Culture of resilient species to drought and stressed water quality conditions may be a significant part of the future of African aquaculture. Air breathing fishes potentially have a role in low-management culture systems because dissolved oxygen is not a limiting factor. The African lungfish (Protopterus spp) is advantageous because it...
Using three years of weekly ACNielsen Scantrack data, this study aims to estimate the implicit prices of labeling retail finfish and shellfish in the U.S. with harvest-specific information, such as “wild” ‚“Atlantic”‚ “Pacific” or “imported”. Recent concerns for the availability of wild-caught supplies has led to increasing interest for labeling...
While South Africa possesses a well developed marine fishery supported by policy, legislation and appropriate institutions, no inland fisheries policy exists and its potential has not been considered from a development perspective. The transfer of the mandate for fisheries to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has opened a...
Production quotas can restore efficiency in industries characterized by production externalities, such as resource industries and industries with environmental regulations. However, with imperfect quota enforcement, firms may have incentives to build up excess capacity relative to their quotas. Firms with excess capacity may, in turn, have stronger incentives to violate...
Ecological and economic tradeoffs of proposed management actions were assessed using the Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and Ecospace software. The model has 70 biomass pools (e.g., detritus, primary producers, invertebrates, fish, dolphins, sea birds), including multiple age-classes of key species. After mass-balancing, the model was driven using observed fishing mortality...
The western Indian Ocean coastal regions are poised to develop the great potential, largely untapped to date, for increased seafood production from marine aquaculture. The scales at which aquaculture development in the region proceeds will determine how the benefits from this economic activity are distributed. Finfish and shellfish farming can...
Past Aquaculture CRSP and AquaFish CRSP research studies in Kenya have largely focused on fish production resulting in improved production technology in aquaculture. In 2007, total fish production was estimated to be 4,245mt valued at US$6.6 million but has since grown exponentially. In Western Kenya, initiatives by cluster fish farmers...
Disease is a primary threat to the continued growth in salmon aquaculture due to its extensive effects on the sector. Aquaculture farms suffer the most direct and immediate economic losses through reduction in growth, low feed efficiency and market prices, increasing mortality rates, and expenditures on prevention and treatment measures....
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has for years compiled prices and indexes for all major food categories, except fisheries. This gap has now been filled, and a fish price index has been developed. The FAO fish price index (FPI) relies on trade statistics because seafood...
Abstract Only. Commercial aquaculture is gaining momentum in Kenya with farmers looking at it as viable enterprises especially in rural areas. Market for farmed fish in Kenya is quite promising with fish prices in several parts of the country ranging from KES 150 (USD 1.8) per kg. This indicates a...
Motivated by the evidence that many collapsed stocks have failed to recover despite fishing mortality has been reduced, or even when a moratorium is currently in effect, we develop a spline methodological approach to analyze the stochastic population dynamics of fish stocks at low stock levels. The aim of this...
Bluefin tuna capture today is focused on large fish caught by longline and smaller fish caught by purse seine for on-growing for between 3 months and 3 years. There has recently been the emergence of full life cycle farming in Japan with South Korea (Pacific bluefin tuna) and Australia (southern...
Abstract Fifty percent (50%) of the fish catch in Oman is estimated to be of low commercial value, which is discarded, fed to animals or marketed for very low prices. Therefore, the development and processing of fish to quality value-added fish products for local or international markets could be a...
The role of Women and their rights in Fisheries and Aquaculture Development in Africa. Generally speaking, the word "Gender" refers to the socially constructed roles and status of women and men, girls and boys, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women. Thus, In...
Is there a direct link between poverty and illegal fishing in Lake Victoria? The paper argues that presenting poverty as the main driver of illegal fishing in Lake Victoria masks core underlying causes of illegal fishing. Illegal fishing practice is a significant ecological trend in Lake Victoria. It is not...
