Key decision variables in aquaculture management are stocking level, feeding schedule, temperature
control and batch length. In many management problems with an infinite planning horizon, the aim is to
find the batch length which results in maximum return if the same batch length applies to all future
batches. This may...
Considering the operational needs on fisheries management, this research was aimed for understanding the adjustment processes of small-scaled fishing gear dynamic by measuring and analysing the seasonal fishing gear dynamic including seasonal fishing pattern and fishing gear interaction. To understand the fishermen's adaptation of their fishing effort from any changes...
The data represent 48-state USA weather and climate data (both site and gridded), biological phenology (developmental) models, combined with photoperiod response (diapause inducing sensitivity to short daylengths). The example data sets are specific to a single insect biological control organism (a leaf beetle introduced to control purple loosestrife, an invasive...
This study couples landings, import data and other factors in a statistical framework to explore the determinants of bottomfish pricing in Hawai'i - in particular, for seven deep water species in the snapper
and grouper complex - using monthly data from 1996 to 2006. This research concludes that bottomfish pricing...
In many fisheries, the harvesting pattern shows considerable intra-year variation. These fluctuations give
challenges for downstream firms in value chains where predictability and continuity in the flow of production are important. Seasonal harvesting may well be rational from an economic perspective, as migration patterns can give huge variations in catch...
Main objective of this paper is to investigate current issues of the development of Culture-Based Fisheries (CBF) within the existing legal frame work. The experiences of CBF activities from 2003-2004 in five administrative districts in Sri Lanka have identified two main issues for the development of culture- based fisheries such...
