  • Growing the seafood sector: Technical change and innovation

    Creator:
    Sharp, Basil and Jeffs, Andrew
    Abstract:
    The scope for fishing firms operating in an output controlled fishery, with tradable rights, and facing world prices, to augment profit is limited inter alia to a search for alternative input configurations that lower harvesting costs. This paper provides evidence of technical change in the New Zealand rock lobster fishery....

  • Artificial reef investment: an assessment of information needs in the analysis of project risk

    Creator:
    Whitmarsh, Davide
    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...

  • Focus! it's the consumer that counts: new perspectives on the role of consumers in aquaculture decision making

    Creator:
    Young, James A., Muir, James F., and Smith, Andrew P.
    Abstract:
    In developed country markets, the consideration of consumer wants has not been prominent hitherto in aquaculture production decisions. Like capture fisheries aquaculture has been product driven. This supply-side focus reflects an emphasis upon technical solutions to the production and capacity problems of high unit value (HUV) species culture. Whilst this...

  • Russian and Baltic states fishery developments

    Creator:
    Shriver, Ann
    Abstract:
    While accurate information about developments in the fisheries of the former USSR is somewhat difficult to obtain, certain trends have been remarked on by Russian, Baltic State[1], and international observers, and some data is available to support them. The objective of this research is to collect, assess, crosscheck, analyze, and...

  • A Bio-Economic Simulation Model for the Italian Fisheries

    Creator:
    Accadia, Paolo and Spagnolo, Massimo
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a new bio-economic simulation model for the Italian fisheries developed as a part of a project financed by The General Directorate for Fisheries and Aquaculture (under the Italian Ministry of Forestry and Agriculture Policies). The main objective of the model is to measure the effects of different...

  • Flatfish 2.0: virtual reality or a useful management tool

    Creator:
    Dol, Wietse
    Abstract:
    The last three years RIVO-DLO and LEI-DLO have developed a bio-economic simulation model for the Dutch beam trawl fishery. At the VII th IIFET conference in Taipei (1994, Taiwan) some preliminary results were presented and at the 4th EAFE bio-economic modeling workshop in Edinburgh (1995, United Kingdom) the final model...

  • Issues in monitoring fisheries management performance

    Creator:
    Campbell, David, Stokes, Adam, and Brown, Debbie
    Abstract:
    Market failure in open access fisheries usually results in economic losses, because the most efficient means of harvesting fish resources are not used, and because fish resources are not allocated to the use with the highest social marginal value. In efficient, competitive markets, pricing mechanisms would ensure the optimal allocation...

  • Economics of small-holder fish farming in Africa. A case study from Malawi

    Creator:
    Steward, J. Alan
    Abstract:
    The global aquaculture industry has seen dramatic growth over the last two decades, and is forecast to become increasingly important into the next century. The aquaculture output, of the African continent, however, remains low at about 4% of the total. There is a perception of failure where donor assisted projects...

  • The economics of size selective harvesting - the case of Barents Sea cod fisheries

    Creator:
    Andreasson, Stefan and Flaaten, Ola
    Abstract:
    Gear technologists have, in recent years, developed rigid sorting grids, Sort-X, in bottom trawls, to improve the size selectivity of this type of gear. Experiments with the Sort-X system in the aft sections of trawls were carried out aboard Norwegian and Russian trawlers along the coast of Northern Norway and...