The decision to enter or exit a fishery can be expected to depend on the anticipated profitability of operating in
this fishery, as a function of observed vessel performances in previous years. For a vessel exiting a fishery,
there may be several reasons including decommissioning, selling or operating elsewhere. Entry...
Catfish production has experienced a decline in the past two years, and farmers have been blaming international competition, exports, low prices and poor feed conversion ratios as the main causes. We evaluate the usefulness of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) as instruments for rapid...
Interactions between various uses of marine systems and between marine and terrestrially-based activities are quite well documented, and, in some cases, the negative impact of competing activities on the value of wild and farmed fisheries has also been evaluated. While such effects are usually reflected in a decline in the...
The new small scale fisheries policy has created an action space for marginalised small scale fishers practice their livelihoods and create economic opportunities for their families and communities. The political action space created to formulate a new small scale policy will now be translated to economic action space. This paper...
The paper examines the value chain of cultured fish (Tilapia and African catfish) in central Uganda with an objective of providing information on the topic. Aquaculture has been recognized as a sector to contribute to food security and poverty alleviation in the country. However, there is dearth of information on...
Illegal extraction is a serious issue in many renewable resource industries, such as fisheries and forestry. This traditional approach is to model the resource firm as one cohesive unit or an individual. However, in many cases violations are not committed by an individual, but by agents acting on behalf of...
Individual transferable quotas (ITQs) in multispecies fisheries create incentives for fishermen to avoid bycatch of
species for which quota is scarce. However, when bycatch is highly uncertain, individual quota demand and prices
may be volatile creating substantial financial risk for fishermen. The US Pacific Groundfish fishery recently
introduced an ITQ...
Short-lived fisheries stocks are subject to large fluctuations in abundance and respond rapidly to many factors
including changes in oceanographic conditions, biological interactions and fishery exploitation. Management of
such species requires a flexible, adaptive framework that responds rapidly to a changing environment, although such
schemes are rarely operationalized. In this...
The economic viability of the fishery will be dependant on the ability of the processors to deliver
desired products to their customers, when required. The ultimate goal must therefore be to identify
what the customers want and then to optimise the process that delivers the final product.
Catching fish is...
As part of the Namibian government initiative on sustainable resources development, the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources strongly urges right holders to continuously engage in value addition and market diversification of their products in an effort to realise maximum returns on their products. The importance of being in line...
The rapid increase in abalone production and importing of farmed products may pose a serious threat to
wild abalone producing countries, as it could cause negative pressure on prices. This paper investigates
the price relationships for imported abalone in the Japanese market and the implications for wild abalone
producing countries,...
The productivity and resilience of fisheries are subject to a multitude of dynamic and interrelated influences that arise from complex coupling of fish populations with the natural and human systems of which they are a part. With few exceptions, fisheries are managed independently, ignoring important natural and human linkages among...
The alien invasive red king crab in the Barents Sea represents both a threat through impacts on benthic ecosystem
functions, and a source of income for fishing communities in Northern Norway. Determining the risk the king crab
represents is central both with respect to international obligations and to determine the...
An investigation was carried out on Lake Geriyo in the month of April to know the pattern of
fish exploitation. The fish species sampled were mainly by using canoes as they were landed at
the landing site of the lake. A total of fourteen (14) species of thirteen (13) families...
The abalone industry in South Africa is known as one of the largest producing farmed abalone in the world. Most of the farms are located in the Western Cape Province. The growth of abalone aquaculture is expected to continue, however, access to suitable coastal land and the dependence to a...
The role of small-scale fisheries in developing countries has been widely discussed in the fisheries and‚
“commons”‚ literature. However, in the conservationist debate, even small-scale fishing has often been
seen as a potential evil that indeed threatens ecosystem health and should be broadly and rapidly
eliminated. Besides the global commitments...
Megacities impact distant fisheries behavior by modulating seafood demand and consumption. In the last
decades, Japanese food interest has grown considerably in South American cities, and the demand for raw
fish foods‚ sashimi - categories seems to be still increasing. In Southeastern Brazil, megacities such as
São Paulo show an...
