With the decline of main predators whose habitat is confined to continental platforms, the growth in fishing demand and new technologies has caused the expansion of fisheries towards areas which are increasingly deeper. Globally, the quantification and evolution of catches worldwide as well the expansion of deep-sea fisheries have been...
Vietnam is the peninsular country and lying in the area of monsoon tropical climate therefore has very diversify and abundant and valuable fish resources. Since long time ago the fisheries resources in natural water bodies (as in dams, rivers, lake, canals, sea) have been concerned as common property (and is...
The official catch records generally are carried out in the landing operations. There three categories of fishing that are not included in landings; illegal, unreported and unregulated catch (IUU) and are considered like lack of information. It is necessary, to consider these categories of fishing to know the true impact...
Eritreas Coastal Marine and Island area covers more than 121,000km2, include over 350 offshore islands and 1,350km of coastline (18% of the Red Sea continental coastline) not including the islands. The total coastal mainland population is 73,000, and only ten out of all the islands are inhabited with a total...
The push for ecosystem based management has opened up not only for including more of the natural
systems when managing fish resources, but also a broader perspective on the human systems, and the
diverse activities in the sea. This is reflected for instance in the EU Maritime Policy where fisheries...
The “product” travel cost model (PTC) improves supply and substitution specification in travel cost
models (TCM), eliminating common biases in estimating welfare effects of qualitative changes at specific
sites. Angling sites and participation are modeled as a system of product supplies and demands; changes
in angling quality at specific sites...
Fisheries co-management as an alternative to centralized command and
control fisheries management is often suggested as a solution to the
problems of fisheries resource use conflicts and overexploitation. Various
researchers have talked of the importance of studying the role of
transaction costs between different institutional arrangements for managing
fisheries resources....
This paper is based on a review and assessment of lessons from three
projects on fisheries co-management in Bangladesh: i) Community-based
fisheries management (CBFM), ii) Management of aquatic ecosystems
through community husbandry (MACH), and iii) Fourth Fisheries Project
(FFP). These co-management initiatives established 191 Community Based
Organizations (CBOs) in 179...
Thousands of small man-made water reservoirs (water bodies with water surface
from five to some hundreds ha) have been developed in mountainous regions for water
supplying or hydroelectricity purpose, these areas are usually residence of poor,
backward minority groups which often lacks of food supplying resources. Development of
fisheries (both...
