  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Perspectives of Rights Based Fishery Management in Mexico Author: Enriquez, Roberto, Batalla Camargo, Gabriela Year: 2001 Despite increasing concerns, the progress towards better management of fisheries in Mexico has been slow. The main political, social and economic forces behind over fishing in the country remain largely at place. Among the major problems are demographic pressure, open access or ill defined property rights, excessive centralization of management decisions, and a wide array of market and regulatory disincentives for conservation. This paper presents an overview of the current situation of fisheries management in Mexico and discuses the potential benefits and limitations of the implementation of rights based management to reverse current overexploitation trends The discussion considers likely management scenarios at the turn of the millennium. The paper concludes that property rights based management has an important potential to promote efficiency, profitability and increased stewardship of fishery resources, particularly if implemented at the local human community level. However, effective implementation must surmount substantial constitutional, political economic and cultural barriers.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Factors Affecting Consumer Preferences for Fish in Taiwan Author: Lee, Hwang-Jaw, Wang, Sue-Mei, Houston, Jack E., Li, Ho-Shui Year: 2001 Stepwise logistic regression was used to explore consumption survey data to identify factors affecting consumer preference for fish in Taiwan. Most of the consumers responding prefer to eat fish, although the per capita consumption of fish was stagnant. Some demographic factors and consumer preference for food attributes were identified to affect preferences for fish. The older, white collar worker, those who believed in the religion of Daoism, those who paid more attention to food nutrition, to food taste, and/or to food quality had higher odds of preference for fish, while the unmarried, the female, those who believed in the religion of Yi-Guan-Daoism, those who lived in eastern, middle, or southern Taiwan had lower odds of preference for eating fish. The results implied that fish had an overall good perception in Taiwan. However, the fact that younger consumers and/or female consumers had lower odds in preference for fish implies a risk for future development. Further exploration of characteristics of food preference of these groups may be needed to illuminate information of marketing and product development for the fishery industry to further development.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Factors Affecting Consumer's Attitudes Towards Aquaculture Author: Luna, Ladsilao, Fernandez Sanchez, Jose Luis, Fernandez-Polanco, Jose Attitudes towards production processes increased their importance over food purchase decissions in recent years. This paper aims to test which factors mainly affects attitudes towards aquaculture. Factors are classified into three groups: demographic, situational, and personal and marketing infuences. Using consumer survey data, factor analysis techniques were used to obtain an attitude meassure from a set of scales. Diferent linear models and fit methods were performed with variables of the three groups of factors to test for significant effects over attitude scores. Significant effects were found with education, ocupation and income. Purchase and consumption place were also found to be significant causes of diferencies across attitudes. Finally Consumer involvement with food safety and sustainability and generic advertising credibility have shown significant effects over attitudes towards aquaculture.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Factors Affecting Consumer Preferences for Shrimp in Taiwan Author: Li, Ho-Shui, Houston, Jack E. Year: 2001 Survey data of food consumption were analyzed utilizing stepwise logistic regression to investigate factors affecting consumer choice of shrimp as the most frequently consumed non-fish seafood in Taiwan. Demographic factors, consumer attention to food attributes, and consumer preferences for fish were considered in modeling. Results showed more people preferring shrimp than actually choosing shrimp. Those choosing shrimp as the most often consumed seafood tended to have higher personal income, lived in southern Taiwan, and/or chose shrimp as their favorite seafood, while those who chose shrimp less often were married and/or lived in Middle Taiwan. Those who chose shrimp as the favorite consumed seafood tended to be married, white collar workers, liked to eat fish, had higher personal income, lived in middle Taiwan, and/or chose shrimp as the most often consumed, while those who disfavored shrimp tended to be believers in the religions of Yi-Guan-Daoism or of Daoism.

For many management actions in Canada, a socio-economic impact assessment must be completed; this assessment estimates the impacts on the Canadian population. Two species-specific studies addressing the management of a Pacific Rockfish species and a Lake Sturgeon population were conducted for with the intent of estimating values for use in future analyses. Using conditional logit and latent class models, welfare measures were calculated for management actions related to each species; additionally, the impact of species’ characteristics, the protection program costs, and the demographic characteristics of the survey respondents were addressed.
