Fisheries models are generally built to assess the dynamics of a resource with a given fishing mortality
which level can be decided by some “decision maker” and/or which can be an observed process, e.g. times series proportional to some observed values of fishing effort. In these cases, the resource dynamics...
Inland fisheries in the Tonlesap Lake of Cambodia play an essential role in providing with protein and cash income to the poor around the lake. However, the fisheries face a crisis of fish resource depletion due to excessive catch, water pollution and decline in the water level of the Lake....
Fishery villages (Van Chai) has been formed for about 300 years since pioneered fishers settled in Phan Thiet for their livelihoods. This was a original social professional organization found before official administrative system established.
Binh Thuan has more than 30 Van Chai in coastal areas, in which about 20 importantly...
The long history of the van chai system of Vietnam began several centuries ago with their establishment mainly in the lower and middle reaches of rivers northern Vietnam and in coastal lagoons in Central Vietnam, whereas those in marine embayments, like Ha Long Bay, and in enclosed coastal areas, like...
This paper studies the potential for cooperation in shared fisheries when the countries in the coalition act in a Stackelberg fashion with respect to the remaining singletons. An increase in the cooperation level is a social welfare improvement, leading to an increase in both the steady-state fish stock and total...
The paper analyzes the recent behavior of the Peruvian Anchoveta Sector, the largest single stock fishery in the world. It describes the different phases of boom and contraction that it has undergone since the 1960s, and how the lack of adequate regulation allowed –and even fostered– over-investment in the sector...
On the basis of literatures and the data from stratified sampling of 160 fishing vessels in the East Sea Region of China, the process of institutional transition of operational systems of fishing vessels in the region, which started from 1979, their present situation and performance were analysed in this paper....
Main fishing gear in Thailand was otter board trawls. More than 70% of the total Thai fishing vessels had been using this fishing gear, as well as push net which was restricted targeting for demersal resources. Due to the 2.5 cm fine mesh size, juvenile economic species had been caught...
The impacts of fishery management actions on shore-based fishing and fishing related infrastructure have received increased attention in the Northeast region of the United States. However, analyses of these impacts have generally focused on directly affected fisheries, ignoring changes in other fisheries and on other sea and land-based activities. Developing...
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...
Tam Giang - Cau Hai lagoon systems covered over 22.000 ha, along coastal region from North to South of Thua Thien Hue with 70 km and more than 400.000 inhabitants are living around in lagoon systems. There are many livelihood activities as fishing, aquaculture and farming. Aquaculture systems are diversified:...
This study focused on analysis of the influences of the Post-Tsunami Rehabilitation Programs on the socio-economic status of cage aquaculture farmers along Andaman sea coast, Thailand. The study also emphasized on the enhancement of the livelihood of the farmers. Data was collected by interviewing 164 farmers, who reside in the...
Vietnam is in the club of countries gifted with the long coastal line, and strong in marine features accordingly. Fishing operations are artisan characteristic and the management method is primarily open – access. Since the past few years, the yellow fin tuna long- lining fishery has become one sub-sector experiencing...
The overall objective of SPICOSA is to develop a self-evolving, holistic research approach for integrated assessment of Coastal Systems so that the best available scientific knowledge can be mobilized to support deliberative and decision-making processes aimed at improving the sustainability of Coastal Systems by implementing Integrated Coastal Zone Management policies....
In many fisheries, the harvesting pattern shows considerable intra-year variation. These fluctuations give
challenges for downstream firms in value chains where predictability and continuity in the flow of production are important. Seasonal harvesting may well be rational from an economic perspective, as migration patterns can give huge variations in catch...
This paper examines the relationship between the university and its regional context with a focus on the case of Nha Trang University and on its potential service role. While the core roles of universities are to impart knowledge and develop human capital, and to promote knowledge creation, the literature also...
Unlike the North and the South where abundance of freshwater, the marine capture fisheries is underdeveloped, the Central Coast, especially South Central Coast with little freshwater fisheries resources, but high amount of shrimps, fishes at sea, thus local fishermen have exploited this resource for living early. Together with this living...
Aquaculture remains as a suitable avenue in India for augmenting fish production, which is easy, cost effective and sustainable at the same time. It provides livelihoods to rural people through generating income and employment and reduces poverty by developing and strengthening community based approaches. The expansion of farmed fishery development...
Under the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSRA), US fisheries management councils must specify an annual catch limit (ACL) for each managed species and institute accountability measures (AMs) to ensure that actual harvest will not cause the stock to be overfished. While the details of implementation are still being developed, a set...
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...
