Collaborative management of subsistence fisheries in the Philippines requires policies that devolve authority to the local level. This involves creating mechanisms to hold managers accountable for creating opportunities for active participation by fisher folk communities. The Philippines has created a comprehensive national framework for the co-management of coastal resources at...
Many nations that invest in aquaculture and fisheries for improved nutrition and food security are located in areas prone to natural disasters, such as typhoons. While all residents are vulnerable to the effects of disasters, research suggests that women are disproportionately affected at all stages of disaster management: preparedness, response,...
A theoretical framework for economic fishery management was
developed. Extensive isocline analysis of a general fishery model
yielded a detailed look at the possible equilibrium behavior of a
system that was allowed to vary in terms of the levels of its
environmental parameters, its composition, and the response functions
governing...
Many commercial fisheries around the world experience spatial
coexistence of species and imperfectly selective harvesting gears. This
makes these fisheries multi-product industries, that often harvest multispecies
or have a bycatch of another (maybe also valuable) species, which
may or may not be target species for another fishery. Traditional game
theoretic...
In the economic literature on fisheries management complete information
is normally assumed. In reality fishermen have more information than the
regulatory authority. In the present paper a principal-agent approach is
applied to analyse management with a tax on fishing days under
asymmetric information about the skill of fishermen (productivity) and...
For proper utilization of Tal wetland ecosystem through natural resource
management and for updating production system through the integration of
fish-crop diversity and its proper implications to its farmers level through
modernizing adaptive technologies as well, IT system, a composite
zonewise TOT programmes (use of natural resources, farm demonstrations,

In order to provide a rationale and mechanism for implementing responsible fisheries in practice, this paper examines the effect of establishing Regional Fishery Management Organisation (RFMO) with effective enforcement on cooperative possibilities in shared fisheries. The result shows that an increase in cooperation level is a social welfare improvement, and...
Co-management has attracted considerable attention around the world, including in Vietnam. However, debates on the concept of community-based management (CBM), co-management (COM), and community participant management in Vietnam are increasing, and the abundance of projects in Vietnam has now become a major constraint. Although most pilot co-management projects are recorded...
Since MSC certification of the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea pollock fisheries in the U.S., anecdotal evidence suggests that products from these fisheries have benefited in the marketplace relative to products
from the Russian pollock fishery. In particular, a testable hypothesis is that certified U.S. pollock has achieved a...
