The 2010 Annual Economic Report (AER) on the European Union (EU)
fishing fleet, due for publication in the summer of 2010, will provide the
most comprehensive overview to date on the structure and economic
performance of the EU Member States fishing fleets.
For the first time, the data used to...
Vietnam’s policy is to shift the fishing pressure from onshore to offshore water since the coastal resource has been overexploited, and a programme for investing in offshore vessels has thus been implemented since 1997. The question raised is whether the offshore fishing fleet is profitable and efficient or not? This...
Aquaculture and fisheries are essential resources for the agri-food
production of the north Adriatic coast. In particular mussels farms occupy a
large area of the gulf of Trieste. A total of 16 producers, working in small
cooperatives or individually, utilize 30 vessels on the 15 km of mussels
long-line along...
The spatial distribution of Norwegian salmon farming depends on license
allocation and physical conditions, with politicians defining the former.
Currently, relocalization of these is not permitted. With an expected
temperature increase in Norwegian waters, this study analyzes increased
temperatures impact on the spatial distribution of production and
employment. Four scenarios...
Production in the aquaculture sector is often associated with pollution and as being harmful to the environment. Trying to change that reputation and stimulate growth, a new more environmental friendly method of production has been developed and introduced in Danish fresh water trout farms. The purpose of this paper is...
Many of Australias most valuable fisheries are not appreciated as such and
so have miniscule management budgets. This situation is considered to be
common elsewhere too.
The paper argues this situation needs to be addressed from both scientific
and community perspectives, but is ultimately doomed to fail unless the
political...
In the globalizing era, world trade of fishery resources has sharply
increased. Because capture fisheries are hard to be managed, growing
opportunity for fishery trade may cause the overexploitation of world
fishery resources. For instance, the theoretical model developed by
Takarada et al (2009, mimeograph) implies that fish stocks may...
Combinations of 7 remarkably similar factors have led to the (partial)
failure of recent efforts to address five global or national crises. The paper
analyzes the global financial crisis, climate change, the US health care
crisis, the blue fin tuna collapse in the Atlantic Ocean and the collapse of
fish...
The article provides policy guiding recommendations for enhancing the sustainable development of Senegal’s marine fishery system. A new sustainable development assessment method is proposed and is applied to Senegal’s marine fishery in order to provide these recommendations.
A discussion of the conditions for sustainable development suggest that the sustainable development...
