Tomlinson (197?). "An Application of Yield Models to a California Ocean Shrimp Population." Fishery Bulletin, 70(3): 1021-1041. Two types' of yield models were utilized to analyze fishery data from California's northern most bed of ocean shrimp, Pandalus iordani. The Schaefer form of the stock production model was applied to catch and effort data for the years 1954 through 1969. Age-structured catch data for 1955 through 1968 were analyzed by the Murphy method to obtain mortality rates and biomass estimates. Catchability coefficients and a growth curve were also estimated. Attempts to fit spawner-recruit models to estimates obtained from the age-structured catch data were inconclusive; so, age specific mortality and growth estimates were only used to fit a yield-per-recruit model. After comparing the results from the two models, the Schaefer model was deemed most suitable for managing this fishery. The model estimated the maximum sustainable yield at 2.46 million pounds. A strategy for managing the fishery under a quota system was proposed. Adams, Charles M. (1984). "Price Dynamics in the U.S. Shrimp Market." Ph.D. dissertation, Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. Understanding the mechanism of price determination in a dynamic setting is imperative to formulating effective policy and assessing price impacts at each market level. This study examines the monthly and quarterly price determination process for raw-headless shrimp of the 31-40 and 21-25 size classes. Price response between market levels for both size classes was found to be symmetric. However, policy measures that alter the quantity or size distribution of shrimp through import quotas, tariffs, or seasonal restrictions, will have a greater price impact on the smaller shrimp. Increased supplies of maricultural shrimp will have a greater relative price impact on the 31-40 size class. Adams, Charles M. (1985).

Adams, Charles M. (1993). "A Preliminary Assessment of Ex-vessel Price Movements in the South Atlantic Rock Shrimp Fishery." Report to the Staff of the South Atlantic Regional Fisheries Management Council, November 23, 13 pp. 1 The primary objective of this study is to examine the dockside pricing structure of rock shrimp and determine if dockside prices per pound are an increasing function of size of shrimp. Secondarily, the importance of demand shifters (income and availability of substitutes) in the determination of dockside prices is determined. The benefits of a closure that allows shrimp to grow into the larger size category is questionable because of the long life of the rock shrimp (20-22 months) and the common property nature of the fishery.

Final report, MARFIN Grant No. NA89WC-H-MF006, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Office of Fish eries, Post Office Box 189, Bourg, Louisiana. This project was designed to survey nearshore, inshore and wingnet shrimp fishermen in coastal Louisiana, and assess the number, species composition, and weight of all incidentally caught organisms. The project objective was to assess the groundfish bycatch of the Louisiana shrimp fishery, including effects of gear type, season, and location. In trawls, an average fish/shrimp ratio by weight was 3.21: 1, yielding an estimated total annual bycatch of 228 million pounds. The report contains a review of previously conducted bycatch trawl survey results and suggestions for reducing bycatch discarding including utilization, reduced trawl time, and limited entry.

Stability, entry, exit, and mobility patterns for six size categories of firms in the Florida shrimp processing industry for the 1959-71 period were studied by utilizing Markov Chain analysis. Forecasts over time predict that a structural equilibrium in the industry will be achieved by 1985. The forecasted changes in firm distribution suggest that Florida shrimp industry sales will become increasingly concentrated due to expansion iiI.number of both small and large firms. A dual equilibrium, resulting in fewer medium size firms and more small and large size· firms, can be explained by the tendency for small firms to develop a specialty product and/or services to differentiate their markets from those of the very large firms. Medium sized firms, then, tend to expand in size, or decline and either move to specialty products and services

