  • 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 accounts include produced capital, natural capital and human and social capital. Natural capital includes agricultural land, forests, subsoil assets and protected areas, but omit a number of critical natural capital...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tuna allocation within a game theoretic framework

    Creator:
    Bailey, Megan and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    Collaborative management is essential in fisheries with multiple users, where different fishing groups compete to exploit a shared stock, often using unsustainable practices. This is the case in the Coral Triangle, an ecosystem increasingly coveted by conservation organizations for its high biodiversity, and heavily exploited by fishing groups from the...

  • Game Theory and Fisheries: The Case Study of The Illex Argentinus Fishery in South America

    Creator:
    Villasante, Sebastian and Sumaila, Rashid
    Abstract:
    The Patagonian marine ecosystem is one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, with important commercial shared/straddling stocks. One of the highest mobility resources is the Argentine shortfin squid (Illex argentinus). Its distribution is limited to the area of influence of the warm-cold waters of sub-Antarctic origin, particularly of...
