This study uses hedonic price approach to investigate how price of mussel is formed. The model uses 8896 observations (transactions) from auction market in Yeserke, the Netherland. The results show that product attributes such as meat content, size of the mussel, time and location of harvest are important information determining...
This study analyzes supply and demand system for the mussels in the EU
markets. The results show that farmed and wild quantity of two main
species of mussels, Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis, have
declined in recent years due to limits of seed and space. However, a
demand system analysis...
This study extends Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to investigate the motivation to consume fish in a representative survey of Vietnamese individuals. The emperical study is based on using the structural equation approach to test construct valitidy of measures and the emperical fit of theoretical model. The results show that...
During 1986-2006, fisheries in Tonkin Gulf had made rapid development. Total engine power increased 11.6 times while total catch only increased 2.9 times. Big increase in number of fishing boats has resulted to the overexploitation in near shore waters since 1995 and this situation has been spread out all over...
This study applied brand choice model and stated preference data collected in French context by means of choice experiment to investigate value of intrinsic and extrinsic attributes of various fresh seafood species. The estimated models show that the extrinsic attributes (i.e. product forms, production method, and product origin) and intrinsic...
Demand structure and market segmentation for seafood have been investigated intensively. However, most the researches so far applied traditional demand analysis and descriptive segmentation approach by separated models. The traditional demand analysis assuming consumer homogeneity, behavior consistence, and using aggregate data may result biased estimation, while the segmentation based on...
The long history of the van chai system of Vietnam began several centuries ago with their establishment mainly in the lower and middle reaches of rivers northern Vietnam and in coastal lagoons in Central Vietnam, whereas those in marine embayments, like Ha Long Bay, and in enclosed coastal areas, like...
Southwest Atlantic (SWA), corresponding to FAO Area 41, covers a total surface area of 17.65 million square kilometres. It spans from 5°N latitude off the coast of Brazil, to 60°S latitude off the coast of Argentina. Most of the area is classified as High-Seas, defined by the Convention of the...
Unlike the North and the South where abundance of freshwater, the marine capture fisheries is underdeveloped, the Central Coast, especially South Central Coast with little freshwater fisheries resources, but high amount of shrimps, fishes at sea, thus local fishermen have exploited this resource for living early. Together with this living...
