Abstract
  • Small pelagic fishery is one of the socio-economically important fisheries in Morocco. In 2010, it accounts for more than 80% of the total landing weight, corresponding to approximately 0.17 billion €. Considering this fishery’s large contributions to employment, trade, transportation and processing industry, sustainable development of this fishing sector is aimed as part of national vision (Halieutis strategy, 2010). In order to analyze the economic performances of Moroccan coastal seiners, we examined, for 128 coastal purse seiners, the most likely dominant economic indicators by boat. Reference year was 2011. The costs of coastal seiners can be divided into two main categories: the first category is the common costs supported by the ship-owner and the crew members. It includes all costs directly related to the fishing activity, especially: fuel (36%), social security levies (38%) and production taxes (14%). The second category is related to costs borne only by the ship-owner. It includes all annual costs relating mainly to the insurances (46%) and repairs (31%). The costs of this second category are taken after deducting the common costs and the share due to the crew (60%). We found that the economic performance of studied vessels can be influenced by size, structure operation costs and destination of landings and their profitability rate (net benefits/capital) is in average 5.17%.
