Economic performance indicators are needed in order to improve fisheries policy in Vietnam. The
research project “Revenues and Costs of Fishing Vessels in the Nha Trang Area” has been established to
meet these needs. A questionnaire about technical characteristics and economic data of vessel and gear
in use in the...
The Baltic fishery is managed under the European Union Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) which defines procedures for setting annual total allowable catches (TAC) for major commercially harvested species. TACs are given as fixed shares to each member state by applying the principal of relative stability. Poland uses non-tradable individual vessel...
The Traditional Management of Artisanal Fisheries in North East Nigeria project (TMAF) has been funded by British Overseas Development Administration (ODA) to investigate the possibilities for designing a more effective management system for fisheries of the Sub-Saharan Savanna region using a community-based approach. The need for a new approach is...
Inland fisheries in Mexico represent a source of protein, income and employment, for rural communities. Although the most consumed fish in the country are fresh water fishes in the national statistics they only account for 3% of the total fish catch volume (marine fisheries account for 97%). Demand is higher...
Ghana's coast is identified with artisanal fishers who use wooden carved canoes and traditional fishing gears. However, little study has been conducted to assess the performance of this industry in terms of its efficiency. This study aims to analyse the technical efficiency and its determinants of the artisanal fishers in...
We investigate the effects of incorporating a fixed input on equilibrium profits and biomass. We first set up a theoretical model with an input that is fixed in the short-run (vessel size) but that can be used with a variable input at suboptimal capacity. We use this model to get predictions for...
The study examined profitability of aquaculture production in Ondo State, Nigeria. Specifically, it examined socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and determined costs and returns of the respondents. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 96 respondents and structured questionnaire administered on them. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics...
Theory suggests that fishing effort would be allocated among various fishing grounds such that profit levels would be equal. Homogeneity among fishers as well as perfect information is assumed and profits are opportunistically increased by changing fishing locations. These assumptions have been shown empirically ins some single fisheries where fishers...
In this study we have considered the theoretical aspects of Global Value Chain and empirically validated the concepts by taking up a case study of Kerala in India. We have initiated this study with the hypothesis that, the evolving stringent food safety standards imposed by the export markets of developed...
