A series of session stakeholder presentations will address the current status, challenges, needs and future perspectives for implementation of management and ecological / economic assessment of data poor fish stocks and fisheries in management advice. This covers methods, simulation models and management strategy evaluation (MSE) tools to conduct assessment and...
We previously developed a spatially explicit, individual-based model (IBM) evaluating the bio-economic efficiency of fishing vessel movements between regions according to the catching and targeting of different species based on the most recent high resolution spatial fishery data. The main purpose was to test the effects of alternative fishing effort...
Maritime spatial planning and fishery management are likely to generate extra costs for the fisheries by constraining fishermen activity with conservation areas and new utilizations of the sea such as offshore windmill parks. Growing concerns for greener and energy efficient fisheries are also likely to alter existing fishing patterns already...
Quantitative fish stock assessment methods have become increasingly complex. However, the quality of available data may still restrict their applicability, being a particular concern in data-poor situations and where management decisions rely on either commercial fisheries or scientific survey data. In this study we address this issue by proposing a...
This study compares globally available integrated ecological-economic models with focus on use and implementation in scientific and advisory contexts. The Ecosystem based Approach to (Fisheries) Management (EAM) calls for an understanding and management of fisheries and other uses of the marine environment that explicitly take into account ecological, economic and...
Production in the aquaculture sector is often associated with pollution and as being harmful to the environment. Trying to change that reputation and stimulate growth, a new more environmental friendly method of production has been developed and introduced in Danish fresh water trout farms. The purpose of this paper is...
This study examines price formation of the internationally traded salmon futures exchange. The results show that the futures market price provides the expected role of leading the spot market price. Further, the futures market is efficient but hindered by the presence of risk premium that biases the forecast ability. The...
Pangas is a relatively new and fast growing fish species, which has shown great potential in the Bangladesh aquaculture sector. However, large output variability is observed from farm to farm and from different locations, which may indicate that production risk and inefficiency is a problem in pangas farming. This study...
The lack of selectivity in many fisheries may lead to discards and bycatch. Discards of under-sized or non-commercial species/individuals represent damage to the eco-system, an additional source of overfishing and a waste of resources. Bycatch may increase fishing pressure on species targeted by other fishermen. The purpose of the paper...
Ecosystem based fishery management has moved beyond rhetorical statements calling for a more holistic approach to resource management, to implementing decisions on resource use that are compatible with goals of maintaining ecosystem health and resilience. Coupled economic-ecological models are a primary tool for informing these decisions. Recognizing the importance of...
