The fish markets in Finland were formerly protected from international competition. The markets were gradually
opened to free competition in the 1990s due to the EEA agreement and EU membership. As a consequence, the importation of fresh salmon from Norway rapidly increased, and imported salmon captured the markets from domestic...
Using a general equilibrium model that has a resource (fisheries) sector and that incorporates subsistence consumption into consumer preferences, we examine the costs and benefits of participating in international trade. In some cases income transfers may permit potential, but otherwise unachievable, gains from trade to occur.
A recent study in agricultural products has brought out evidence of asymmetrical transmission of price changes according to the sign (positive or negative) of past variation. Interestingly, asymmetry was more commonplace for products with a lower elasticity of supply due to the perishable nature of products. A similar study based...
Fish are marketed with various intermediaries between producers and final consumers. The number and the nature of the intermediaries, market structures at each stage of the value chain and other factors related to the organisation of markets may substantially affect the transmission of information throughout the chain. The present study...
In 1996 the 1 billion US dollar Norwegian salmon industry was accused for dumping and for having received subsidies in the infant phase of the industry build-up. The accusations were initiated by the Scottish and Irish salmon industry, which regard the Norwegian suppliers as aggressive competitors in their home market....
There is significant interest in self-regulation as an alternative to command and control techniques. (Black 1996) Self-regulation is thought to be more efficient and expert and hence more effective than traditional approaches. Interest in alternative fishing regulatory styles such as self-regulation has been fuelled by the perception that command and...
The supply of raw material to the Norwegian fish processing industry has always fluctuated heavily, both as far as volumes and quality are concerned. These fluctuations have had major impact on planning of for instance product mix and production capacity. Thus, sea farming has been considered a promising alternative source...
Effects of age, period and birth cohort on consumption of fat fish, lean fish and processed fish were estimated based on panel data from the Norwegian Women and Seafood Consumption Study (NOWAC). Cohorts selected for the present analysis were women born between 1951 and 1966. Survey questionnaires were mailed to...
The Norwegian fish processing industry is an old industry and organising of production has been solved by fishing vessels catching fish and selling it fresh directly to processing plants located on shore close to the richest fishing areas. During the last decade an increasing part of the catch has been...
The fish market in Finland has changed dramatically since the removal of trade barriers to the importation of fresh salmon in 1993. Imported salmon has rapidly captured markets from domestically produced salmon trout. Another clear trend has been increased concentration at the wholesale and retail level, which in turn has...
Traditional economic theory states that liberalising trade and moving to freer trade in conventional goods improves global welfare, as well as improving welfare in small countries. It also states that large countries only through the active use of their trade policies can maximise their welfare. However, these results are modified...
After joining the WTO, easier access to Taiwanese market due to tariff reductions and deregulation of import restriction is expected to have substantial impacts on the fishery sector in Taiwan. Comparing to the tariff rates in 2001, the average tariff rates of fishery products will decrease 35.5%, in 2004. Especially,...
Fishery barometer is a follow up survey that measures and analyses simultaneously consumers' and producers' opinions about fish products, fisheries and production environments. The barometer also establishes a platform for a traditional business survey of the economic outlook for fishery enterprises. The fishery barometer aims to collect data that are...
Main research question: How is seafood consumption influenced by overweight and health beliefs in a region of traditional high-level fish consumption? Materials and methods: A randomly drawn sample of women aged 45-69 years who live in Northern Norway answered a self-administrated questionnaire about eating habits, socioeconomic factors and questions related...
The top business management educators consider case teaching to be a highly effective means for building critical decision-making skills in future managers. Although this method holds significant potential, it is not commonly used in fisheries management education and training. The Training Mangers for 21st Century Fisheries Initiative has identified development...
In 2002, the offshore and coastal fisheries only account for 19.9% and 7.3%, respectively, of the total landing value. Since 1978, the offshore harvests follows a downward trend, but the number of fishing vessels, the total vessel tonnage, and the total horsepower of vessels follow an steady increasing trend until...

Traditionally, fish has been considered as an item for direct or indirect human use (food, fertilizer, fishmeal and so on). Recently increasing number of studies on anadromous salmon in North America and Japan, however, suggest that fish could also support biodiversity. Marine-derived nutrients (MDN) are important contributors to maintain or...
The nations of the world confront complex challenges in managing fisheries resources in the 21st century. While attention focuses on the need for new institutional ideas, designing and implementing effect governance may be imperiled by inadequate investment in the human capital needed to lead, innovate, and manage.
