With the decline of main predators whose habitat is confined to continental platforms, the growth in fishing demand and new technologies has caused the expansion of fisheries towards areas which are increasingly deeper. Globally, the quantification and evolution of catches worldwide as well the expansion of deep-sea fisheries have been...
This paper is aimed at studying the relationship between marine environmental conditions and purse seine anchovy fishery of Alboran Sea through a stock-recruitment model using an historical data set of anchovy fishery in the Northern Alboran Sea that covers two decades from 1985 to 2005 and the HadISST and Era...
The National Park Veracruz Reef System was declared a marine protected area by the Mexican government in 1992. It contains 23 reefs presenting different degrees of environmental deterioration mainly due to the influence from nearby rivers, its proximity to the port city of Veracruz-Boca del Río and the currents patterns....
Throughout the world the landings of capture fisheries are declining and this is not because the fishing nations are managing their resources better but because of the non-availability of the fish species. The reduction in capture fisheries is a wakeup call for the nations to undertake Aquaculture development.
Though Namibia...
The relationship between annual growth in the catches of fishing nations and the quality of the institutions of those nations is analyzed. Catch volumes are used as a proxy for development, since economic performance indicators based on a common set of definitions do not exist. 49 major fishing nations were...

Since one of the themes of this conference is to develop a better understanding between the seafood and economic communities, I thought I would address how markets and management influence each other.

The “Lake Chad” is one of the world, largest and most historical Lake located in the Sahel region of
Africa (lat. 12:30 N to 14:30 N and long. 13:00E to
15:30 E ) which is one of the most vulnerable regions
to climate change bordering North-Eastern Nigeria,
North-Western Cameroon, South-Eastern...
Establishing marine protected areas (MPAs) often results in fishers being
displaced from at least some of their existing grounds. A direct
consequence of this is that governments may be required to make
compensatory payments to the firms that are affected. Experience has
demonstrated that these payments can be significant, as...
