State. The catfish sellers were interviewed from the market with the aid of
structured questionnaire and personal interviews. Data were collected using
simple random sampling technique from fifty (50) marketers. The data
collected were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, profitability...
A significant pattern in Spanish salt fish demand over the last decade has been a steady increase in consumption of frozen light salted fillet, mainly at the expense of traditional wet salted whole consumption. Our findings suggest that a significant trend exists that consumers in Spain prefer purchasing the light...
Fish is the cheapest animal protein source in Nigeria and dry fish, in particular, has the potential to solve the pervasive protein shortage problem owing to its relative affordability compared with fresh fish. Boosting dry fish consumption will entail retail price reduction which is achievable only if the market for...
The objective of this research is twofold. First, this study uses a
cointegration model to investigate possible potential long-run pricing
relationships among the major landings of the Hawaii tuna longline fishery
(bigeye, yellowfin, skipjack, and albacore tuna). This analysis will
determine to what extent changes in the price of one...
Research of value chains in fish industries indicates that there is great
difference in value creation of the domestic part of the value chain between
countries with underdeveloped fish industries and developed fish
industries. This comparison is founded on the authors´ research on the
value chains of Icelandic cod and...
The expansion of the aquaculture sector over the last two decades has coincided with the growth in
importance of supermarkets in fish retailing in the EU. This paper presents a Value Chain analysis of
selected species from their point of production in Bangladesh to the major consumer markets in Europe,...
Fish is an important source of protein for the middle-class and elites across Nigeria. The handling, processing, and marketing of fish products are essential complementary functions of all food production systems. Additionally, the fish trade offers substantial employment opportunities in many coastal and inland areas where fish is caught. The...
Wild seabass consumption in France is supplied by both small-scale fishing
fleets (liners) and larger fishing fleets (trawlers and purse-seiners). This
product differentiation supports a rather robust market segmentation which
benefits to the liner captures, the average price of which is 50% higher.
This price premium is explained at first...
The fishing industry is particularly important for Sri Lankans for the domestic supply but there is also a
small but growing export market for high value products. The potential for economic development lies
there with yellowfin tuna as the most important specie. In this research the efficiency and productivity of...
Fishery is one of the sub-sectors of agri-cultural sector which plays a
significant role in the economy of Bangladesh. However, fishermen are
deprived from getting reasonable prices of their catches due to a large price
spread between the price paid by the ultimate consumers or users and price
received by...
Fresh fish trade in Kribi, Cameroon is characterized by high uncertainty in a context of specific assets. Facing this uncertainty, actors have developed hybrid coordination mechanisms centered on contractual arrangements and networks. These implicit contractual arrangements involve price negotiation, delivery agreements between fishermen and buyers, as well as transactions including...
Although many countries develop dominating export conventions aimed
for strengthen the fishing industry export based economy, the export
performance varies. The institutional reasons for such differences in
performance are investigated in a comparative study of the Norwegian and
Icelandic export of salted cod to the Spanish market. Iceland has over...
The two main pillars of the Icelandic fishing industry are the large vertically integrated fishing companies and the SMEs, specialised in fishing, producing or marketing. In order to understand how they are able to function side by side and at the same time secure a relatively high value added for...
The main objective of this paper is to analyze the economics effects that
the Prestige oil spill over (2003) had on the Basque coastal fishing industry
by means of a two-stage stochastic production frontier approach. The first
stage is based on the econometric specification of a parametric production
frontier based...
A Seafood Environmental Management Systems manual (SEMS) has been developed by Bord Iascaigh
Mhara (The Irish Sea Fisheries Board) in conjunction with the Irish fishing industry to encourage
fishermen to adopt an environmentally conscious, responsible and compliant approach to their business.
The documented risk-based SEMS approach developed is essentially a...
Due in part to limitations in data and models, fishery managers have been
hindered in their efforts to simultaneously address economic and ecological
effects of management measures. In the US, this promotes violation of
National Standard 8 of the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, which mandates that conservation...
Much of fish consumed by the poor are caught by household members and
traded in local markets. These fish trades are rarely or poorly included in
national statistics, and it is therefore difficult to estimate precisely the real
contribution of fish to food and nutrition security. The WorldFish Center
recently...
This paper examines differences and changes in fishing activity among
individual ports in a multi-species fishery using shift-share analysis. We
describe overall trends in the fishing industry in north-central California
and examine the extent to which different ports have fared differently.
Trends in trips, boats, and revenue indicate that the...
Individual transferable quotas (ITQs) have been used in several countries worldwide to regulate access to
marine fisheries. While ITQs can improve the economic efficiency of fisheries, in practice they are not a
panacea and distribution and equity issues have been raised in many cases. To overcome those issues,
ITQ systems...
New Zealands quota management system is based on transferable
harvesting rights operating within regulated allowable harvest limits. The
system has evolved since its implementation in 1986. One particular
challenge has been the design of mechanisms to encourage the balancing of
catch against quota. A model is developed for a target...
This research examines bargaining power in the market for Northeast
Multispecies Days-at-Sea (DAS). In 2004, the DAS system was converted
to a tradable input control system. Characteristics of the program include:
1) trading restrictions based on length and power to limit increases in
output, 2) prohibitions that limit the ability...
In this paper we try to assess the welfare implications of the Tanzanian fisheries boom following from the increase in quantities and prices of the Lake Victoria Nile perch export primarily to Europe over the last twenty years. We have a micro level perspective using data from a 1993 World...
In the globalizing era, world trade of fishery resources has sharply
increased. Because capture fisheries are hard to be managed, growing
opportunity for fishery trade may cause the overexploitation of world
fishery resources. For instance, the theoretical model developed by
Takarada et al (2009, mimeograph) implies that fish stocks may...
