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...
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...
While accurate information about developments in the fisheries of the former USSR is somewhat difficult to obtain, certain trends have been remarked on by Russian, Baltic State[1], and international observers, and some data is available to support them. The objective of this research is to collect, assess, crosscheck, analyze, and...
In this paper, the estimate of the productive efficiency for some Italian fleet segments is proposed. The estimate is based on a Stochastic Frontier Production (SFP) function and a Data Envelopment Analysis frontier (DEA) using micro data of fishing vessels. The essential random nature of the fishing processes under consideration...
