  • Economics and the Resumption of Commercial Whaling
    WORKSHOP IN POLITICAL THEORY AND POLICY ANALYSIS 613 NORTH PARK INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON, IN 47408-3695 U.SLA, Economics and the Resumption of Commercial Whaling by Jon Conrad and Trend BjomdaT The authors are Professors at Cornell University and the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, respectively. Economics and the Resumption of Commercial Whaling ,..,„.. , :vr<; *Yi ABSTRACT " X •"•,'/! .1;>'A7; • There is now strong scientific evidence that several species of baleen whale and possibly the sperm whale, have recovered to levels that would support commercial harvest. The stock of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) off the eastern coast of Iceland and the minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in the Northeast Atlantic, off the coast of Japan and in the Southern Ocean are prime candidates for commercial harvest. Should commercial whaling be resumed? If so, what role should economics play in determining the level of harvest and management policies? A bioeconomic model for baleen whales is developed and applied to the stock of minke whales in the Northeast Atlantic. A delay- difference equation is used to model the population dynamics and an exponential production function is estimated relating harvest, to population size and the number of catcher vessels. If whaling is resumed, the optimal stock size and harvest may critically depend on the price-cost ratio and catcher productivity. We identify plausible combinations of price, cost and productivity where whaling is not optimal and the minke whale population in the Northeast Atlantic equilibrates at about 82,000 adult animals. Under a high price-cost ratio and high catcher productivity, the optimal stock ranges from 51,000 to 59,000 whales supporting a harvest of 1,600 to 1,750 whales by 90 to 115 catchers.

RAVINDRANATHAN Central Institute of Fisheries Education Versova, Bombay-400 067. ABSTRACT The knowledge and skill of the poople are important tools for the development of natural resources and for the prosperty of any country. The quality of education is judged not only from the inquistiveness and knowiedge it can impart but also from it's usefulees in meeting the urgent economic problems of the country. Vocational Courses in fisheries are offered in four states. The technologies in fisheries developed offer good scope for Vocational training for self employment. There is an urgent need to have radical revision of the course content to make the students vocationaliy competent. FISHERIES EDUCATION — STATE OF ART : Recognising the need to study, assess and develop the fishery resources of the country, Govt. of India established the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) Cochin; Central Inland Fisheries Risearch Institute (CIFRI) Barrackpore, Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (CIFI) Cochin and Deep Sea Fishing Station, Bombay soon after the Independence. Since then, the fish production trend in the country has been encouraing. The annual fish production has increased from 0.5 million tons in 1950, to 2.6 million tons in 1983. Although the rate of increase has been fairly good, the per capita consumption of fish, even now, is less than 5 kg/yr.

  • Economic Incentives and Overfishing: a Bioeconomic Vulnerability Index
    Vol. 530: 223–232, 2015 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published June 18 doi: 10.3354/meps11135 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Contribution to the Theme Section ‘Economics of marine ecosystem conservation’ FREE ACCESS Economic incentives and overfishing: a bioeconomic vulnerability index William W. L. Cheung1,*, U. Rashid Sumaila2 1Changing Oceans Research Unit and 2Fisheries Economics Research Unit, University of British Columbia, 2202 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada ABSTRACT: Bioeconomic theory predicts that the trade-offs between maximization of economic benefits and conservation of vulnerable marine species can be assessed using the ratio between the discount rate of fishers and the intrinsic rate of growth of the exploited populations. In this paper, we use this theory to identify areas of the global ocean where higher vulnerability of fishes to overfishing would be expected in the absence of management. We derive an index to evaluate the level of vulnerability by comparing discount rates and fishes’ intrinsic population growth rates. Using published discount rates of countries that are reported to fish in the ocean and estimating the intrinsic population growth rate for major exploited fishes in the world, we calculate the vulnerability index for each 0.5° latitude × 0.5° longitude grid for each taxon and each fishing country. Our study shows that vulnerability is inherently high on the northeastern coast of Canada, the Pacific coast of Mexico, the Peruvian coast, in the South Pacific, on the southern and southeastern coast of Africa, and in the Antarctic region. It should be noted that this index does not account for the management regime currently in place in different areas, and thus mainly reflects the vulnerability resulting from the intrinsic life history characteristics of the fish species being targeted and the discount rates of the fishers exploiting them.

  • Innovation Management in Seafood Industry Sector
    Development of Innovation Capabilities in the New Zealand Seafood Industry Sector Andrew Jeffs Principal Scientist, National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research, P.O. Box 109-695, Auckland, New Zealand Email: [email protected] Shantha Liyanage Associate Professor, Business School, The University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand Email: [email protected] Abstract: Most seafood industries around the world are founded on wild capture fisheries which have been facing a static or declining resource base due to over exploitation. Achieving growth with this restraint is a challenge that seafood enterprises have struggled with globally for more than 20 years. Innovation efforts in this industry have focused on developing new sources of raw material, increasing financial returns through value-adding, increased efficiency of production and management integration. An early change in the management regime for wild fish stocks is identified as the key factor in encouraging innovation in the New Zealand seafood industry. The greater certainty in raw material supply provided by the management regime has enabled seafood enterprises to shift their attention from competing to secure sufficient raw material toward increasing their returns from the raw materials they know will be available to them. This paper examines the dynamics of innovation capability building and provides management directions for enhancing innovation capability in this industry. Overall, it is hoped that this study may help to act as an exemplar for encouraging innovation in other national or regional seafood industries, and for other industries based on renewable natural resources. Keywords: seafood; innovation; Quota Management System; innovation capability, New Zealand; aquaculture; biotechnology; national innovation system.

