A rapid increase in the Thai trawl and push net fisheries had led to over fishing and thus fishery resource degradation. Catch per unit effort decreased from over 300 kg/hr in the past 30 years to less than 20 kg/hr recently. The impact has placed a greater burden on coastal...
Fisheries nationwide are facing major challenges that require collection of real time (RT) and near real time (NRT) information. High-resolution RT and NRT data are critical for addressing a variety of fishery needs including quota accounting, observer coverage, bycatch management, electronic logbook and fish ticket requirements, research and monitoring, spatial...
Being a country located in the west of BIEN DONG (the South China Sea) with more than 3,260 km of shore line, about 3,000 large and small islands, more than 100 estuaries and about one million km 2 of EEZ, Vietnam is considered as a country in rich of marine...
This presentation provides an introduction to the FAO-World Bank Rent Drain Study. The objective of the study is to present the story of the world's depleted and overexploited marine fisheries in economic terms.
The study develops an economic justification at the global level for restoring the health of fish stocks....
In agriculture there has been a long history of using a levy or an insurance premium to create mutual funds to mediate economic risks to growers due to environmental variability and quarantine pests. In the United States the federal government, through the USDA, continues to underwrite funds (collected by private...
The South China Sea separates East Malaysia from Peninsular Malaysia that is consisted of two big states; Sarawak and Sabah. The marine resources of peninsular Malaysia have been adequately explored in last few decades whereas East Malaysian marine fisheries resources are still potential to be explored. The fisheries sector of...
Trends in key fisheries indicators are presented to provide the context for a profile of the economic health of the world's marine fisheries. Estimates of the economic value of global marine fishery production and costs of production are used as inputs to an economic model to derive a range of...
For decades, the management of the Dutch flatfish fishery has included a variety of measures including individual transferable quotas (ITQ) and the implementation of a co-management system without succeeding in recovering the fishery to sustainable levels partly because of the multispecies aspect of the fishery with the two main commercial...
Since 2006, French quotas are shared out into annual catch entitlements per producer organizations (PO) according a stable allocation key. On this basis, PO’s have imposed catch shares to their own members but allocation and management rules are heterogeneous between PO’s. The objective of the paper is i) to assess...
In multi-species fisheries managed under ITQs, the existence of joint production may lead to complex catch-quota balancing issues. Previous modelling and experimental research suggest that, in such fisheries, some fishers may benefit from the ability to trade packages of fishing quotas, rather than fulfill their quota needs by simultaneously bidding...
