The credit crunch has had a dramatic effect within the seafood industry. Recent years saw a buoyant UK economy with increasing sales of chilled seafood material and a growing interest in sustainability. Credit tightening and declining consumer confidence has placed pressures on these trends. This is unlikely to be reversed...
Small-scale shrimp farmers have contributed significantly to the increasing of shrimp production in Indonesia. In line with increasing production, they have also faced with various risks, thus resulting in high fluctuation of their income. Risk management strategies are needed to cope the risks and to increase their sustainability in shrimp...

The main objectives assigned to ecosystemic indices are to fuel the debate on the best ways to reduce the impact of global warming. Fishing activities are also concerned with the debate. The assessments carried out about fish products show that the use of fuel in the fishing stage has the...
In furtherance to the on-going studies on what is responsible for the fatty acid composition of the most widely cultured fish (Clarias gariepinus) in Nigeria, this work see to evaluate the comparative study of the cage cultured and captured catfish in brackish water of Ibeju-lekki area of Lagos State. Nigeria....
The role of aquaculture industry is becoming more prominent in order to supplement marine capture in meeting the food need of the growing population. In an attempt to minimize depletion of marine fisheries only traditional vessels are allowed to fish along the coastal area while bigger vessels are regulated to...
"Fish consumption twice per week" recommendation has been adopted in many countries, including Iran, by Nutrition experts. Data derived from food balance sheets (FBSs) and national household food consumption surveys (NHFCSs) show that fish consumption has been increased in the last 20 years in Iran. The gap between supply and...
Due to the development, Japan lost more than half of seaweed beds
because of reclamations, water brake constructions and water pollution
after the WWII. As a result, coastal fisheries production decreased from 2
million metric tons to 1.5 million metric tons. Building a forest in the sea
has been paid...
This paper addressed the budgeting analysis of catfish marketing in Ondo
State. The catfish sellers were interviewed from the market with the aid of
structured questionnaire and personal interviews. Data were collected using
simple random sampling technique from fifty (50) marketers. The data
collected were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, profitability...
Because of their new independent status as young adults, undergraduate college students are at a crucial point in the development of significant health behaviors, especially as related to physical activity. Unfortunately, in the United States, there is clear evidence that the lifestyle choices college students make are not always healthy...
Proceedings of Visible Possibilities: The Economics of Sustainable Fisheries, Aquaculture and Seafood Trade, the 16th Biennial Conference of the International Institute of Fisheries Economics & Trade, held July 16-20, 2012 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Known events occur in life that are associated with steep drop-offs in physical activity behavior. One such event is the transitional period between late adolescence and early adulthood, particularly the completion of high school and start of college or university. The reduction associated with this transition has been reported to...
The Maya of Mexico and Central America pursue multiple livelihood approaches, relying primarily on natural resources obtained from the rainforest. Fishing in the many water bodies of the region is one among many livelihood opportunities, but its relative importance has not been assessed previously. Indeed, there remains an overall lack...
Studies on poverty have focused predominantly on low income and food poverty. Little or no attention has been given to the emerging problem of adequate calorie intake accompanied by low micronutrient levels, particularly in diets of rural households in transition and developing economies. Micronutrient deficiencies are related to child mortality,...
The artisanal fishing sector is very active in Senegal, providing 75% of total catch and major contributions to food supply, employment and exports. Artisanal fishing is spread along the coastline and involves different groups of migrants or sedentary fishermen using various fishing gears and techniques. Resources are heavily exploited and...
The Aquaculture & Fisheries Collaborative Research Support Program (AquaFish CRSP), headquartered at Oregon State University, brings together resources from US and Host Country institutions to promote sustainable solutions in aquaculture and fisheries. Through integrated, multidisciplinary partnerships, the program aims to increase aquaculture productivity, enhance environmental stewardship, address gender integration, and...
The paper adopts the double-bootstrap data envelopment analysis developed by Simar and Wilson in 2007 to estimate and explain technical efficiency of white-leg shrimp farming in Ninh Thuan, Vietnam. This procedure not only enables consistent inference within models explaining efficiency scores but also produces confidence intervals for these efficiency scores....
The study examined Fish Value Chain (FVC) in Yola area of Adamawa state, Nigeria. Primary data were collected using questionnaire and were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that female dominate the fish marketing and processing nodes with 79% and 62% respectively while male (77%) dominate the...
The Leptobotia curta, known as the Ayumodoki in Japanese, is a Japanese endemic freshwater fish that has been designated as a national treasure since 1977. This fish is, however, categorized as a "critically endangered species" by the Ministry of the Environment's Red Data Book in Japan. While a direct reason...
Among scientists & fishermen: flagship relationships of a science/society
contract. What we can learn from the French public dialogue Grenelle de la
mer and how multi-agent simulations can be useful.
As a consequence of the French dialogue process entitled Grenelle de
l'environnement, Non-governmental organization access to public scientific
expertise and...
Marine conservation measures such as moratoriums challenge the economics of fisheries. Efficiency of moratoriums depends on the acceptation by fisheries of such conservation measures. If the measure is unaccepted by fisheries the moratorium is not respected which leads the stock to extinction. The purpose of this article is to identify...
Over 11 % of total population engaged in fisheries and aquaculture and out of them about 10% is women in Bangladesh (DOF, 2013). Thus, women make essential contributions to local food security and in many cases; they take part in the commercially fishing production and trading too. There are pervasive...

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...
There is a consensus in the scientific community that overexploitation of most fisheries worldwide has had significant negative effects on coastal marine ecosystems, and the majority of assessed fish stocks still require rebuilding programs. Almost all of the scientific studies conducted in recent decades have focused primarily on analysis related...