Hossain Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, Bangladesh, Dhaka ABSTRACT A study on problems and prospects of shrimp production and marketing from Bangladesh on the basis of secondary information was carried out from July to October 08. Shrimp farming has emerged one of the important economic activities in Bangladesh and become the second largest export industry after garments. Shrimp aquaculture in coastal areas plays a major role providing employment, income and food security to remote coastal people where alternative livelihood options are limited. Shrimp culture system is extensive to improved extensive type with total production of 55000 mt of brackish water shrimp and 12000 mt of freshwater shrimp. In coastal Bangladesh, shrimp culture has led to many social and environmental problems. In export markets, shrimps are great but many challenges remain ahead because of increasing requirements of quality, food hygiene and development of technological and trade barriers in large shrimp markets in USA and EU countries. However, challenges lies with good aquaculture practice and competitive export, which are the effective tools for poverty alleviation and national development program for Bangladesh. Key words : Production, Export, Marketing, Shrimp INTRODUCTION Shrimp plays an important role in the economy of Bangladesh. It is the second largest export industries after garments from which Bangladesh earned as US$ 456 m in the year 2006 (BFFEA, 2008). Among shrimp producing countries, Bangladesh ranks fourth with respect to area of shrimp farming and sixth in volume of production.

Abstract VAC stands for the first three letters of three words: Garden (V), pond (A), cage (C), referring to a small-intensive farming ecosystem model to solve the shortages of food and develop the rural economy in Vietnam. It has been shaped and developed for nearly four decades since the Vietnam War ended and the country got reunited in 1975. At first, the VAC economy might have seemed to be small, and just an "informal economy". However, it has gradually become an important model for rural farm households to produce their self-sufficient food and income as a strategic tool of livelihood which was recommended for the poor to overcome the shortfall of food with limited resources of agricultural production during the past period of transition time.

PCE-I-00-99-00003-00 Agricultural Development Assistance in Nigeria Task Order No. 812 November 2002 FOREWORD Under the Rural and Agricultural Incomes with a Sustainable Environment (RAISE) IQC, Chemonics International and its Agricultural Development Assistance in Nigeria (ADAN) project are working with USAID/Nigeria and the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (GON) to stimulate Nigeria’s economic growth through increased competitiveness in the world market. A key component of this effort centers on determination of specific agricultural products with the greatest potential for increasing foreign exchange and employment. ADAN specifically targets increased agricultural commodity production and exports, and seeks to boost domestic sales as well through opportunistic ‘fast track’ activities, which are loosely based on development of networks and linkages to expedite trade. At a stakeholders’ conference in Abuja, Nigeria in January 2002, participants identified five Nigerian products that held the greatest potential for export growth. Chemonics/ADAN was charged with conducting sub-sector assessments of these products, and then developing industry action plans (IAPs) for those that indicated sufficient market opportunities. The following sub-sector assessment examines market trends, opportunities and constraints, both international and domestic; production and processing requirements; operating environment issues; and recommendations to address the needs of the Nigerian industries. A separate IAP provides a strategic framework for actions, which the Nigerian and international private sector, Nigerian government, and donors should undertake to improve the viability of these industry clusters.

Bangladesh is earning about 500 millions of foreign currency yearly by exporting shrimp and contributing 3.78% in GDP. This study intends to find out the problems related to the shrimp industry in Bangladesh to export in the international markets. As such a research study has been undertaken on shrimp farmers, experts and government employees of the shrimp farming areas. To gauge the prospects of shrimp farming, the south-western region of Bangladesh has been considered as the core farming areas. These three categories of stakeholders are related to the problems and prospects of shrimp industry in Bangladesh. A total of 100 stakeholders were selected to respond. The author suggested that problems including high mortality rate, lack of virus screening facility and the unfair practices should be taken into account for the both operative and strategic level without delay. Enforcement of food security from the external sector of the government ought to be discovered.

