Climate change is generally agreed to be one of the biggest challenges facing the world today, and Australia is no exception. Marine fisheries productivity and distribution is predicted to change with ocean warming. Here, I will examine the economic consequences of climate change on the Australian fishing industry. I will...
Tilapia exports to the US have been claimed to double in the last three years following the two bans on
Vietnamese catfish imports in November 2001 and June 2003. The aim of these bans was to restrict
imports from the major exporter of Catfish (Vietnam) reducing competition for US catfish...
Tilapia is one of the fastest growing aquaculture species in the world. It is produced and consumed in all continents and in more countries than most other species, making the market more heterogeneous than for other successful aquaculture species such as salmon and shrimp. This paper investigates the degree of...
Climate change is expected to impact the productivity of wild and farmed fisheries worldwide. These impacts will vary by region and consequently affect differently the supply to markets. Market driven interactions between fisheries from different regions and between different target species means that changes in supply from one region or...
This study investigates the economic impact to fisheries and associated sectors if wild fisheries continue operating to
2030 without considering the effects of climate change. Estimates of climate change impacts in Australian fisheries
and their associated probability distributions were derived from the literature and expert consultations. An Input-
Output model...
In this paper, we are concerned with the very general notion of
a universal algebra. A universal algebra essentially consists of a set
A together with a possibly infinite set of finitary operations on. A.
Generally, these operations are related by means of equations, yielding
different algebraic structures such as...
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...
The Australian coral reef fin-fish fishery (CRFFF) on the Great Barrier Reef has been managed under ITQs since 2004. A large number of different reef species (>155) are covered by the management plan, but the primary species in terms of value and volume landed are coral trout and red throat...
My thesis examines perceptions of power in relation to white and black masculinity in the United States. The introduction invokes the work of Mireille Miller-Young, Hortense Spillers, Vincent Woodard and Hiram Pérez as a foundation to ground my discussion of agency, consumption, desire, homoeroticism and the characteristics of the Mandingo,...