  • Critique of PPI Study on Shale Gas Job Creation Prepared by Jannette M
    Critique of PPI Study on Shale Gas Job Creation Prepared by Jannette M. Barth, Ph.D. Pepacton Institute LLC January 2, 2012 Supporters of shale gas drilling in New York State frequently reference a report issued by The Public Policy Institute of New York State, Inc. (PPI) titled “Drilling for Jobs: What the Marcellus Shale Could Mean for New York,” July 2011. As with the other industry-funded studies on this subject, this PPI report is one- sided and self-evidently crafted with the sole purpose of supporting the gas industry. Independent academic research not funded by the gas industry reaches vastly different conclusions than do these industry-funded studies. The PPI report does not mention the independent research. Some examples of conclusions made by independent researchers are that areas that once had thriving extractive industries end up suffering the highest rates of long-term poverty (Freudenburg and Wilson); and counties that have focused on energy development underperform economically compared to peer counties with little or no energy development (Headwaters Economics). Independently researched studies include the following: • “Fossil Fuel Extraction as a County Economic Development Strategy: Are Energy-focusing Counties Benefiting?”, Headwaters Economics, September 2008 (Revised 7/11/09). • “Mining the Data: Analyzing the Economic Implications of Mining for Nonmetropolitan Regions,” William R.

  • Food Security Implications of Global Marine Catch Losses Due to Overfishing
    J Bioecon (2010) 12:183–200 DOI 10.1007/s10818-010-9090-9 Food security implications of global marine catch losses due to overfishing U. Thara Srinivasan · William W. L. Cheung · Reg Watson · U. Rashid Sumaila Published online: 18 August 2010 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. 2010 Abstract Excess fishing capacity and the growth in global demand for fishery products have made overfishing ubiquitous in the world’s oceans. Here we describe the potential catch losses due to unsustainable fishing in all countries’ exclusive eco- nomic zones (EEZs) and on the high seas over 1950–2004. To do so, we relied upon catch and price statistics from the Sea Around Us Project as well as an empirical rela- tionship we derived from species stock assessments by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In 2000 alone, estimated global catch losses amounted to 7–36% of the actual tonnage landed that year, resulting in a landed value loss of between $6.4 and 36 billion (in 2004 constant US$). From 1950–2004, 36–53% of commercial species in 55–66% of EEZs may have been overfished. Referring to a species-level database of intrinsic vulnerability (V) based on life-history traits, it appears that susceptible species were depleted quickly and serially, with the aver- age V of potential catch losses declining at a similar rate to that of actual landings.

  • Challenges and Opportunities of the US Fishing Industry
    Advancing Opportunity, Prosperity, and Growth WWW.HAMILTONPROJECT.ORG What’s the Catch? Challenges and Opportunities of the U.S. Fishing Industry By Melissa S. Kearney, Benjamin H. Harris, Brad Hershbein, David Boddy, Lucie Parker, and Katherine Di Lucido SEPTEMBER 2014 he economic importance of the fishing sector extends well beyond the coastal communities for which it is a vital industry. Commercial fishing operations, including seafood wholesalers, processors, and retailers, all contribute billions of dollars annually to the U.S. economy. Recreational fishing— Temploying both fishing guides and manufacturers of fishing equipment—is a major industry in the Gulf Coast and South Atlantic. Estimates suggest that the economic contribution of the U.S. fishing industry is nearly $90 billion annually, and supports over one and a half million jobs (National Marine Fisheries Service [NMFS] 2014). A host of challenges threaten fishing’s viability as an American industry. Resource management, in particular, is a key concern facing U.S. fisheries. Since fish are a shared natural resource, fisheries face traditional “tragedy of the commons” challenges in which the ineffective management of the resource can result in its depletion. In the United States, advances in ocean fishery management over the past four decades have led to improved sustainability, but more remains to be done: 17 percent of U.S. fisheries are classified as overfished (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] 2014), and even those with adequate fish stocks may benefit economically from more-efficient management structures. Meeting the resource management challenge can lead to improved economic activity and better sustainability in the future.

ISSN 1567-214x Keywords: Cooperatives, Fisheries, Institutions, Welfare, Economic Actors ABSTRACT This research was conducted based on a literature study of several articles and books, carried out from July 2020 to September 2020. The writing of this article was done by collecting information from various sources, analyzing and then concluding. The existence of fisheries cooperatives is very helpful in meeting the needs of its members and the surrounding community such as basic assistance, capital, credit, or borrowing, sales, fishermen's needs in fishing and so on. The existence of cooperatives also provides benefits in other fields, such as education, development of community infrastructure, health and various community activities, especially fishermen. INTRODUCTION Many problems faced, the fisheries sector. such as physical damage to coastal and aquatic ecosystem habitats, decreasing water quality, overfishing, low handling and processing of fishery products, unstable prices for production factors, increasingly fierce market competition, poverty and capital problems. In addition, the low quality of human resources and mastery of technology also adds to the problem of fisheries development.
