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)...

Abstract:: Differences in technical efficiency of fishing vessels are often attributed to skipper skill and differences in technology. While the later can be defined in terms of the technology employed, the former is more difficult to quantify. In this paper, the contribution of technology and skipper characteristics (e.g. level of education,...

Abstract:: Recent increases in the volume of canning grade tuna caught in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) has led to concern about the increasing catching capacity of the fleet of purse seine vessels operating in the fishery. In this paper Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to examine the...

Abstract:: The objective of the paper is to briefly present a comparative analysis of trends in the characteristics of selected European fleets, observed over the last fifteen years, as an introduction to three empirical studies of the behavioural determinants of these trends. The analysis presented aims at (i) describing changes observed...

Abstract:: This paper sets out an evaluation of profitability differentials within shellfish farming activities of the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. The objective is to examine whether profitability differentials have consequences in terms of economic dynamics and of management arrangements. The paper divides into four parts. The first part presents a retrospective analysis of...

Creator:: Franquesa, Ramon
Abstract:: The Fishermen Guilds in Spain (Cofradias) have around one thousand year tradition. They play a central role in the control of the fishing rights in special in the context of coastal fisheries. The paper examines the mechanisms to establish property rights, the quality of these rights and the cost and...

Abstract:: Overcapacity situations appear regularly in the activity of marine natural resource exploitation. The measure of capacity utilisation and allocative efficiency for fishing vessels is an approach that can determine the details of that overcapacity. On the one hand, DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) methodology can be used in the case of...

Abstract:: The use of artificial reefs in the creation of commercial and recreational fisheries has received growing attention in recent years, and artificial reef development programs are now being undertaken by a number of countries worldwide. Despite a substantial volume of scientific information on the technical and biological aspects of artificial...

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:: Cox, Anthony
Abstract:: Why are fisheries policies so hard to reform? While there are many examples of successful policy reform in the sector, these tend to be restricted to a few countries or individual fisheries. There remains significant scope for further reform to address pressing economic, environmental and social issues in the sector....
