Aquaculture is increasingly important for the future supply of fish because of steadily increasing demand while supply from fisheries is stagnating. In the EU aquaculture production has grown strongly in some countries, such as Spain and Greece, but was flat at a low level in others, such as in Germany,...
Obesity is achieved at the point where fat accumulation begins to exert deleterious effects on an organism. The human body accrues fat when there is an energy imbalance occurring, where caloric intake exceeds expenditure.Many anti-obesity drugs used in the past have had undesirable side effects, and currently there is a...
The paper documents the discrepancy between prices of permanent quotas traded directly between fishing firms and implicit price of quotas as reflected in the price of fishing firms that are publicly traded. An overview of earlier attempts to explain the discrepancy is given. It is suggested that priceformation in market...
The prices of Finnish salmon and aquacultured rainbow trout have dropped to a new all-time low in 1995. The price, in real terms, the fishers were paid for domestic salmon in the beginning of the 90's was only one fourth of what it had been in 1980. This price decline...
Despite the global clamour for the eradication of child labour in agriculture, children in developing countries continue to be prominent actors in the fisheries sector though their contribution is unrecorded in the national income accounts of many countries. The study examined the involvement of children in artisanal fisheries in Ondo...
When fishers can avoid detection and/or sanctions for violating fisheries management rules, the fisheries enforcement problem becomes substantially more complicated. A number of issues immediately pop up. First, the effectiveness of enforcement effort is reduced. This, ceteris paribus, reduces the optimal enforcement effort. Second, the impact on the fishery of...
The efficiency analysis literature has long acknowledged the difference between program/policy effects and relative efficiency effects. The use of incentive compatible policy has been an important research agenda for fisheries economists, and Canada uses an array of policies and regulatory tools to fulfill the objectives of their Fisheries Act. One...
At the request of library administration, an investigation was undertaken to assess the status of the current federal depository program, OSU Libraries' history with the program, advantages and disadvantages of OSU's continued participation supported by evidence of document usage (both circulated and in-house use) in the last 3-5 years, the...
The sandfish catch in the coastal waters off Akita Prefecture has fluctuated largely over the last 40 years. It began to decrease in the middle 1970s, and in 1991 it heavily depleted by 70 tons, which corresponds to less than 1% of the catch in the 1960s. The Fisheries Cooperative...

To help these users debug these programs, we have developed an entirely visual, interactive approach to fault localization. This paper presents the approach. We also present...
Seafood consumption has been traditionally very important in Spain (about 36.5 kg per capita
consumed in 2003). Hake (merluza) is the main fish species consumed in quantity and value
terms in Spain. But commercialised as hake can be found several fish species and presentations.
When many papers focus on product...
The nations of the world confront complex challenges in managing fisheries resources in the 21st century. While attention focuses on the need for new institutional ideas, designing and implementing effect governance may be imperiled by inadequate investment in the human capital needed to lead, innovate, and manage. Economics, which integrates...
Le future du secteur de la pêche en Andalousie doit être analysé dans le contexte d'une stratégie de développement régional liée a une économie de plus en plus mondialisée.
l'union européenne, d'où l'Andalousie en fait partie, veut-elle être productrice de poisson, ou bien, exclusivement une commerçante des produits pêcheurs? la...
Participation of community groups is one of the main requirements for culture-based fisheries (CBF) in
non-perennial reservoirs of Sri Lanka. Homogeneity of the group characteristics facilitates to arrive at
collective decisions. And as such can be considered as positive feature for development of CBF. In this
paper an attention made...
Nearly 75% of the stocks in the waters of the European Union are overused. Therefore, recovery programs
are both necessary and urgent. However, the decisions made by the fisheries ministers rather seem
to prolong the overuse situation instead of putting an end to it.
From an overall perspective, it would...
Finland became a member of the European Union (EU) in 1995. After that the food market has changed radically. At the same time the eating away from home has become increasingly common. The aim of this
paper is to describe the development of fish consumption in the Finnish catering service...
The Social Sciences Branch (SSB) of NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) uses economic data to estimate the economic impacts of fisheries regulatory actions. Since 1995, the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program has collected trip cost information from commercial fishing vessels on which observers have been deployed. However, the allocation of...

