This study investigates the sustainability of shrimp stock in the trawl fishery in the Tonkin Gulf, Vietnam. It is a small scale and multi species fishery. The Verhulst-Schaefer and Gompertz-Fox surplus production models are applied. There are two shrimp spawning seasons in a year in the Gulf. Therefore, in this...

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...

At first, a paper which explores "wellbeing" in fisheries might seem misplaced. Our attention is more often focused on the poverty with which fisheries are so inherently associated and the threat of growing poverty as fishers, worldwide, face depleted fish stocks and a rapidly changing coastal environment. As this panel,...
Great efforts have been made in order to manage the fisheries more sustainably, but so far, most of these efforts have failed. This is putting the welfare of current and future generations at risk. The fishing fleets have catching capacity that well exceeds the rate at which ecosystems can produce...

Many fisheriues in Vietnam have witnessed notable reductions in catch and fish size. Given the millions of Vietnamese who are dependent on marine resources, it is critical to not only develop more sustainable
fisheries management practices, but also understand the links between vulnerability and other socio-economic and institutional factors, in...
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,...
In this paper, we study recovering processes for fisheries facing crisis or over-exploitation of a marine renewable
resource. We examine how to restore resource stocks and modify the economic characteristics of the fleet in order to
put on a sustainable exploitation system, near of some maximal standard as the Maximum...
This paper examines the eleven year Department for International Development funded Fisheries Management Science Programme as a model to explore how fisheries management science can contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It describes how the Programme strategy was able to adapt to a changing policy environment and local needs...
The role of market incentives in supporting the move towards sustainable seafood production is increasingly being demonstrated in the real world although the level of documentation is relatively poor. Market demand is strongest in western Europe where the greatest effort has been made by organisations such as the MSC to...
Fishing involves the act of hunting for fish by hooking or trapping and may also include pursuing other aquatic animals by extension. However, modern fishing is both a recreational and professional sport in communities with natural and man-made water bodies. Recreational fishing involves fishing for pleasure or recreation and it...
Society has agreed on the goal of sustainable fisheries but achieving the goal is often submerged by more
immediate national and international demands causing fisheries to slip down the political agenda or diverting attention to other fisheries issues, e.g., profitability under high fuel prices. Among the problems
challenging marine capture...
Developing country fisheries serve many functions, from feeding the poor, sustaining local communities and providing employment to generating export earnings. Yet, despite their importance, most countries have largely failed to ensure sustainable fishery systems and livelihoods for the millions of people dependent on them. Classically, management has concentrated on the...
An integrated coastal management plan has become an increasingly important tool to accommodate coastal resource utilization that is multisectoral in nature. The idea of adopting this strategy comes from the fact that coastal resources consist of various valuable assets that should be utilized in a sustainable fashion. This paper emphasizes...
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...