Decades of social science research has shown that fisheries, particularly small-scale, are integral to
community wellbeing. They contribute to food security, men’s, women’s, and children’s livelihoods,
health, community identity, and social cohesion. These contributions need to be well-defined and
contextualized, as well as differentiated between fishing sectors, for better fisheries...
With growing concern over sustainable production, consumption and food security, new risks and
uncertainties are emerging for the seafood industry. These arise from diverse sources and multiple levels,
including supplies availability, market drivers, NGO pressures, regulation etc. In the face of this, our
traditional means of establishing ‚what is going...
In Zanzibar, an increasing number of women have entered fish markets acting as a link between fishers and
consumers, i.e. a middleman. However, since fisheries are traditionally male dominated, women receive little
recognition. Thus, gender analysis in the fisheries sector potentially can enhance management and development
policies as well as...
The central objective of fishery management is to ensure the sustainability and profitability of the resource base. The
importance of the fish stock's age-structure is increasingly recognized in economics and ecology. Still, current
policies predominately rely on the aggregate biomass. We carefully calibrate a detailed model on the North-East
Arctic...
The sustainable management of small-scale fisheries
in coral reef ecosystems constitutes a difficult objective
especially because these fisheries usually face several stringent pressures including demographic growth and climate
changes. The implications are crucial in term of food security as fish represents the major protein source for local
populations in those...
Recently the greening of fisheries has become a central theme among policymakers. The discussion on
how improved governance structures and policies can
help in achieving green growth goals is yet in its
infancy. One problem is that there is a lack of a general framework in which to address those...
Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) in the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) has exhibited extreme sensitivity in its abundance and distribution in the face of decadal-scale climate regime changes. Warm regimes enhance the abundance of Pacific sardine and expand its distribution. Cold regimes lessen the abundance and restrict the distribution. For instance,...
Community fishery rights are use rights (the right to take part in fishing) and/or management rights (the right to be involved in managing the fishery) implemented at a local, community level. While by no means a new invention, community rights are receiving renewed attention as a mechanism to improve the...
The financial success of the Scottish whitefish fleet is directly affected by the outcome of the December
2005 EU fisheries council where the fisheries management measures are decided.
To assist government, vessel owners and industry bodies at the December council negotiations, the
Seafish economics team has developed a cost and...
Economic performance indicators are needed in order to improve fisheries policy in Vietnam. The
research project “Revenues and Costs of Fishing Vessels in the Nha Trang Area” has been established to
meet these needs. A questionnaire about technical characteristics and economic data of vessel and gear
in use in the...
Market chain analysis can provide information on distribution of costs and profits to intermediaries and aid in identifying concentrations of market power. There is a paucity of research and limited empirical data on market chains in developing country fisheries, especially small-scale fisheries. With these fisheries dominated by artisanal and subsistence...
This paper examines the eleven year Department for International Development funded Fisheries Management Science Programme as a model to explore how fisheries management science can contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It describes how the Programme strategy was able to adapt to a changing policy environment and local needs...
Aquaculture worldwide has grown rapidly, and while this has brought socio-economic benefits to particular regions there is persistent concern over its environmental impact and sustainability. Within Europe there are quite marked regional variations in the intensity of marine aquaculture, and the fact that this occurs in areas where there is...
Most aquaculture rotation models deal with growing out a species to market size or to the optimum rotation age. Owners of these technologies often are also interested in investing in the growth parameters of the species, in order to shorten rotations. However, some species like the spotted and the Atlantic...
This paper describes the assumptions, scenarios and calculations underlying best estimates of the current costs of three notifiable fish diseases in the United Kingdom: infectious salmon anaemia (ISA), viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) and infectious haemorrhagic necrosis (IHN). The benefits of avoiding a major disease outbreak are effectively the return on...
