This is a study of the income sources of the fishermen who live along the coast and earn their livelihoods by exercising traditional fishing activities. The small-scale purse seiners in two fishing communities in the province of...
Economic indicators are needed for future knowledge-based fisheries management in Vietnam. This entails a good data collecting and processing system. This paper contributes to this requirement for the tuna-mackerel gillnet fishery, near-shore and offshore, in Nha Trang, South-Central Vietnam. For 2005 and 2006 fifty vessels were surveyed for technical characteristics,...
The first purpose of this study is to consider the mediators-involvement and attitudinal loyalty-in the relationship between satisfaction and repurchase loyalty toward fish. In addition, the antecedents of the
theory of planned behavior are included to compare the relative role of satisfaction, social norms and perceived behavioral control in forming...
