  • Current Worldwide Contribution of Marine Fish to Human Welfare

    Creator:
    Sumaila, Rashid
    Abstract:
    Some attempts have been made in the past to provide estimates of the value of global fisheries. For example, catch values from marine fisheries have been reported by the FAO (2008) and Sumaila et al. (2007). The World Bank (2008) estimated that current economic rent from the worlds fisheries is...

  • The Need to Clarify Fisheries Economics

    Creator:
    Sumaila, Rashid
    Abstract:
    Recent articles in the multidisciplinary fisheries literature have been critical of fisheries economics concepts and literature. For example, a paper by Bromley (2009) entitled Abdicating Responsibility: The Deceits of Fisheries Policy: Fisheries 34(6):280-302, provides a critical review of fisheries economics. I explore the main issues raised in this paper and...

  • Harmful Subsidies Are Made for Inequality and Unsustainability

    Creator:
    Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    I first of all sketch a picture of the importance of fisheries to people and argue that our interactions with fish stocks, for the most part, are currently unsustainable. Next, I identify the provision of capacity-enhancing subsidies by governments or what has been described as ‘harmful' or ‘bad' subsidies in the...

  • Are Small-scale Fisheries Economically Viable?

    Creator:
    Sumaila, Rashid and Hotte, Ngaio
    Abstract:
    The contributions of small-scale fisheries to income and employment are well recognized but not sufficiently understood. It is difficult to gauge, for instance, whether this sector is economically viable, especially in the context of large-scale economic, social, political, and ecological change processes. These knowledge deficits create an environment of uncertainty...

  • Forage Fish in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem: Ecological Linkages, Current Catches and Values

    Creator:
    Cisneros-Montemayor, Andres and Sumaila, Rashid
    Abstract:
    I begin my talk by identifying the fish species that inhabit the California Current Large Marine ecosystem (CCLME). Next, I categorize these species into predator-prey and forage and non-forage fishes. I then present the current catches, landed values, payment to labour (wages), capital (profit) and payment to the resource owners...

  • Climate Change Effects on the Economics and Management of World Fisheries

    Creator:
    Sumaila, Rashid and Hotte, Ngaio
    Abstract:
    Climate and marine ecosystem research informs us that marine fish resources would come under increasing stress over the course of the 21st century as global climate change, ocean acidification and de-oxygenation combine with other stresses on the ocean, including heavy fishing pressure and marine pollution, to change the primary productivity...
