China accounted for over 8 percent of world exports by value in fish and shellfish in 2002. Over the period 1998-2002 it rose from 4th to 2nd largest amongst exporting countries. Yet, there has been surprisingly little analysis of the trading performance and international competitiveness of China in world fish...
The eastern Georges Bank haddock resource is shared and managed by the U.S. and Canada through a transboundary resource sharing agreement. This agreement includes an annual process for joint stock assessment, setting of a TAC, and harvest shares for each country. The resource sharing agreement provides a mechanism for establishing...
The rural Bangladesh is still poverty prone, the distinction between fisher and non fisher life in rural area is prominent; this is due to limited access right of rural fisher to common properties like waterbodies.

Over half of Bangladesh comprises of floodplains and most of the surrounding households depend on these floodplains for their livelihood. However, these floodplains remain unused during the monsoon season due to the lack of proper management systems. The WorldFish Center implemented an action research project through a Community Based Fish...
Quota management systems (QMS) provide faith-based incentives for individual quota holders to conserve the resource voluntarily; quota holders expect the system to work and to be enforced and their expectations are usually realized despite imperfect incentives and significant enforcement burdens. Even with QMS there is never an individual incentive to...
In many of the developing countries fish export is a significant source of foreign exchange earning that helps to stabilize macroeconomic indicators and provides nutrition and food security to the poor people of these countries. However, performance of fish export of these countries depend on, among other things, continued access...
In early spring, spear squids (Loligo bleekeri) lay their egg capsules on top of hollows in reefs and cavities in structures of Hokkaido ports on the Sea of Japan. Therefore, the role of port structures is important for propagation of spear squid. Research on the spawning conditions of spear squids...
NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) was a key participant in the FAO technical and policy-level consultations of 1991-1999 that led to the FAO International Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity. The U.S. Plan of Action includes a commitment to prepare regular assessments of overcapacity in federally-managed...
Climate change and continued fishing pressure threaten to increase recruitment variability for many stocks globally. Shifts in the inter-annual stability of an exploitable renewable resource may have dramatic consequences for the industries and communities which depend upon them. In this talk, the link between resource volatility and industry structure is...
Le Maroc compte quelques 1000 Km de rivières salmonicoles 60.000 ha de retenues de barrages, 80 lacs colinéaires et d'importantes pêcheries d'anguille, de civelle, de palourde et de crevette. Hormis les eaux à aloses qui ont été gravement affectées par différentes formes de dégradation (déforestation, surpâturage, pollution, érosion etc...) et...
We empirically disentangle the efficiency mechanism of revenue sharing, in which a group of harvesters shares catch and/or revenue among members of a fishery cooperative, by incorporating the influence of social capital. In addition to each of revenue sharing and social capital influencing a fishery independently we hypothesize social capital...
This paper provides a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) assessment model for a single gear, multi-species fishery in South Korea. To estimate appropriate Allowable Biological Catch (ABC) of mackerel and jack mackerel caught by the large purse seine fleet in the territorial waters of South Korea, the model uses an extended...
Ashurar beel, an open perennial capture fishery of 400 ha, and located in north west Bangladesh was familiarized as indiscriminant and uncontrolled fishing by in-migrant people before being brought under Community Based Fisheries Management project in 1996.

This paper analyzes the behavior of fishing households under individual transferable quotas (ITQ) system based on Singh, Squire and Strauss household model. ITQ system is sought to be the optimal fishery management regime in terms of economic efficiency. However, preceding theoretical analyses only considered implementing ITQ to a well established...
Sustainable aquaculture can be achieved when risk and uncertainly are incorporated in the analysis of the activity. This paper presents a precautionary approach to the feasibility analysis of a project for a commercial hatchery, applying decision theory. Two production scenarios were assessed, continuous and periodic, the later a combination of...
The rapid pace of climate change and increased human disturbance of ecosystems in the Arctic is bringing urgency to concern over non-native species introductions and their potential threats to the marine environment and its economic productivity, where before environmental conditions served as a barrier to their establishment. The same characteristics...
An integrated coastal management plan has become an increasingly important tool to accommodate coastal resource utilization that is multisectoral in nature. The idea of adopting this strategy comes from the fact that coastal resources consist of various valuable assets that should be utilized in a sustainable fashion. This paper emphasizes...
