not the catch). The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the simulation part of the BEMMFISH model and to focus on the most...
Access restrictions to traditionally-used resources, that are associated with the establishment of marine protected areas (MPA), often generate conflicts. Public participation in decision-making process has been widely recognised as a critical factor in legitimising conservation policy and enhancing its success. This paper discusses fishers involvement issues in the context of...
Quota management systems (QMS) provide faith-based incentives for individual quota holders to conserve the resource voluntarily; quota holders expect the system to work and to be enforced and their expectations are usually realized despite imperfect incentives and significant enforcement burdens. Even with QMS there is never an individual incentive to...
Research on omega-3 fatty acids of marine origin consistently indicates the value of these substances to human health, while seafood processors face the challenge of creating value-added products rich in omega-3 compounds that consumers identify as being both healthful and tasty. In particular, albacore tuna is considered to have large...
The British Columbia Seafood industry has witnessed fundamental and unprecedented changes to its business environment since the early 1990's.

It is well known that Japanese fishery management regime utilizes fishery cooperatives, called Fishery Cooperative Associations (FCAs), which they are granted territorial user rights (called common fishing...
This paper analyzes the behavior of fishing households under individual transferable quotas (ITQ) system based on Singh, Squire and Strauss household model. ITQ system is sought to be the optimal fishery management regime in terms of economic efficiency. However, preceding theoretical analyses only considered implementing ITQ to a well established...
Theory suggests that fishing effort would be allocated among various fishing grounds such that profit levels would be equal. Homogeneity among fishers as well as perfect information is assumed and profits are opportunistically increased by changing fishing locations. These assumptions have been shown empirically ins some single fisheries where fishers...
Atlantic Sea scallops have historically supported the second most valuable fishery in the northeastern United States. Intense fishing pressure during the early 1990s led to drastic decreases in population biomass and commercial landings. Total harvest, which exceeded 17,000 metric tons (MT) in 1990, declined to around 7,300 MT in 1993....
As world farmed salmon production has grown, so has the intensity of the debate over salmon farming. Critics have characterized salmon farming as environmentally, economically and socially unsound and irresponsible. This paper argues that underlying much of the salmon farming debate is a far broader debate over many of the...
It is well known that world production of shrimp, particularly farm-raised product, has increased significantly since the early-to-mid 1980's and that much of the product is directed to the U.S. market. Less well known is the fact that the product composition of the U.S. imported product (e.g., headless shell-on, peeled)...
The Japanese system of local management has been heralded as a successful system for managing coastal resources. Despite such general success, however, fishing cooperatives and their respective members currently face internal and external pressures from over-fishing, pollution, and life in an industrialized society. Further, the Japanese government has pushed for...
Thailand is the biggest shrimp producer in the world. Thai shrimp from aquaculture reached 280,000 tons in 2001, which accounted for about 33% of the total global shrimp aquaculture production. Detection of residues of banned chemicals in shrimp imported to Europe from Asia starting from 2002 was perceived as a...
Scallop fisheries are often characterized by variable abundance and periodic mass mortality occurrences. Area rotation is a respected management tool for sedentary species. A bioeconomic simulation model that incorporates the spatial and temporal distribution of scallop beds and fishing effort is presented. The model is user-friendly and was designed for...
Economists and biologists have recognized that spatial and temporal area-closures may provide an effective means of managing the impact that fisheries have on one another and upon threatened species. To date, however, little work has been done to estimate the economic impact of protected areas on commercial fishing. One significant...
Technologies that enable traceability for fishery products are increasing their demands. Recently proposed technologies are mainly based on disposal RF(IC) tags which are able to record information directly onto them. However, the current systems based on RF tags have problems of expensive price of tags, and weakness of reading information...
This paper studies the economic consequences of the invasion of a coastal fishery (Bay of Brest) by an exotic species (Crepidula fornicata) which was accidentally imported some decades ago. This species is a space competitor for the main targeted species of the fishery (Pecten maximus), and its development is a...
A general way to collect quantitative data on consumer's opinions is to conduct a survey. One basic qualification in a survey research is that the contents of the questions should have the same meaning to all the respondents. However, respondents different interpretations of the same meaning to all the respondents....