Pangasius culture in recent years has proved its ability to contribute to national wealth and prosperity. As far as domestic consumption is concerned, pangasius represents an important source of nutrient intake for a large portion of the population. Multiple effects have been generated through large-scale exports, which is associated with...
The fishery sector is important in Nigeria’s development matrix. The sector not only
provides employment for the citizens but also contributes more than 40% of animal protein consumed by average Nigerian. However, over the years the role of providing animal protein for the populace dwindled to the extent that fish...
The Philippines, located within the Coral Triangle which represents the epicenter of marine life abundance and diversity, is the source of groupers traded in Hongkong, China, Singapore and other countries. Grouper production in the country (19.7 th mt), gross value (USD 5.8 mil) and trade value (USD 14.4 mil) is...
Aquaculture is increasingly important for the future supply of fish because of steadily increasing demand while supply from fisheries is stagnating. In the EU aquaculture production has grown strongly in some countries, such as Spain and Greece, but was flat at a low level in others, such as in Germany,...
With the annual volume of live fish harvested in 2007 reached over 1 million MT, exported volume of frozen fillets and processed products at 386,600 MT, valued at US$ 979 million, Vietnam's farmers, processors and exporters have made Pangasius the 2nd most important fresh-water fish specie in the world market,...
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...
The majority of monitored fish stocks globally is fully or over exploited, that is, at or below their maximum sustainable yield stock levels. Despite this resource situation international trade in fish products have been increasing for a long time. An export tax on fish and fish products, as an alternative...
It is helpful to keep the stability of aquatic product supply chain and promote higher development of fishery economy to research power structure of aquatic product supply chain. This paper analyzes the power structure of aquatic product supply chain via the behavior theory in marketing discipline, cased study by Beijing...
The fish market has a long tradition in economic literature. Many authors refer to it when they want to investigate the organisation of exchanges, whether from the point of view of equilibrium or disequilibrium. This market constitutes a kind of economic paradox in the sense that, in many cases, first...
Some recent studies have shown the outstanding price linkages at the global scale between the cannery-grade
tuna markets over the last decade. When it comes to price transmission along the European value chains, opposite results between the two major species (skipjack and yellowfin) are found: the market for final goods...
As compared to other countries, France has been involved very lately in the discussion about fisheries ecolabelling. Reluctant to adopt the existing ecolabels, the professional organisations, the Ministry of
food, agriculture and fisheries and the European Commission itself tend to create their own label guidelines to take into consideration other...
Fishery barometer surveys economic prospects and trends of fishery enterprises in Finland. The enterprises are divided into fishing, aquaculture, processing and the wholesale or retail trade. Since year 2000 the enterprises have been asked to evaluate their economic parameters, such as financial standing, turnover and investments. The present situation is...
The processing industry is playing an increasingly important role in Vietnam’s overall economy. A study on the restructure in this sector across the Coastal Central South has demonstrated the dominating part that middlemen are taking in connecting the supply, represented by fishers and farmers, to demand, represented by processing enterprises....
The first purpose of this study is to consider the mediators-involvement and attitudinal loyalty-in the relationship between satisfaction and repurchase loyalty toward fish. In addition, the antecedents of the
theory of planned behavior are included to compare the relative role of satisfaction, social norms and perceived behavioral control in forming...
This study couples landings, import data and other factors in a statistical framework to explore the determinants of bottomfish pricing in Hawai'i - in particular, for seven deep water species in the snapper
and grouper complex - using monthly data from 1996 to 2006. This research concludes that bottomfish pricing...
Although the share of total fish supply which is traded internationally is fairly stable, the patterns of trade flows are in constant change. China and Viet Nam are increasingly emerging as processors and suppliers of value-added products to world markets, but also within the world’s various regions new players are...
By analysis of the aquatic products market in China, the following characteristics are found. The total volume and proportion of the aquatic products consumption have been increasing gradually. The proportion of oceanic halieutics in total aquatic products and the proportion between oceanic products and freshwater products have decreased annually. The...
An understanding of the structure of price volatility is of great interest since this is a major contributor to economic risk in the salmon industry. The volatility process in salmon prices was analyzed based on weekly price data from 1995 to 2007. The Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model was...
Both the physical volume and economic value of trade in seafood products among countries on the Pacific Rim have grown steadily in recent years. Concurrently, the distribution of production and the composition of products have changed. Regional economic accounts such as IMPLAN do not provide bilateral information on trade, and...
The rapid growth of crocodile farming in Cambodia has created a domestic market for snakes as a food supply that operates alongside the international trade of skins and live animals. In times of fish scarcity small-scale fishers living on Tonle Sap Lake participate in what has been shown to be...
Under the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSRA), US fisheries management councils must specify an annual catch limit (ACL) for each managed species and institute accountability measures (AMs) to ensure that actual harvest will not cause the stock to be overfished. While the details of implementation are still being developed, a set...
While indicators and assessment frameworks are being developed for ecosystems, and tools for determining the economic status of a fishery are readily available, integrated assessment tools are still mostly lacking. However, the development of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management requires the monitoring and assessment of exploited ecosystems in all...
This paper addresses to a comparative approach of long term changes in the characteristics of marine fisheries at a regional scale, in three ecosystems: up-welling, tropical and temperate. The South Moroccan
continental shelf, under the influence of the Canary current, where up-wellings take place, is the most productive part of...
Developing an allocation scheme for distributing rights amongst fishing nations remains one of the major obstacles to the development of stable cooperative arrangements to exploit international fish resources.
A great deal of effort has been devoted over the years to finding a durable solution to the allocation problem, both at...
