This paper analyzes macroeconomic variables to determine their effect on the United States’ trade balance. Data on GDP, exchange rates, money supply and the trade balance are adjusted for inflations to get inflation-adjusted variables. This will lead to a regression with the goal of determining which factors explain the variability...
The Chiloe archipelago (Patagonia, Chile) economy lies upon agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture. The marine activities were recently affected by an epidemic crisis in salmon farming and a market crisis for most of the seafood products, including seaweeds. Two Marine Reserves (Putemun and Pullinque) in this island were also badly impacted...
Marine conservation measures such as moratoriums challenge the economics of fisheries. Efficiency of moratoriums depends on the acceptation by fisheries of such conservation measures. If the measure is unaccepted by fisheries the moratorium is not respected which leads the stock to extinction. The purpose of this article is to identify...
A comparative multi-fleet rationale of socioeconomic indicators is described aiming a
potential incorporation into fishery management advice at an ecosystem scale. A set of
performance indicators, based on a survey of different industrial fishing fleets in São
Paulo (SE Brazil) which investigated investment, fixed, effort, labour and sailingrelated
costs and...
A total of 225 Clarias gariepinus fingerlings with average weight of 8.30 g±0.01 were fed rations in which rumen content (RC) were included in a completely randomized design. They were grouped into 5 treatments of 3 replicates, each containing 15 fish, fed RC in a practical diet at 0, 6,...
Red tides are algal blooms that have caused significant ecological and
economic damage in Florida. Different nations and regions have addressed
harmful algal blooms such as red tides a variety of ways including distinct
strategies designed to prevent, control and or mitigate the negative effects
of a bloom. While a...
This study investigates the economic impact to fisheries and associated sectors if wild fisheries continue operating to
2030 without considering the effects of climate change. Estimates of climate change impacts in Australian fisheries
and their associated probability distributions were derived from the literature and expert consultations. An Input-
Output model...
Mussels aquaculture is a relevant activity for the fishery sector of the North
Adriatic. Around 15 km of coastal water of the Gulf of Trieste, Italy, are
used for the mussel long line farming, for a production of about 5000
tonn/year. The aim of this work is to assess sustainability...
