  • Development of Ports and its Impact on Marine Fish Production: A Critical Study of Gujarat State (India)

    Creator:
    Asthana, Anjani and Kulkarni, Vilas
    Abstract:
    Gujarat, a major maritime state, has 20 percent coastline and accounts for 10 per cent of fish production of India. Recently, the government of Gujarat has placed a special emphasis on the development of ports with an objective to explore the opportunities of trade through the ports. The government plans...

  • Global Drivers and their Implications for Developing Country Fisheries

    Creator:
    Hall, Stephen and Allison, Edward
    Abstract:
    Developing country fisheries serve many functions, from feeding the poor, sustaining local communities and providing employment to generating export earnings. Yet, despite their importance, most countries have largely failed to ensure sustainable fishery systems and livelihoods for the millions of people dependent on them. Classically, management has concentrated on the...

  • Assessment of Tonkin Gulf Fishery - Vietnam Based on the Bio-Economic models

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Long and Nguyen, Ba Thong
    Abstract:
    During 1986-2006, fisheries in Tonkin Gulf had made rapid development. Total engine power increased 11.6 times while total catch only increased 2.9 times. Big increase in number of fishing boats has resulted to the overexploitation in near shore waters since 1995 and this situation has been spread out all over...

  • A Bioeconomic Model using a Stage Population Matrix for the Northern Prawn Fishery in Australia

    Creator:
    Valle de Souza, Simone, Cacho, Oscar, and Gondro, Cedric
    Abstract:
    The Northern Prawn Fishery is one of the most valuable fisheries in Australia with a yearly estimated value of production of about $64mil. Nine prawn species are commercially harvested from the Northern Prawn Fishery with 80% of annual average catch represented by the banana prawn (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis) and the tiger...

  • Making Ecolabelling relevant to the developing world

    Creator:
    Leadbitter, Duncan
    Abstract:
    The role of market incentives in supporting the move towards sustainable seafood production is increasingly being demonstrated in the real world although the level of documentation is relatively poor. Market demand is strongest in western Europe where the greatest effort has been made by organisations such as the MSC to...

  • Discontinuous Sustainable Yield: The Exception or the Rule?

    Creator:
    Arnason, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    The sustainable yield function is a favoured tool in fisheries policy making. Normally, this function is drawn as a continuous curve in effort-yield space. This means that sustainable yield (harvest) is gradually reduced to zero as fishing effort increases. This, however, does not have to be the case. The sustainable...

  • The Artisanal Hilsa Fishery: economically Efficient Fisheries Policy

    Creator:
    Mome, Masud Ara and Arnason, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    The hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha) fishery is by far the largest single species fishery in Bangladesh. In this paper, a simple bio-economic year-class based model is developed to describe the fishery and examine its properties. With the help of this model, the optimum sustainable yield of the fishery is calculated...

    Abstract:
    Recently the ecosystem based management have been dealt with in management as a useful approach for fisheries. The goal of ecosystem-based management are sustainable management of fisheries and other marine resource through establishment of well-managed network of marine protected areas. Despite a number of benefits from marine reserve such as...

  • Lessons from traditional fisheries management

    Creator:
    Rathnaweera, Erwin and Gunasekara, Jayantha
    Abstract:
    Relentless overfishing, illegal and unreported catches, environmentally damaging fishing methods and unwanted by-catches are some of the challenges to fisheries management. Community based fisheries management and co-management are believed to be effective methodologies to bring about sustainable utilization of fisheries resources. Interestingly, indigenous resource management practices among small scale fishers,...
