Adapting man, as an organic link, to closed loop control
systems, is increasingly presenting problems to designers of
systems of any nature. Performance of the human in the systems
is dependent upon a multitude of recognized factors, and
many as yet unknown factors and variables.
In order to investigate the...
Today, decentralization and democratic participation are presented as necessary conditions to achieve poverty alleviation and ensure the sustainable use of our diminishing natural resources. In small-scale
fisheries, similar ideas predominate and decentralization has become the new management paradigm through the concepts of community-based and co-management. In this paper, we present...
This article gives insights on the complex balance between coalitions structure,
resource state or dynamics and agents’ heterogeneity to avoid bio-economic
collapses. A model bringing together coalition games and a viability approach
is proposed to focus on the compatibility between bio-economic constraints and
an exploited common stock dynamics. It is...
This paper deals with the sustainable management of a renewable resource
based on individual and transferable quotas (ITQs) when agents differ in terms of
harvesting costs or catchability. In a dynamic bio-economic model, we determine
the conditions under which the manager of an ITQ system can achieve sustainability
objectives which...
The coastal fishery in French Guyana is a challenging case study for the implementation of the ecosystem based fishery management. Although the current situation of this small scale fishery could be considered as satisfactory, the viability of the fishery can be questioned. Indeed according to demographic scenarios, the growth of...
IIFET 2008 awards recognizing Distinguished Service Award, Best Student Paper Award, Aquaculture Best Student Paper Award, Vietnam OECD Best Policy Paper Award, Vietnam JIFRS Yamamoto Award, Aquaculture Professional Travel Award, and Secretariat Special Support Award.
This paper provides summaries of presentations at a special session of IIFET 2012 that explored the potential value of a ‘wellbeing’ approach in small-scale fisheries, drawing on insights from the Governing Small-Scale Fisheries for Wellbeing and Resilience project. The research aimed to apply wellbeing concepts to both better understand fishery...
The incorporation of fisheries commodities into the International Food Policy Research Institute’s (IFPRI) International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) model suggests that demand for fisheries products will rise faster than supply over the next two decades, and that fishery commodity prices will rise relative to...
