This pilot study maps the structural changes in the Icelandic fisheries sector from 1990 to present, from the general to the specific. The background is the radical and substantial changes in the structure of harvesting, production and processing; in the export activities and marketing in Icelandic fisheries. The main characteristics...
Climate change and climate-induced changes are expected to increase in the future and are likely to cause adverse impacts, especially on aquatic resources and coastal communities, by affecting the productivity and distribution of fish stocks. This will have serious implications on future demand and supply of fish at the global...
After 1950 traditional herring fisheries were revolutionized by a new technique: sonar, power block, larger
nets and bigger boats. As a result all major herring stocks in the North East Atlantic Ocean collapsed. The
most dramatic decline was that of the Atlanto-Scandian stock between Iceland and Norway from millions
of...
Global warming is expected to affect the ecosystem in the Northeast Atlantic, and sufficient changes will also affect
the aquaculture industry. Farming of salmon and trout is the biggest aquaculture industry in Norway. The export
value was about 2 billion US dollars in 2005. The objective of the paper is...
Many international fisheries agreements involve sharing rules. These rules are normally stable rules, not contingent on shifts in the relative distribution or development of the resource. In the latest IPCC report,
the most likely future scenario is an increase in the global mean temperature, and most severely in high
latitudes....
Climate change may cause significant changes in the distribution, abundance, and species mix of commercial fishery resources. In any given area stocks of some species may decline; stocks of other species may increase; and new species may appear in commercially significant volumes. However, it is difficult to predict what specific...
The Coral Triangle Initative is a new initative in environmental ecosystem management which as officially kicked-off by 6 countries in December 2007. The paper reviews the history of the initiative (transboundary international "Peace parks" concept, bringing together other eco-regional initiatives) and points to the direction it is currently taking with...
This paper briefly describes the past development of the Bali Strait small pelagic fishery, and presents the impact of increasing fishing pressure and climatic variable on the quantity of catch. This paper then presents an estimate of its rent potential and the impact of increasing fishing pressure on rent at...
The OSU Government Relations Office provides periodic updates that describe events in Washington, DC and Salem. These updates include insights on how budget and policy decisions at the state and federal level will affect OSU and are issued once or twice a month, depending on the level of activities in...
This paper addresses the impacts of climate change on salmon fishery governance in the Columbia River Basin of the Pacific Northwest U.S. Here the physical and ecological effects of climate change are expected to be significant and to include alterations in freshwater and marine aquatic habitat that will affect the...
