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...
In 1995 North Sea herring was estimated to have declined from previous high of around 1.5 million to 400,000 tonnes, the point at which significant reduction in recruitment had previously been observed. The response to this was to cut the fishery by reducing the human consumption TAC by 50% and...
A Seafood Environmental Management Systems manual (SEMS) has been developed by Bord Iascaigh
Mhara (The Irish Sea Fisheries Board) in conjunction with the Irish fishing industry to encourage
fishermen to adopt an environmentally conscious, responsible and compliant approach to their business.
The documented risk-based SEMS approach developed is essentially a...
Worldwide, the scientific community and international organisations have
gradually agreed on the need for an ecosystem-based approach to fishery
management. However, the practical implementation of such an approach
faces huge problems, especially in developing countries where current
fishery management systems are generally weak.
One way to improve a fishery management...
Since the seventies, the Malagasy fishery sector management has been
oriented by three paradigms: development, rationalization (looking for
economic efficiency) and attempts of sustainable development (to reconcile
economic, social and conservation goals). The institutional and legal frame
of the marine sector has been characterized by many transformations linked
to the...
In the mid-90s the Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organisation
(CSIRO) funded a social science (economics) research trip to the Gulf of
Carpentaria. The objective of the trip was to observe and model
commercial fishing patterns in the NPF, and develop an all encompassing
model for describing fleet dynamics in the...
Management of fisheries and aquaculture is an issue that has received widespread attention in
the literature. The particular concern is the relationship among fishermen, fish farmers,
management institution and fish resources. This relationship is very important for sustainable
development of sea resources in Iran. Overfishing, uncertainty in fish availability and...
Managed fisheries are frequently structured on a sector by sector basis with each sector defined by the type of user or use, for example commercial, recreational and indigenous sectors. Management arrangements for a sector, however, may not be formally integrated with those for other sectors. Consequent competition between sectors for...
We empirically estimate the effects on management outcomes in common-pool resource
management into three: the direct effect of management systems, the direct effect of social
capital, and the indirect effect of management systems and social capital interacting each other to influence the outcomes. In particular, we focus on revenue sharing...
