Assuming externalities from aquaculture to fisheries, we use a Verhulst-Schaefer model of fish
population-dynamics and production, coupled with an aquaculture production model, to investigate
effects on open-access and rent-maximising fisheries. Externalities are modelled by letting carrying
capacity, intrinsic growth rate or catchability coefficient in the fishery depend on aquaculture production....
Aquaculture worldwide has grown rapidly, and while this has brought socio-economic benefits to particular regions there is persistent concern over its environmental impact and sustainability. Within Europe there are quite marked regional variations in the intensity of marine aquaculture, and the fact that this occurs in areas where there is...
The incorporation of fisheries commodities into the International Food Policy Research Institute’s (IFPRI) International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) model suggests that demand for fisheries products will rise faster than supply over the next two decades, and that fishery commodity prices will rise relative to...
Open Educational Resources (OER) are increasingly used
in the higher education landscape as a solution for a variety of
copyright, publishing and cost-prohibiting issues. While OERs are
becoming more common, reports of usability tests that evaluate how
well learners can use them to accomplish their learning tasks have
lagged behind....
The 865 ewe production records taken from three lamb crops, were
analyzed to study breed effects, heterosis, environmental effects and
interactions between them, and breed and heterosis x environment interaction
effects on ewe production traits. In each of two environments,
approximately 144 ewes were mated in a three breed reciprocal...
Extensive research has been devoted to evaluating potential
genotype-environment interactions. However, plant breeders are still in
need of a simple way to describe how genotypes respond to different
locations and years. In an environmentally diverse state like Oregon,
significant genotype-environment interactions do occur The resulting lack
of association between actual...
The fishery sector, including capture, aquaculture, processing and suportive services, plays an important role to the whole economy of Vietnam. Total aquatic production of the country increased about 3 times after 15 years, from 1.02 million tones in 1990 to 3.43 million tones in 2005. The growth of aquaculture production...
To keep pace with growing demand, wild fisheries are subject to high pressure. An increasing trend in the percentage of overexploited, depleted and recovering stocks is observed since the mid-1970s. In contrast, the aquaculture sector has been the fastest growing food industry since 1970. It has become a substantial source...
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can be considered as one of powerful conservation tools of fishery resource management in the literature. However, due to continuing environmental awareness and mismanagement, the Philippine government has decentralized the power of legislation and management of its MPAs since the early 2000. This encouraged participation of...
