The intermediate market for raw fish is characterized by time and space considerations that create significant
quasi-rents between the fisher and the initial processor(s) approached to complete an exchange. This “temporal specificity”
is more pronounced the fewer the number of alternative potential buyers, the more perishable the catch and the...
Main research question: The aim of the study was to investigate how health perception, eating habits and
socioeconomic pattern influence choice of seafood. Materials and methods: A randomly drawn sample of Norwegian women
aged 45 to 69 years answered a self-administrated mail questionnaire about eating habits, socioeconomic status, and
questions...
On behalf of the Linus Pauling Institute, I am pleased to welcome you to this conference and, in particular, to the sessions on the Health Benefits of Seafood Consumption. It is our pleasure to be a co-sponsor of these sessions and I look forward to the presentations by the distinguished...
The evidence for a protective role of omega
3 fatty acids in CHD is becoming clearer and firmer,
especially for secondary prevention. Intakes of
approximately 800-1,000 mg per day appear to be a prudent
approach for the latter group of patients. The safety of
intakes of up to 3,000 mg...
From merely being cod liver oil taken for vitamins A and D, fish oils have moved into the center stage of fatty acids in nutrition. The analytical work starting in 1950 provided the means to recognize the long-chain and truly essential n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids vital for retinal, neurological and...
Due to declines in stocks, restrictive management plans, and imports of whole groundfish from Canada, the supply
of whole fresh Atlantic groundfish to New England processing plants (landings plus whole fresh imports) declined by 75%
since its peak in 1983. These reductions in supply of Atlantic groundfish put severe pressure...
The US North Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) fishery is one of the most controversial cases of renewable
resource exploitation. Public management of this resource has resulted in substantial public debate. Bluefin tuna is also
considered a culture-specific product, as it is almost exclusively consumed uncooked in Japan. Bluefin tuna...
In this paper, we examine the problems inherent in the export-oriented tuna industry taking the Philippines and Indonesia as examples. Although problems are reduced to the depletion of or possible depletion of tuna resources, we intend to clarify the industry structure that may have led to such local depletion. Though...
Individual Vessel Quota (IVQ) management provides geoduck harvesters in British Columbia with a greater stake in
the fishery, by enhancing certainty of harvest access to the fishery. IVQ management has encouraged harvesters to become more
interested in the economic and environmental sustainability of the fishery and less in developing strategies...
Selecting ‘optimal’ strategies to manage Oregon ocean shrimp is challenged by uncertain and variable natural mortality,
recruitment, and growth. Fishery management is focused on measures to prevent long-term biological damage to the stock,
to protect age-1 shrimp from overharvest and to sustain long term fishery benefits. Developing harvest strategies such...
This paper reviews the history of fish marketing in Japan. The Japanese experience is rich in terms of long history, species handled, products forms, cooking methods, ways of utilization, and interaction with domestic fisheries. Along with the change of people's life style from hunting to farming, marketing and trade have...
Dietary advice to the public about fat consumption has consistently emphasized the reduction of total fat,
saturated fat and cholesterol. Against a background of conflicting and changing messages about how much and what type of
fat to consume, updated messages have emerged that emphasize the fatty acid profile of the...
The n-3 fatty acids have important
effects to modulate and prevent human diseases, particularly
coronary heart disease. Their effects upon the brain later in
life to prevent certain disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease
are unknown but are certainly worthy of study. Certainly the
evidence is now very strong that the...
The increasing demand for shark fins in Asia and the shark s life history pattern of slow growth, late maturity, and
few offspring, have generated concerns regarding the sustainability of shark resources. Despite this concern, little effort has
been spent on understanding the markets for shark fin products and the...
This study examines the status of women and their contributions to the fishing industry in West Africa with a particular emphasis on Nigeria. The existence of varied fish resources in the region can play a significant role in the nutritional and economic well being of the people as it relates...
Les importations de poisson jouent un rôle prépondérant ans l'approvisionnement de la population camerounaise en matière de produits de pêche. Avec près de 12 millions d'habitants pour une croissance de 3,2 %. la demande globale de poisson plafonne autour de 200 000 t par an alors que la production locale...
L'Union européenne est considérée, à juste titre, comme le premier marché mondial et la premier région importatrice des produits de la mer. En 1994, elle a importé environ 2,9 Millions de tonnes de produits de la pêche (conserves comprises) pour une valeur totale de 7,5 Milliards d’ECU[1]. Ce marché qui...
