The paper reviews the management and bioeconomic modeling of the Southern Bluefin Tuna
stock. It describes two studies using simultaneous, non-cooperative, three player games to predict
revenue and stock outcomes generated by a deterministic, discrete, age-structured model of the
SBT population. Two versions of the model, corresponding to biological and...
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...
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...
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....
Substitution and elasticity give about the history of supply and the demand structure for fish and seafood. It is also relevant to the detection of change in a particular exploited marine ecosystem. The purpose of this paper is to test if market elasticity of substitution of seafood categories can further...
Introduction Tuna is one of the worlds most traded and sought after species
of fish. The global tuna market is worth in the region of $6billion and
annual catch volumes of around 4 million tonnes. The tuna supply chain is
global and it is broad and complex involving multiple stakeholders....
U.S. imported 2.3 million metric tons of smoked herring in 2007 costing $707,000. Hence it is important to investigate factors influencing the importation of smoked herring into the US. We used time series data from 1976 to 2007 to estimate an import demand function: log(Mt) = a0 + a1*log(Pt) +...
The Scophthalmus maximus is the main aquaculture species of the flatfish
in China, but the stagnant market is one of the bottle-neck problems the
industry confronted with. Which are the reasons to influence the
Scophthalmus maximus market? How to further expand the market? The
paper takes the basis of the...
DOGMATIS is a research project funded by the French Research Agency (ANR, programme ANR-OGM 2007-2010). The transgenic technologies have been applied to fish since more than 20 years now and some strains are at the premarket or market stage in countries outside Europe. In Europe the main risk is a...
A group of 75 children from 3 to 5 years old from the earliest stages of a Spanish school were the target
of an experimental test focused on the consequences of providing information about safety and fisheries
sustainability on their preferences when choosing between different seafood presentations and labels.
Both...
