Abstract:: Small-scale fisheries in developing countries have often been perceived as a low-productivity, backward informal sector. As a result they are rarely considered as a possible entry point in poverty reduction and rural development planning. Data collected in Democratic Republic of Congo show that this perception may not reflect the empirical...

Abstract:: The arrival in the 1980s of cultured shrimp has induced large changes on the World shrimp market. In this new environment, the French Guyana fishery production now competes strongly with some of these farm-produced shrimp. Consequently, this fishery has experienced serious export problems during the last decade. This paper is...

Abstract:: Today, decentralization and democratic participation are presented as necessary conditions to achieve poverty alleviation and ensure the sustainable use of our diminishing natural resources. In small-scale fisheries, similar ideas predominate and decentralization has become the new management paradigm through the concepts of community-based and co-management. In this paper, we present...

Abstract:: This article gives insights on the complex balance between coalitions structure, resource state or dynamics and agents’ heterogeneity to avoid bio-economic collapses. A model bringing together coalition games and a viability approach is proposed to focus on the compatibility between bio-economic constraints and an exploited common stock dynamics. It is...

Abstract:: This paper deals with the sustainable management of a renewable resource based on individual and transferable quotas (ITQs) when agents differ in terms of harvesting costs or catchability. In a dynamic bio-economic model, we determine the conditions under which the manager of an ITQ system can achieve sustainability objectives which...

Abstract:: The coastal fishery in French Guyana is a challenging case study for the implementation of the ecosystem based fishery management. Although the current situation of this small scale fishery could be considered as satisfactory, the viability of the fishery can be questioned. Indeed according to demographic scenarios, the growth of...

Abstract:: The incorporation of fisheries commodities into the International Food Policy Research Institute’s (IFPRI) International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) model suggests that demand for fisheries products will rise faster than supply over the next two decades, and that fishery commodity prices will rise relative to...

Abstract:: In Africa, there is a growing awareness of the need to learn from the fisheries experiences of Asia, where the fisheries conditions are similar, to solve the deepening crisis in fisheries and poverty in the continent. As a response, technical assistance in the areas of fish stock assessment, fisheries management...