Sea lice are natural parasites, and are spread between wild salmon stocks and farmed salmon. Studies indicate that sea lice from salmon farms not only cause economic losses to salmon aquaculture producers, but also affect other marine resources. Currently one of the most controversial debates over sea lice from salmon...
The objective of this study is to investigate the sustainability properties of the stock of the shrimp trawl
fishery in the Tonkin Gulf, Vietnam. Surplus production models of Verhulst-Schaefer and Gompertz-Fox
are applied to the shrimp trawl fishery, which is a typical tropical fishery with the characteristic properties
of small...
The world aquaculture industry is expanding its output but at the same time it is generating concerns about environmental sustainability. It is often heavily concentrated in coastal areas where there is strong competition for space and water resources and where it has been associated with externalities such as habitat destruction...
Marine scientists and policymakers are encouraging ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM), but there is limited guidance on how to operationalize the concept. We develop a method for EBFM based on financial asset management that uses the joint probability distribution of species in an ecosystem. Illustrating our method with the Chesapeake Bay,...
The objective of this paper is to explore eating and shopping habits related to fish across five European countries. A cross sectional consumer survey was carried out in Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, and Spain. A total sample of 4800 consumers was obtained, and the sample was representative within each country...
Fishmeal prices have increased sharply since the mid-2005 and the relationship between the prices of animal and vegetable proteins have become weaker, at least temporarily. This can be explained by a relatively constant fishmeal supply, which have varied around 6-7 million metric tons the last two decades, and an increasing...
The introduction of new frozen processed products such as Marine Stewardship Council certified New Zealand hoki into the UK market is providing consumers with options away from the standard choices of cod and haddock. Resource managers all have a stake in successful product endeavors since new exotic seafood choices could...
Investors in aquaculture are biased against the mangrove areas and prefer to site their farms in the upland parts of Southwest, Nigeria. This study was carried out to compare the yield performance in the two fish farm locations. The tools utilized included descriptive statistics, budgetary and cash flow analyses and...
Central Europe is an emerging market for seafood products, with rapidly developing opportunities for foreign direct investment and export. Although Poland in particular is widely regarded as a land of opportunity in the seafood business, surprisingly little effort has been made until now to gain a deeper understanding of the...
The OECD fisheries committee is finalizing a project on the economics of rebuilding fisheries. The focus
of the study has been the economic and institutional aspects of the rebuilding process, and the main
objectives were to identify economic, social and governance components underpinning successful
rebuilding based on the experiences of...
The trade of fish and fish products in Africa is expanding significantly as a function of increased demand for fish in
the region and across the world. Several factors which could be attributed to the rising trend include
increasing fish
consumption due to population growth, health awareness, dwindling production from...
The contribution of
fish and fisheries products in the economy of Horn
of Africa countries is substantial to food security,
livelihoods, employment and foreign currency earnings. However, production is mostly characterised by
artisanal fishermen who rely on local and cross border trading conducted through informal and unofficial
market channels and...
The Aquaculture & Fisheries Collaborative Research Support Program (AquaFish CRSP) fosters the development of technological innovations in aquaculture and fisheries to provide direct results for increased production and decreased environmental impacts in host countries. Ensuring the availability and accessibility of successful technologies through in ventive dissemination techniques is a high...
In aquaculture and fisheries, the value chain consists of all the various processes and activities involved in
bringing fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants to market. In some regions it can be an indicator of the
economic welfare of poor communities involved in small-scale operations. In order to maximize
smallholder participation...
Africa has traditionally depended on capture fisheries for most of its fish and fish products. However,
with capture fisheries dwindling and human population increasing, alternative sources have become
necessary. Although practiced for many decades, East African fish farming has been funded by donors
whose main interest has been on subsistence...
