Creator:: Revell, B. J. and Pascoe, S.
Abstract:: Generalised linear estimation and multi-layer perception neural network modelling techniques were applied to the Scottish trawler fleet data in order to estimate which inputs have the greatest impact on boat profits and output. Both produced comparable estimates that revealed inelastic and non-linear response to vessel power and length, negative response...

Creator:: Cook, B. A.
Abstract:: Atlantic salmon aquaculture is a growing industry in the Bay of Fundy on Canada’s Atlantic coast. The vast majority of aquaculture sites are concentrated in a relatively small coastal region of the province of New Brunswick (NB) where the industry is viewed as a major component of regional economic development....

Creator:: Ajao, A. O., Williams, S. B., and Idowu, E. O.
Abstract:: Non-radial measure of technical efficiency of fish farms in Oyo State was examined using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Use of the non-radial measures to calculate overuse of inputs by inefficient fish farmers was demonstrated and the potential for reducing inputs used by improving efficiency was evaluated. Ordinary Least Square (OLS)...

Creator:: Holland, Daniel S.
Abstract:: Although widely accepted, management systems that directly restrict catch or effort are neither efficient nor desirable for many fisheries, and have failed to conserve fishery stocks in many cases. Fisheries scientists have suggested that closing part of the fishery with marine reserves may sustain or increase harvest. These marine reserves...

Creator:: Massey, Edwin and Rees, Eugene B.
Abstract:: This paper examines the constitution of 'sustainable management' within the context of the New Zealand marine environment. Firstly this paper examines the difference between 'sustainable ecosystems' and 'sustainable utilisation'. The distinction is important if we are to make sense of the different ways in which various stakeholders (fishers, fisheries companies,...

Creator:: Al-Oufi, H. S.
Abstract:: Factors influencing the emergence of collective action are studied using survey data from individual boat owners from Barka, Masn’a and Suwaiq. Fishermen who adopt a cooperative strategy tend to be more risk averse and have high economic dependence on the common property resources. Social identity as a fisherman also appears...

Creator:: Massey, Edwin and Rees, Eugene B.
Abstract:: This paper contends that stakeholders represent New Zealand fisheries through a sustainable fisheries imaginary. Stakeholders use the imaginary to legitimise sustainable utilisation. The imaginary is built using a series of calculative practices that constitute a measurement system (or metrology), that shape regimes of control. This imaginary is made manifest through...

Creator:: Emami, Ali and Johnston, Richard S.
Abstract:: Most trade literature is concerned with gains from free trade under the assumption that traded goods are produced under complete property rights. Seldom have researchers examined the consequences of free trade in the presence of incomplete property rights over renewable natural resources. In this paper, we explore these consequences. In...

Creator:: Davies, Helen and Jaddawi, N. S.
Abstract:: This paper presents the findings of a field survey carried out within small scale fishing communities on the island of Zanzibar in 2004. The study was designed to assess the impact of the Menai Bay marine protected area on the livelihoods of fishing households located within its boundaries using the...

Creator:: Anderson, Christopher and Holland, Daniel S.
Abstract:: When several new species are introduced into the New Zealand Quota Management System in the near future, some of the quota, or single-year annual catch entitlement (ACE), will be tendered through competitive auctions rather than allocated based on historical catch. This study uses a laboratory experiment calibrated to a representative...
