  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Simulation Model Evaluation of Some Fisheries Balance Indicators Author: Scott, Robert, Sampson, David Chronic overcapacity has been identified as a major cause of the overfishing of Europe’s fish stocks and the poor economic performance of the European fishing fleets. Mechanisms are needed to ensure that the capacity of European fishing fleets remain proportionate to available fish stocks. To that end, the European Commission developed “Guidelines for an improved analysis of the balance between fishing capacity and fishing opportunities”, which specify a minimum set of fleet-based technical, biological, economic, and social indicators that purportedly measure the balance between fishing fleets and fish resources. A bioeconomic simulation model was developed to assist in the evaluation of some of these balance indicators. The model is age-structured, like standard single-species stock assessment models, but accommodates multiple independent fish stocks that are harvested by multiple independent fishing fleets. The fish stocks occupy multiple spatial regions with diffusion of fish between regions. The fishing fleets choose where and how to fish based on anticipated profits. Randomness is included in the simulated system in the annual fish recruitments and their spatial distribution. The model was used to generate a series of balance indicators that were then compared against the true conditions in the simulated fisheries to evaluate whether the indicators provide accurate signals of system status. The simulations showed that randomness in recruitment propagates directly into randomness in the balance indicators implying that it will be difficult to detect meaningful signals from any short time series of balance indicator values.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Economic Analysis of Fishery in the Northern Persian Gulf Author: Esmaeili, Abdoulkarim There are many fishing landing areas in southern Iran, distributed all along the northern Persian Gulf. Despite increasing effort, the total catch has fluctuated in recent years. Iran is facing with over capacity of vessels and too many fishers, yet simultaneously political, social and economical pressures exist for expansion of fishing effort. It is extremely difficult to make management and resource allocation among competing user groups. This study examines the technical efficiency and profitability of the fishing industry in order to select the best fishing vessels group. The results indicate that wooden vessels of medium size are more efficient than small fiberglass ones. The result of profitability analysis using internal rate of return, and benefit cost ratio indicate that big vessels are in critical stage. Although small and medium vessels are profitable, but medium vessels are more economically efficient than others.