As many cases of tropical small-scale fisheries, the French Guiana coastal fishery is characterized by
the
high fish biodiversity of its ecosystem, the weak selectivity of the fleets exploiting the resources,
the
heterogeneity of the vessels in term of size and fishing techniques. The traditional tools used to manage
fisheries...
Employing an experimental approach, we examine whet
her the uncertainty on the fish/outputs price affects the
choice of vessel sizes of fishers under an ITQ scheme. Our experiment consists of two parts. In the first part,
subjects answer ten questions. The purpose is to extract the risk preference of each...
In Europe, the United Kingdom is one of the top nine producers of trout. Scotland accounts for
approximately 50% of total production in the UK. This shows that the Scottish trout farming sector is
important both at the local and has relevance within the larger context of pan-European trout production....
The study was carried out in Anyigba, North central
Nigeria to analyze the distribution, marketing and

to climate change bordering North-Eastern Nigeria,
North-Western Cameroon, South-Eastern...
Export economy has been interrupted in shrimp/prawn, the second largest earning source of Bangladesh due to detection of Nitrofuran in export ed prawns to the EU countries. Around 100 consignments of frozen prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) were rejected at the EU borders between 2005 and 2009. Bangladesh exported shrimp and fish...
With the development of the ecosystem approach to f
isheries (EAF), fisheries management is
increasingly required to deal with multiple, often
conflicting objectives. In this context, the
stochastic co-viability approach has been proposed
as a useful modeling framework as it allows
for the combined representation of complex fisherie
s dynamics,...
Fish stocks are facing increasing threat of extinct
ion partly due to the use of illegal fishing methods. In developing
coastal countries where fishing activities are the
mainstay of the population along the coast, livelihoods are being
directly threatened. Although a number of studies unearthing factors determining supply of violation...
Over 90% of global aquaculture production comes fro
m the Asia Pacific region. International trade in live
aquatic animals and the intensification of aquaculture practices over the past several years have led
to
emergence and spread of several aquatic animal diseases in the region. At the same time, while the...
By 1992, the Canadian cod populations collapsed and
a moratorium on fishing was declared, which
remains in place until today. Ecologists suspect that the marine ecosystem at the Canadian east coast
has
shifted towards a new regime, where cod stocks remain at a low level while other species biomass levels,...
It is now widely recognized that property rights based fisheries management regimes are well
suited for generating efficiency in fisheries. Apart from access licences, which are very low
quality property rights, individual quotas (IQs) and individual transferable quotas (ITQs) are the
most widely applicable and, indeed, the most commonly applied...
The UN MDG of 2000 include poverty eradication, protection of our common environment, and human
rights, democracy, and good governance. Fisheries have been expected to contribute to meet these goals,
especially after the UNCLOS III. As a result, many developing countries have over-invested in fisheries
with environmental degradation by industrial...
This paper presents a new bio-economic simulation model for the Italian fisheries developed as a part of a project financed by The General Directorate for Fisheries and Aquaculture (under the Italian Ministry of Forestry and Agriculture Policies). The main objective of the model is to measure the effects of different...
Though long a standard technique in engineering and medical research, duration or survival analysis has
become common in economics only in recent decades, and in fisheries economics we are aware of only
one previous study. In this paper, we demonstrate the usefulness of duration analysis to understanding
fleet dynamics, specifically...
Oregon ocean shrimp annual harvest relies on the successful recruitment and growth of age one shrimp. Changes in oceanic conditions appear to have major impacts on recruitment, spatial abundance and growth rates. Successful recruitment has been identified with the timing and strength of the spring transition generating oceanic conditions favorable...
The concept of natural resource rents is much used in the natural resource and fisheries
economics literature. It is therefore somewhat surprising that in this same literature it is difficult
to find a clear definition of either natural resource rents or fisheries rents. Possibly, as a result,
the concept is...
This paper proposes a two-stage method to estimate a generalized Gordon-Schaefer model,
using heterogeneous fishing data in the logbook. A Cobb-Douglas production function is consistently
estimated in the first stage by means of the ‘within period estimator’. A stock index
is constructed and used to estimate the logistic growth model...
