This document summarizes a large volume of information obtained during an assessment of the environmental resources and probable effects of operation and maintenance projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on those resources. Much of the information is contained in “Volume II: Operation and Maintenance of the Channels and...

Many fisheries management agencies struggle with developing management frameworks that can deliver sustainable
fisheries. Over fishing, by-catch of non-target fish species, marine mammals, seabirds, and damage to benthic
habitats remain serious problems. Management methods based on traditional command and control approaches may
meet with initial successes yet additional progress is...
The global aquaculture industry has seen dramatic growth over the last two decades, and is forecast to become increasingly important into the next century. The aquaculture output, of the African continent, however, remains low at about 4% of the total. There is a perception of failure where donor assisted projects...
Traditional extensive coastal and semi-intensive aquaculture systems in Southern Europe are facing difficulties, especially due to increased competition for coastal areas uses and market competition, due to low-price products from intensive aquaculture. The positive effects of extensive and semi-intensive aquaculture in coastal areas - including environmental protection and restoration in...
In industries that are characterized by frequent innovations and high productivity growth, substantial variation in both produced quantity and input use may occur and lead to increased cost. As both excessive input use and misallocation of inputs are costly for the producer, firm-specific measures of both technical and allocative inefficiency...
Balanced feed represents approximately 60 % of production costs in fish culture and ration size has significant effects on this parameter. Ration size varies according to culture strategies and producer knowledge. It can also have environmental implications since feed can be a pollutant. A bioeconomic model was developed for an...
After decades of decline, real salmon prices paid to California fishermen have rebounded in the past few years. This recent price recovery is probably due in part to reduced availability of fresh salmon in local
markets, but anecdotal evidence suggests increased product differentiation by consumers is also an important part...
This pilot study maps the structural changes in the Icelandic fisheries sector from 1990 to present, from the general to the specific. The background is the radical and substantial changes in the structure of harvesting, production and processing; in the export activities and marketing in Icelandic fisheries. The main characteristics...
