Optimal and sustainable fisheries industry can only be achieved with proper planning through
the implementation of appropriate management instruments as well. Fisheries resources
accounting is one of the planning instruments, which should be used as a main reference of
Fisheries Management Plan. In general, fisheries accounting provide insights for policy...
Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS) have seen an increase in popularity relative to traditional Centralized Version Control Systems (CVCS). Yet we know little on whether developers are benefitting from the extra power of DVCS. Without such knowledge, researchers, developers, tool builders, and team managers are in the danger of making...
Basic research on semantic interoperability is just beginning to address support for spatial data and information. This is clearly important for data portals containing geographic information system (GIS) layers, as well as supplemental information, often with cartographic and decision support tools. Agreements on content/semantic interoperability of these resources can help...
The formulation of demand functions for aquatic products has been prevalently practiced worldwide, but
still represents a rather new phenomenon in the area of applied economics in Vietnam. This paper focuses
on estimates of demand functions for Norwegian salmon products. Log-linear functions are used to construct the model. The major...
Local community in the Mekong Delta is said to be “fish eating society” where 70% of their animal protein relies on fish products. The Mekong Delta contributes more than 60% of total aquaculture production and 40% of total wild fish catch of Vietnam. Among a large number of fishing boats,...
One of the least studied areas of Information Foraging Theory
is diet: the information foragers choose to seek. For
example, do foragers choose solely based on cost, or do
they stubbornly pursue certain diets regardless of cost? Do
their debugging strategies vary with their diets? To investigate
"what" and "how"...
In 1995 my students and I developed Leda, a multiparadigm language based on the Pascal model. Leda allowed programmers to create abstractions in an object-oriented, functional, or logic programming style. More recently we have been interested in recreating this work, but this time using Java as the language basis. The...
The language G is an expression based language designed around the concept of the stream; where a stream is a sequence of values, perhaps infinite in length. There are no statements in G, only expressions. All expressions are evaluated on a demand driven basis, no computation takes place that does...
Women are recognized as agents of changes and development .Their involvement in aquaculture is one issue that needs to be addressed when dealing with rural communities and poverty alleviation among the rural women .The major way to ensure that women utilize their full potentials in profitable aquaculture is to provide...
The ex-vessel supply chain for fisheries has been recognized as an important determinant of value generation. In recent years, as the retail demand for fresh seafood products has increased, many independent fishermen have bypassed thin, monopsonized, or otherwise inferior wholesale markets by engaging in implicit or explicit fixed-output contracts with...
The study looked at gender roles in the value chain for small scale Tilapia capture and marketing in villages and market centres along the Sinazongwe shore line of Lake Kariba, Zambia. Objectives were to identify dominant gender in supply chain functions, compute price changes due to value addition and isolate...
The Lake Victoria dagaa constitutes over 38% of the total fish landings from Lake Victoria in Tanzania. The fishery supports a major artisanal fishery in the country, ranking second to the Nile perch in Tanzania. However, the dagaa fishery is associated with high level of post-harvest loss (physical and quality...
Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic organisms especially fish, in Nigeria is dated back to the 1940s at Onikan Experimental farm, South West Lagos and the 160ha industrial scale fish farm, Middle Belt, Panyam, Jos in 1951. Since then, great expansion has been witnessed in Nigeria’s aquaculture industry; graduating from extensive...
The study was carried out in Anyigba metropolis in central Nigeria to analyse the distribution, marketing and consumption of frozen fish. Twenty (20) retailers and 60 consumers were randomly selected for questionnaire administration. Descriptive statistics, marketing margin analysis, the gross margin approach to profitability analysis and regression analysis were used....
This study provides estimates of a complete demand elasticities matrix for meat, poultry, fishery fish,
aquaculture fish, as well as shrimp and shell fish in Taiwan, using the linear approximate almost ideal demand system.
Estimation is based on aggregate annual consumption data complied from Taiwan Food Balance Sheets during 1970-1998....
Survey data on the choice of canned fish were analyzed through stepwise logistic regression. Those who lived in
northern Taiwan, those who paid more attention to food taste, those who preferred to eat fish, those who liked to eat sour
food, those who liked to eat bitter gourds, those employed...
The marine fisheries production from African coastal countries, combined with that of freshwater production of
the continent is estimated to be 6 millions metric tons, corresponding only 5 % of the total world production. Africa's
contribution to fisheries products (1,5 %) is insignificant compared to that of world commerce which...
This paper puts forth the proposition that all catch share schemes should be analysed primarily through the lens of cooperative game theory, which has now been developed to an advanced degree in the analysis of international fisheries management. If the fishers in a catch share scheme are playing cooperatively, the...
In the study of a geographically aggregated market, the choice of a representative household leads to consider the
whole territory as a single, homogeneous one. However, there are reasons to believe that regional preference differences do
exist when there are important cultural and climatic differences among regions, and, historically, most...
The production of high quality grass seed is important to the agricultural economy of the Grande Ronde Valley (GRV) of eastern Oregon. The predominate grass seed crops grown in the area are Kentucky bluegrass and fine fescues. Historically, open-field burning has been an effective, economical means by which to remove...
