Organic aquaculture was first introduced in Vietnam by VASEP in 1999 and determined by the Government of Vietnam as an strategic direction for development of sustainable and responsible aquaculture. Through a
cooperation arrangement between VASEP and the Swiss Import Promotion Programme (SIPPO), the first organic black tiger shrimp farm was...
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...
Adverse conditions hit particularly hard on small-scale fisheries and fishermen involved. Recent sharp rise in fuel cost is battering such fisheries already struggling from declining stocks and harvests. The threat of economical sustainability can potentially undermine the entire effort for achieving sustainable fisheries, and for this reason energy saving measures...
This study examines income generation potential and resource- use efficiency of aquaculture farms in Nigeria. A total of 120 aquaculture farms were sampled. Using gross margin (GM) analysis, the result shows that, all the sampled farms were able to cover their total operating expenses with an average GM > 200,000...
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...
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...
Fisheries are increasingly important in the world with growing demand for fish in China, Western, African and Asian countries. Many people depend on fisheries and will be benefited from fisheries. Many governments took fisheries promotion policies after the 1970s when the UN 3rd Law of the Sea Conference developed. However,...
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,...
Khanh Hoa, featured by advantageous conditions from both nature and humans, has long enjoyed great potentials for fisheries development. The most immediate evidence can be cited is that the fisheries industry
made significant contributions to the local economic growth during the recent period of 2001- 2006, and impressive figures in...
