  • Ten Principles for Managing Fisheries to Facilitate Adaptation to Uncertain Effects of Climate Change

    Creator:
    Knapp, Gunnar
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Husbandry or Hunting? Prospects for Co-managed Fisheries Based on Artificial Reefs in the Algarve (Portugal)

    Creator:
    Ramos, Jorge, Whitmarsh, David, Costa Monteiro, Carlos, and Neves dos Santos, Miguel
    Abstract:
    Fisheries exploited under open-access conditions create externalities, resulting in a range of problems associated with over-capitalisation and stock depletion. One answer to this is to shift the mode of production away from hunting and towards husbandry, an approach which becomes feasible where some control can be exercised over the resource...

  • Duration Analysis of Fleet Dynamics

    Creator:
    Holloway, Garth and Tomberlin, David
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Trade Patterns for Spiny Lobster Harvested in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Regions

    Creator:
    Adams, Chuck, Larkin, Sherry, and Cruz, Raul
    Abstract:
    Spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) and related species represent one of the most important commercial fisheries targeted within the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean regions. This important fishery extends from Florida (USA) to Brazil. The longlived, pelagic larval stage within the life cycle of spiny lobster reveal this species to be...

  • An Evaluation of The Commercial Fishing License Policy in The Philippines

    Creator:
    Trinidad, Annabelle Cruz
    Abstract:
    In the Philippines, the current licensing policy for commercial fishing does not significantly contribute to the general goals of fisheries management. It is a failure as a monitoring tool as evidenced by the absence of a comprehensive information system on fish catches, effort and area of operation. Fisheries licensing does...

    Terry, Joseph and Pan, Minling
    Abstract:
    NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recently completed two reports on excess harvesting capacity, National Assessment of Excess Harvesting Capacity in Federally Managed Commercial Fisheries and Excess Harvesting Capacity in U.S. Fisheries: A Report to Congress. This paper presents the definitions of harvesting capacity, excess capacity, and overcapacity used in...

  • Habitat-destructive fishing practices

    Creator:
    Mikkelsen, Eirik
    Abstract:
    A model for studying how destructive fishing practices may affect commercial fish stocks through their effect on habitat is presented. It may be used both for renewable habitat-types, like eelgrass (Zostra marina) or sponges, and also practically non-renewable habitats like corals. The model demonstrates the trade-offs between using destructive and...

    Isaacs, Moenieba
    Abstract:
    This paper intends to ascertain whether the micro-commercial initiative of Marine and Coastal Management Department (M&CM) introduced in 2001 is contributing to the sustainable livelihoods of fishers in the community of Ocean View. Ocean View is located in the greater Cape Town metropole and was created by the Group Areas...

    Abstract:
    Two successful cases of sea urchin enhancement activities were considered using the experiences of two neighboring provinces in Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte, both located in Northwestern Luzon, Philippines. One case was done at the coastal waters of Nagabungan Bay in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte, which experienced a decline in sea...

    Abstract:
    Molluscan shellfish culture is an important component of the commercial aquaculture industry in Florida, USA. The primary species cultured is the hard clam, Mercenaria mercenaria. Currently, annual grower revenues total approximately $15 million, which generate $40 million in economic impact to the state. However, hard clam production in other USA...

    Abstract:
    The aim of this paper was to compare the nutritional value of some low price fish (Sardina pilchardus, Engraulis encrasicholus, Anguilla anguilla, Salmo trutta, Mugil chepalus) to high price fish with high consumption rate (Sparus aurata, Merluccius merluccius, Dicentrarchus labrax).In general, the commercial values of several fish species in Greece...

  • Carbon Footprint of Commercial Fishing In the Northeast United States

    Creator:
    Kitts, Andrew, Schneider, Greg, and Lent, Rebecca
    Abstract:
    Environmental concerns about seafood consumption generally are associated with the status of target stocks as well as bycatch and/or habitat issues. The more recent concept of "food miles" hails from terrestrial food production, and focuses on "consuming locally" in an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of a consumer's diet....

    Abstract:
    A scientific knowledge gap exists with regard to how benthic habitat is affected by destructive fishing methods, such as bottom trawling, and how this impacts upon the productivity of commercial fish stocks. This article addresses analytically the effects of destructive fishing practices of a single gear fishery on a non-renewable...

  • Diversifying Artisanal Fishing Fleets in the Galapagos Marine Reserve

    Creator:
    Larkin, Sherry and Adams, Charles
    Abstract:
    Fishing activities within the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) are restricted to small-scale levels by national law. The fishing sector has relied on just two fisheries, sea cucumber and spiny lobster, and a strong Asian export market. Despite a series of input and output controls and a co-management scheme, stocks have...
