In this paper an extended version of the well-known Faustmann model is developed for solving the rotation problem in fish farming. Two particularly important aspects of the problem are emphasized: namely first, the possibilities for cycles in relative price relationships and second, the problem with limitations in release time for...
Following the introduction of the red drum Sciaenops ocellatus in the early 80_s in the Caribbean island La Martinique, farming techniques were set up and a small scale farming sector developed.

Global warming is expected to affect the ecosystem in the Northeast Atlantic, and sufficient changes will also affect
the aquaculture industry. Farming of salmon and trout is the biggest aquaculture industry in Norway. The export
value was about 2 billion US dollars in 2005. The objective of the paper is...
The management of the French shellfish industry has been based for a century and a half on a Territorial Use Right in Fisheries (TURF) scheme. This was meant to ensure control over access and use and was seen as a potential remedy for overexploitation. But the resource, i.e. shellfish nutrients,...
In this paper the focus is on the process of internationalization and globalization in the seafood farming industry. The development in the five largest and international farming firms is studied in relation to both traditional stage-theories of internationalization, and more recent theories, like the RBV, contributing to IB. Integration processes,...

The new world trading order has introduced major liberalization initiatives for developing country fish producers. It has on the other hand raised non-tariff barriers, such as food safety standards. Non-tariff barriers will profoundly shape the sharing of benefits and costs of rising global fish trade. The potential impacts of these...
