Creator:: Lindebo, Erik, Hoff, Ayoe, and Vestergaard, Niels
Abstract:: The use of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been proposed as a possible tool to enable the measurement of fishing capacity worldwide. In fisheries the DEA approach has been limited to measuring physical capacity, where capacity is defined as the maximum amount of output that can be produced per unit...

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:: 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:: 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:: Bavinck, Maarten and Monnereau, Iris
Abstract:: Theorists and modelers have made significant progress in defining ecological and economic parameters for measuring the 'costs' of fisheries. The social dimensions of such universal exercises, however, have barely been worked upon. This is a serious omission. In the context of the EC-funded ECOST programme, a group of social scientists...

Creator:: Wright, Christopher Stephen and Gould, Robert
Abstract:: Enhancement of British-Columbia-to-Alaska Transboundary Rivers is a vast potential prize to all concerned. However, despite funding commitments in the Pacific Salmon Treaty, that program is at great risk of always being more potential than real. The cooperation needed to make this program work has been and continues to be grievously...

Creator:: Isaksen, John R. and Dreyer, Bent
Abstract:: The supply of raw material to the Norwegian fish processing industry has always fluctuated heavily, both as far as volumes and quality are concerned. These fluctuations have had major impact on planning of for instance product mix and production capacity. Thus, sea farming has been considered a promising alternative source...

Creator:: Vista, Arvin and Norris, Patricia E.
Abstract:: Stakeholders of the Taal Lake fish cage industry face the challenge of producing fish in a situation of frequent fish kill occurrences, which have been attributed to the deteriorating water quality due to nutrient pollution from fish cages. This study estimates the cost-effectiveness of nutrient pollution reduction options. Fifty operators...

Creator:: Corkett, Christopher
Abstract:: If a scientist can predict the weather (poorly) Why cannot he predict fish yields (yet more poorly)? – a clerihew by Chris Corkett. Recent long term historical studies of commercial fisheries have pointed to a well established pattern of overfishing. Under the principle of transference – what is true in...

Creator:: Tingley, Diana and Pascoe, Sean
Abstract:: Technical efficiency (TE) measures the relationship between a vessel’s inputs to the fishing process and its outputs, with full efficiency being achieved when outputs are maximised from a given set of inputs. Inputs can be physical (e.g. the vessel, gear, engine, onboard equipment, etc.), flexible (time spent fishing, size of...