The documentation of methods consisted of: primary data collection of soil samples, geographical coordinates, georeferencing, basemap creation, laboratory machine operation, laboratory methods, laboratory quality control planning, statistical analysis, and geo-statistical analysis using...
Traditional productivity measures have been much less prevalent than other measures of economic and biological performance in fisheries economics. It has been increasingly recognized, however, that modeling and measuring fisheries' production relationships is central to understanding and ultimately correcting the repercussions of externalities and poorly designed regulations. We use a...
The animal protein intake in Nigeria is grossly insufficient yet the retail price of fish is rising. Market intermediaries, alleged to charge excessive and unjustifiable marketing margins (MM), are often blamed for this. This study examines this allegation using data from 225 sun-dried fish traders classified into three groups. Data...
Outputs and inputs during 1994-2006 in the USA Northeast Multispecies (groundfish) fishery—including days fished for a group of 47 otter trawl vessels fishing out of New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA—were analyzed to test the hypothesis that restricting the annual days-at-sea (DAS) of individual fishing vessels increased Technical Efficiency (TE). The results...
Shrimp farming in Thailand is considered to be one of the main causes of mangrove deforestation. The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, however, posits that economic development eventually reverses resource degradation. This hypothesis is examined using pooled data on mangrove loss and Gross Provincial Product (GPP) from 23 provinces in...
In spite of being one of the leading fish exporters, fishery resources in Thai waters had been degraded. Increasing fuel cost reduced a number of commercial fishing vessels in Thai waters. While trawl was the main fishing gear for commercial fisheries, their main catches were trash fish for fish meal....
The origin of hornblendite and other mafic mineral-rich veins found in Cretaceous plutonic rocks from the Northern Cascades is currently not well known. This study seeks to investigate the possible relationship between host plutonic rocks and hornblendite and pyroxene-rich veins by comparing the chemical compositions and petrographic features between the...
The current study investigated the way in which gender of a character and the presence or absence of a male stereotype affect the perceived masculinity of said character. Forty undergraduates from Oregon State University completed a questionnaire rating the masculinity of one of four possible characters – one male without...
In the United States, rates of youth vaping are alarmingly high. In 2018, the U.S Surgeon General declared youth vaping as an epidemic (Truth Initiative, 2019a). However, LGBTQ+ youth are disproportionately affected. In 2017, current e-cigarette usage in youth was 13.2% among heterosexuals, but was 17.5% in LGBTQ+ youth (CDC,...
Many forest products companies in the southeastern United States store large volumes of round-wood under wet storage. Log quality depends on maintaining a high and constant wood moisture content; however, limited knowledge exists regarding moisture variation within individual logs, and within wet decks as a whole, making it impossible to...
The ability of natural and synthetic hinokitiol, as well as a water soluble derivative (hinokitiol sodium salt), to protect wood against fungal attack was examined. Synthetic and natural hinokitiol provided similar protection. All three materials exhibited similar antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Penicillium citrinum on yellow poplar wafers at...
The ability of selected plant extracts from wood and foliage to inhibit mold regrowth on fungal colonized wood was evaluated on Douglas-fir sapwood. Most foliage extracts produced some inhibition of Graphium or Trichoderma species, but isolations of other fungi increased following treatment. Five out of eight wood extracts produced 50%...
The U.S, Forest Service regularly removes tons of dead biomass from federal forestlands to control and prevent devastating wildfires. Every year thinning young trees and brush, as well as removing dead biomass from the forest floor generates large quantities of low-grade woody material for which there is little use. Currently...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether knowledge
beneficial to an organization operating under normal conditions could
be gained by studying a manufacturing plant operating with salaried
personnel during a labor strike. It was hypothesized that no difference
in productivity would exist between the strike work force study...

Multispecies fisheries pose a considerable management difficulty with respect to quota allocation between species. The applicability is to single vessel and its individual quotas, as well as to the fleet as a whole. Negative externalities may be created if Total Allowable Catches (TACs) are not set in optimal proportions. That...
