The Lower Mekong Basin (LMB) is shared by Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia and Vietnam and provides a range of natural resources and services which are important to the national economies (e.g. water for hydro-electric power) and also to the livelihoods of the people (e.g. fishing and farming opportunities) in the...
The majority of monitored fish stocks globally is fully or over exploited, that is, at or below their maximum sustainable yield stock levels. Despite this resource situation international trade in fish products have been increasing for a long time. An export tax on fish and fish products, as an alternative...
This paper identifies economic institutions related to the small-scale craft fishery in southern Sri Lanka, and assesses their importance for the livelihood of the fisher households as well as for resource conservation. Income from small-scale craft fishing is generally uncertain because of seasonality and uncertainty of the marine fish resource,...
The Mekong River Delta plays an essential role to Vietnam’s economy in terms of both rice and fish production. Annual flooding water and a rich level of aquatic resources strongly affect about 10 million
local people, as well as extend beyond the boundaries of wetland itself. Flooding water and wild...
The community based for the fisheries resources management project (CO-FISH-Project) in Bengkalis is a coastal development project to improve the living standard of coastal community in this region. Over all project activities including resources and ecology assessments, social economy assessment, establishment of suitable fisheries resources management, community based fisheries resources...
The rapid growth of crocodile farming in Cambodia has created a domestic market for snakes as a food supply that operates alongside the international trade of skins and live animals. In times of fish scarcity small-scale fishers living on Tonle Sap Lake participate in what has been shown to be...
In many situation, fishing activity adversely impacts the state of the marine ecosystem, impacts which feed back to affect fish stocks. Some ecosystems appear to have multiple equilibria and exhibit hysteresis, whereby they can become stuck in low productivity states. We show how adding ecosystem dynamics to a classic fisheries...
According to the UN's Food and agicultural organisation (FAO, managing fishing capacity is a core elemnt to aceive sustainable fisheries. Here, FAO highlight the long term need to avoid unprofitable overcapacity; an adaptation which increase the pressure on fish resources, fisheres are marginalized economically, allocation conflicts among fishermen and high...
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...
Efficient management of small-scale fisheries resources demands adequate human and financial resources. This mainly relates to research and enforcement activities. Despite the resource constraint, the state has assumed the role of managing the fisheries resources. The emerging global trend, however, recommends cost recovery systems for sustainable fisheries management to achieve...
Are Marine Protected Areas positive for adjacent fisheries? This is a study of the technical efficiency of small-scale trawlers in Nha Trang, Vietnam following establishment of Nha Trang Bay Marine Protected Area (NTB-MPA) that imposed a trawl ban to protect marine biodiversity and regenerate fish stocks. Data were collected through...
According to conventional economic wisdom the economically more efficient technology will always outcompete the less efficient. This hypothesis has usually been taken to hold for the exploitation of common pool renewable natural resources such as fish stocks. This paper claims that, while this is not necessarily false, it may be...
Developing an allocation scheme for distributing rights amongst fishing nations remains one of the major obstacles to the development of stable cooperative arrangements to exploit international fish resources.
A great deal of effort has been devoted over the years to finding a durable solution to the allocation problem, both at...