The fishing capacity issue has lately received considerable global attention. The application of an embracing structural policy in the European Union (EU) during the 1980s and 90s has indicated the desire of fisheries managers and administrators to rebalance the level of capacity of fishing fleets with resource availability. A previous...
The industrial structure of British Columbia salmon processing is dominated by cycles of expansion and consolidation. This paper examines one of these cycles, the reasons for it, and its implications. The cycle starts with a consolidation of processors. The resulting increased industry profits encourages new firms to enter the industry...
Long-term climate regime shifts have profound and persistent impacts on ocean temperature and circulation patterns, and on the dynamics of marine fish populations -- affecting abundance, growth and migratory behavior. Such shifts are a particularly important source of uncertainty for marine fisheries. Here, we argue that climate regime shifts can...
The objective of this paper is to illustrate that economic institutions matter, i.e., that different rules of trade present different incentives for bidding, asking and trading in new markets, and that these different incentives lead to different price discovery patterns which yield materially different outcomes. In a laboratory tradable fishing...
New forms of coordinations adapted to competition changes and new market conditions have recently emerged within the fisheries commercial channel. They redistribute the value added between the various actors and also bear significant consequences on fishing practices and resource exploitation. Two main reasons have led to the restructurings: - the...
We focus on problems of access to marine sites for aquaculture in different countries, particularly in Maine, U.S.A. and Canada. The main question examined is how public natural goods (marine space) are allocated for aquaculture activities. Using ideas from law and economics, as well as institutional economics, we looked at...
The coastal management project mainly emphasizes on the taking part of the community regarding the coastal management. But due to the decreasing income of fishery households resulted from resource depletion and limitation of finding the additional income of the fishermen, advocating co-management is not enough to aid fishermen and community...
These three case studies of local fishery policy in Japan examine common causes of a successful fishery policy. This study tries to seek answer on "How did successful cases on Japanese local fishery policy succeed?" To find answer to this question, this study analyzed the relationship and the role of...
Over exploitation of the coastal fisheries resources in Southeast Asia region is the cause of many problems either conflict among the fishermen or depletion of the coastal environment. In order to find out the way to solve those problems, Set-Net fishing was proposed to be used as a kind of...
This paper provides analysis on the current trends for decentralization of fisheries management in Indonesia. In Indonesia, decentralization has been processed by the establishment of Undang-Undang (UU) 22/1999 (local autonomy law), which is a product of the Reform movement to correct the centralism practiced in the New Order or Soeharto...

Therefore, the role of port structures is important for propagation of spear squid. Research on the spawning conditions of spear squids...
Enhancement of British-Columbia-to-Alaska Transboundary Rivers is a vast potential prize to all concerned. However, despite funding commitments in the Pacific Salmon Treaty, that program is at great risk of always being more potential than real. The cooperation needed to make this program work has been and continues to be grievously...
Tasmania's abalone, rock lobster and scalefish fisheries have an annual beach price value of about A$120, A$64 and A$10 million respectively. Whilst small by overseas standards, Tasmania's fishing industry is an important part of this small island State's predominantly rural income, amounting to some 16% of total agricultural production. It...
Fishery managers in the United States are required to identify and limit adverse consequences of fishing on essential fish habitat. We propose a cap-and-trade system for habitat conservation that would utilize economic incentives to achieve habitat conservation goals cost effectively. Individual quotas of habitat impact units (HIU) would be distributed...
With the expansion of transport, increasing car ownership, rapid increase in outbound travel and new interests in nature based eco-tourism, and the adoption of 5 work days, marine eco-tourism is expected to have a very promising future and need more detailed preparation and planning. While marine eco-tourism occupies 30% of...
As discussions of co-management and community-based management have become popular, recent works have paid growing attention to how fishers are involved in fisheries management. Comparing the fisheries management that has been developed in the hard clam fisheries of New Jersey, U.S.A., with those of Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, this paper examines...
Quotas rather than landing fees are widely used for reducing the output of fisheries below open-access levels. One reason may be that quotas are perceived as a more reliable instrument for controlling total catch. However, whilst under certainty fees and quotas can be set each season to achieve the same...
The least well understood aspects of economic development in general are the social aspects, and economic activity around fishing is no exception. Far more research effort is directed to the biology and economics of fisheries than to the cultural, social and political facets of fisheries. Bilateral disputes over fisheries between...

Small scale fisheries accounted for more than 80 percent of the total marine fisheries households in this country. Fisheries had been considered the important source of food, income, employment and...
Recent research has warned that liberalising trade in capture fishery products originating from inefficient managed fisheries might cause over-exploitation, reduced fish stocks and thereby reduced steady state welfare. This paper qualifies the warning in a case study of the East Baltic cod market by introducing a quantitative supply model of...
Fisheries management institutions vary along a continuum from centralized to self-regulation systems. Nowadays, the importance of self-regulation by fishers or co-management by the government and fishers has been emphasized. However, the centralized system is not necessarily inferior to self-regulation. If fishers' voluntary activities are induced by pressure of centralized management...

Individual Transferable Quota systems (ITQ's) were implemented in the Icelandic groundfish fisheries in 1984, or twenty years ago. The system was not a 'pure' ITQ system from the beginning, notably with different regulations for different fleet segments and with several changes along the way. The current system has mostly been...
Human beings are now recognizing that fish are no longer free gifts from the nature and we have to manage it wisely. The current management schemes are more or less based on the allocation of fish by individuals or communities through rules and regulations, resulting in illegal fishing, high MCS...
Cooperatives are considered shield of the weak. In cooperatives, members with limited mean pool their resources and efforts to achieve much, which otherwise they would not have achieved. Cooperatives are democratic organisation and definition of democracy given by Abraham Lincoln fits perfectly 'for the people' 'by the people' 'of the...
A behavioral study on the entry, stay and exit decisions of the fishers in Hawaii's longline fishery was undertaken in a random utility framework by applying the multinomial logit (unordered) model. Pooled annual cross-sectional and time-series (1991-98) data were used. The empirical results confirm that the entry, stay, and exit...
The activity of commercial whaling is contentious, drawing the ire of animal rights and conservation groups who threaten boycotts of whaling nations' products. Whaling also has opportunity costs: in addition to existence value, whales provide nonextractive use values, i.e. whale watching. On the other hand, proponents of whaling argue many...
Poverty reduction and food security are key development concerns articulated through Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs). This paper examines the fisheries sector's participation in these strategies. Adapting Oksanen and Mersmann's (2002) methodology for assessing the status of forestry in Sub-Saharan Africa, we evaluate the fisheries sector's representation in twenty-nine African...