This paper discusses the connection between the concepts of fishing effort and separability of the
variables in a general fisheries production function of the Translog form. It compares the results
of the discussion with the Cobb-Douglas and Constant Elasticity of Substitution forms. It
concludes that to assume unconditionally that some...
Fisher behavior can be divided into choices made in the short term (i.e. tactics) and choices made in the long-mid term (i.e. strategies). Random utility modeling (RUM) is well suited for the empirical analysis of these issues. In this paper, RUM is applied to a number of EU fisheries in...
This paper deals with the economic impact of an aquatic invasive alien species on a coastal shellfish
fishery. A slipper-limpet (Crepidula fornicata ) was accidentally imported some decades ago, has
established and is spreading in the bay of Saint-Brieuc (France). This exotic species is acting as a space
competitor for...
In multispecies fisheries managed with individual fishery quotas (IFQs), fishers targeting certain species often have
insufficient quota to cover other jointly caught species. New Zealand employs a unique dual price-quantity system to
address this problem. In lieu of acquiring quota, fishers can opt to pay a fee per unit of...
Recent increases in imports of catfish and crawfish have caused concern as to their impact on domestic
prices. This study identifies the linkages between imports of these goods and U.S. producer prices.
Increases in imports of catfish are shown to decrease related domestic prices. However, recent trends
show a simultaneous...
Seafood consumption has been traditionally very important in Spain (about 36.5 kg per capita
consumed in 2003). Hake (merluza) is the main fish species consumed in quantity and value
terms in Spain. But commercialised as hake can be found several fish species and presentations.
When many papers focus on product...
Recent work in the domain of fisheries ecology has shown that major changes are occurring in fish
communities exploited by commercial fisheries. Selective fishing pressure on more highly valued
components of fish communities, and its indirect effects via trophic interactions, are amongst the key
factors proposed to explain these changes....
This paper re-examines the evidence of causality and price transmission between fish prices of main species landed into Piraeus (Greece) and Cornwall (UK). To complete the analysis of cointegration and causality, we use the data of Floros and Failler (2004) and Avdelas (2004). Our paper uses the Bivariate Generalised Autoregressive...
This paper explores the reasons why the ties between harvesting and processing have been severed in the
Icelandic fisheries in recent decades, and traces the role played by better transport, the emergence of
domestic wet-fish markets, and the introduction of freezing trawlers, as well as other factors in this
development....
Finnish fish markets have traditionally been supplied by domestic wild fish species: Baltic herring, salmon and several freshwater species. Nowadays, farmed salmon and rainbow trout dominate the market and wild-caught species are moving to niche product segment. In this paper we examine the market integration of Finnish fish markets. We...
One of the major sectors of Bangladesh agriculture is represented by the fisheries sector. Being a deltaic land

This paper discusses sustainable development of Yemeni fisheries towards achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and stakeholder aspiration. Yemen is considered a Least Developed Country ranking 148 among 174 countries in terms of the Human Development Index. In terms of food security, Yemen is classified as a Low-Income and Food...
France is Europe's largest market for salmon, close to saturation for traditional products but open to opportunities for differentiated items. Over the last ten years, the supply of salmon-based products has moved from basic items to more sophisticated ones. Processing is one way of turning the product into what consumers...
Globalisation continues to impact the fisheries sector, aided by international governance frameworks in fisheries production and trade. Within these frameworks, tensions exist between trade facilitating measures and trade restricting measures. For example, UNCLOS extended Exclusive Economic Zones to 200 miles, resulting in a significant increase in volume and trade in...
Although European fish consumption is increasingly dependant on aquaculture products given the
decrease of worldwide fisheries landings, the image of farmed fish is more and more controversial. This
paper aims at assessing the importance of farmed fish in the European seafood consumption, as well in
terms of image and perception...
