This research analyzes the effects that a redistributive fishing quota policy, within a collective rights quota assignment system, might have on the profits and employment of artisanal fisher organizations. The Chilean authorities have been pursuing a deliberate quota redistributive policy between ship-owners of different vessel categories. This policy has affected...
Self-management has been recognized as important in successfully governing the common pool resources. This is no exception in fishery. Fishery cooperatives, where fishermen collectively manage the fishery, are garnering much attention from both regulators and academics. In this study, we aim to empirically disentangle the efficiency mechanism of pooling system....

The artisanal fishery in Senegal is characterized by composite biological, technological economical dynamics in interaction. A computer model of the exploitation is presented to study the relationships existing between resources, production, trading, consumption (dynamic approach). The model is developed using a systemic approach. The computer transcription utilizes multi-agent formalism (artificial...
Being a country located in the west of BIEN DONG (the South China Sea) with more than 3,260 km of shore line, about 3,000 large and small islands, more than 100 estuaries and about one million km 2 of EEZ, Vietnam is considered as a country in rich of marine...
Like most other coastal water bodies around the world, this Thailand’s largest bay on the Andaman
seaboard has suffered the similar plights that have led to serious deterioration of coastal resources over
the years. Despite its natural wealth derived from the fertile watershed and tropical climatic settings,
Thailand’s modern economic...
In 2011 the FAO Committee on Fisheries tasked FAO with the development of an international instrument in the form of guidelines for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries (SSF Guidelines). The SSF Guidelines will facilitate the empowerment and mobilization of stakeholders to promote change towards sustainable small-scale fisheries and hence facilitate the...
Foreign investment in the sub-sector of fisheries in Indonesia was begun in the early 1970s. Most part of the money was invested for fish capture by providing fishing boat and its equipments. Few if any were invested for fish processing industries and marketing. The result was small-scale fishing unit which...
During process of seeking methods of advanced fishery management experience to apply into small-scale fishery in Thua Thien Hue – Viet Nam, the author is surprised that some advanced countries also apply similar methods that the traditional fishing village associations (Van Chai) has been managed fishery activities in lagoons in...
Developing country producers represent more than 80 % of total world fish supply and 50% of exports. A large part of this comes from small-scale producers in capture fisheries and aquaculture. In the discussion of the future role of the small-scale sector the debate has often focused on how the...
About 8000 fishers are operating today in the Lake Nasser’s fishery (Egypt) and the annual official landing varies between 12,000 and 15,000 tons. Despite this relatively modest importance, the Egyptian authority decided to embark in a reform of the Lake Nasser fishery in the early 2000s. The objective of the...
Small-Scale Fisheries constitute 81 per cent of the total fisheries sector in India.It has been playing a pivotal role in providing employment, income and nutritional security to a vast majority of India's population. But, this sector remains neglected and the fisherfolk who depend on it remain socially and economically backward....
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...
The small scale fisheries are generally unknown over the world due to a crucial lack of data, and particularly costs and earnings data. This is also true for the European fisheries while vessels less than 12 meters represent almost 75% of the total European fleet. Faced to the increasing price...
In this paper we develop an index of economic vulnerability which we use conjointly with a more
conventional measure of income poverty to explore the different dimensions of poverty (transient, chronic, vulnerability) that affect fishing communities in developing countries. We illustrate the potential uses of this method with cross-sectoral data...
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...
This paper provides an overview of ongoing work undertaken in Senegal to understand the implications of fisheries certification on the octopus value-chain. It analyses the opportunities to increase social and
economic benefits for poorer groups and to establish a more gender sensitive approach to eco labelling through the implementation of...
Small-scale fishing communities in South Africa were recognised for the first time in 1998, when the Marine Living Resources Act, aimed at redressing apartheid era inequalities, was enacted. Government's primary intervention has been to issue annual individual permits, wherein Government defined the technical parameters for the fishers to operate as...
This paper focuses on the consequences of managing small-scale fisheries without consideration of geographical differentiation in reproductive potential through a species range. Because fishing costs
increase with distance, the alternative port locations are predicted to have substantially different impacts on biological and economic performance variables when there are no spatial...
One of the most important issues discussed in Nigeria today is that of women participation in agricultural development. This is because of the important role played by them in national
development and most needs of any developing nation of the world today. This study focused and examined gender inequalities issues...
