The aim of this work is to estimate the supply elasticity of the fish regarding the variationsin one of the
most important running costs (fuel cost) for the Galician fleet in the Celtic Sea. The Spanish fleet involved
in the Celtic Sea fishing grounds, also known as the _300 fleet_,...
In recent years, there has been a growing interest of promoting and
rewarding the sustainable management in fisheries and aquaculture using
product differentiation through eco-labelling and organic labeling
respectively. At the same time food safety concerns arise due to the often
food crisis experienced worldwide in the past few years....
With the publication of the NOAA Draft Policy on Catch Shares, which
encourages US Management Councils to adopt Catch Share Programs (yet
another new name for LAPs, ITQs, or IFQs) there will likely be more
deliberations on such programs. With changes mandated in the revised
Magnuson-Stevens Act and the suggestions...
The result of investigation about impact of aquaculture to water environment quality on Nha Phu lagoon (Khanh Hoa province) acknowledged: water environment quality was serious decline because of chemicals no using true, organic waste from shrimp pond, waste water, mud from shrimp pond and agriculture actions, accumulation sediment from mytilus...
In this paper the emphasis is put on an important aspect of renewable resource use that was disregarded until now. It is the evolution of environmental carrying capacity which is traditionally interpreted as a maximal population level that can be supported by the environment (or by habitats of which it...
The deep sea fisheries in Sri Lanka have been in existence since the late 1980s. After 2000 a significant
growth has been experienced in the industry. This has mostly been due to the rapid increase of new
vessels with modern technology and the development of export market opportunities. The Sri...
DOGMATIS is a research project funded by the French Research Agency (ANR, programme ANR-OGM 2007-2010). The transgenic technologies have been applied to fish since more than 20 years now and some strains are at the premarket or market stage in countries outside Europe. In Europe the main risk is a...
Greater awareness of the importance of ecosystem services and ecosystem management has sparked
interest in examining on-the-water location choices of fishermen; however, some studies still rely on selfreporting
due to high costs or governmental restrictions to obtaining GPS and satellite information. Selfreported
data may be inaccurate due to spatial comprehension...
This paper illustrates a case study to identify problems and actions to build the basis for an integrated fishery management plan, considering stakeholders participation. The application was made on the southern complex multispecies groundfish fishery, where operate various scales of production under a right-based fishing system. A multimethological approach (Mingers,...
This paper deals with risk and uncertainties that are an inherent part of
designing and implementing fisheries rebuilding plans. Such risk and
uncertainties stem from a variety of sources, biological, economic and/or
political factors, and are influenced by external factors like changing
environmental conditions. The aim of this paper is...
The impact of technological adoption on economic growth is a critical issue for economic policy in the developing world. The issue is further compounded for industries exploiting renewable common resources with ill-structured property rights, because greater efficiency increases pressure on the resource stock. The paper analyzes the effect of adoption...
Catfishes are the most popularly raised and consumed fish species in Nigeria. Given changes in the dynamics of the aquaculture sector, this paper estimated technical efficiency and factors contributing to it using data collected from 108 farmers stocking catfish in earthen ponds in the study area. Catfish aquaculture was found...
To analyse and project the impact of structural, technological and political changes on food production, the Mexican Government, through the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA), is undertaking the analysis of typical production units TPU in the agricultural and livestock sectors, by means of adapting simulation...
In many developing countries the fisheries and aquaculture sector is a vital
source of food, foreign exchange earnings and employment. We examine
the concept of fishery dependency and develop indicators that capture its
multi-dimensional meaning at the national level. These indicators allow
both the development of national dependency profiles as...
The literature on ITQs as a fishery management tool predominantly
assumes that all input prices are parametric. In many if not most fisheries,
however, fishing crews are paid a share of the profits. The paper explores
the efficiency of ITQ markets when crews are remunerated under a share
system. Efficiency...
We combine information from several global fisheries databases including
those from the Sea Around Us Project (www.seaaroundus.org) and the
Fisheries Economics Research Unit (http://feru.org) to project the future
potential gains in human welfare under the assumption that (i) global
fisheries continue the current declining trend observed over the last several...
With the decline of main predators whose habitat is confined to continental platforms, the growth in fishing demand and new technologies has caused the expansion of fisheries towards areas which are increasingly deeper. Globally, the quantification and evolution of catches worldwide as well the expansion of deep-sea fisheries have been...
This paper presents an analysis of the collapse of the European anchovy fishery (engraulis) in the Bay of Biscay. The analysis shows that this crisis is a clear expression of general troubles facing the CFP and its an applied case of deliberations that are analysed in the Green Paper. In...