  • The Management of Coastal Penaeid Shrimp Fisheries 287
    i’ 282 S. GARCIA 1. INTRODUCTION Shrimp are one of the world’s most valuable fishery resources. The present total landings are estimated to be around 1.8 x lo6 tons, and an additional demand for cs ‘ 200,000 tons is foreseen by 1990 (Sribhibhadh 1). Tropical penaeid shrimp landings amount to about 700,000 tons (Gulland and Rothschild 2) and their high value and strong demand on the markets of the richer countries (United States, Japan, Europe) were powerful incentives to the development of shrimp fisheries in the 1960s and 1970s. From 1977 to 1981, for instance, the landings increased by 22% and the value by about 60% in terms of U.S. dollars (International Trade Center 3). The high prices for shrimp on export markets have stimulated rapid development, leading in many cases to excessive effort, even with regulatory measures, which have usually been unable to prevent overinvestment, excessive production costs , low or even negative economic returns to the country, and perhaps an overall reduction in total catch value. Most potentially productive areas are now being exploited, and no major increase in landings of capture fisheries can be foreseen. As shrimp prices continue to rise and oil prices are presently decreasing (19861, there is a risk of additional fishing effort being injected into fisheries where conspicuous conflicts have already appeared between small-scale and offshore industrial shrimp fisheries, between shrimp and finfish fisheries, and between shrimp aquaculture and fisheries for the postlarval resources and for the markets. Most fisheries are now in a situation of economic overfishing, shrimp fisheries are the major source of conflict and problems in the tropical zone, and recruitment problems are presently receiving increased attention (Penn 4; Penn and Caputi 5; Garcia 6, 7).

The study investigated two distinct marketing system named general fish (white fish) marketing system and shrimp marketing channel. In the both market chain from producers to retailers the goods goes onward through a number of channel members like aratdar, foria, paiker, wholesalers, chalani, depot, and retailer. It was observed that the aratdar/auctioneer get 3 to 5% commissions from each auction by arranging the auction andcontractual activities and providing other facilities such as clean water supply, electricity, space, communication etc. A variety of personnel involved in arat likewise muhuri, koyal and labour etc having distinct salary level. The usual amount of the daily fish supply was 10-15 tones with a traded value between Tk 5 and 6 million and the volume varies relying on the variation in catches during peak or off-season.

Seafood Watch® defines sustainable seafood as originating from sources, whether wild-caught or farmed, which can maintain or increase production in the long-term without jeopardizing the structure or function of affected ecosystems. Seafood Watch® makes its science-based recommendations available to the public in the form of regional pocket guides that can be downloaded from the Internet (seafoodwatch.org) or obtained from the Seafood Watch® program by emailing [email protected]. The program’s goals are to raise awareness of important ocean conservation issues and empower seafood consumers and businesses to make choices for healthy oceans. Each sustainability recommendation on the regional pocket guides is supported by a Seafood Report. Each report synthesizes and analyzes the most current ecological, fisheries and ecosystem science on a species, then evaluates this information against the program’s conservation ethic to arrive at a recommendation of “Best Choices,” “Good Alternatives,” or “Avoid.” The detailed evaluation methodology is available upon request. In producing the Seafood Reports, Seafood Watch® seeks out research published in academic, peer-reviewed journals whenever possible. Other sources of information include government technical publications, fishery management plans and supporting documents, and other scientific reviews of ecological sustainability.

Source of data used are primary data and secondary data collected by interview and documentation methods and then analyzed descriptively with a quantitative approach. The results showed that the price of giant prawns at the producer level was determined by the uniformity and size of the harvest. The more uniform and the bigger the size of giant prawns which are harvested at the higher price. The marketing of giant prawns in the Karangasem and Gianyar regions uses the same marketing channel pattern, from producers to collectors and then to consumers (hotels, restaurants, restaurants), but the marketing margins are different. Galah shrimp marketing margins for the Gianyar region with a margin of 23.90% while in the Karangasem region the percentage of marketing margins is 22.80% while the percentage of farmer shares both in Gianyar and in Karangasem is greater than the percentage of marketing margins in both regions. In Gianyar, the farmer share is 76.04% and in the Karangasem region is 80.07%.
