  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Barometer Survey for the Economic Outlook of Finnish Fishery Enterprises Author: Honkanen, Asmo, Ahvonen, Anssi, Veneranta, Lari Fishery barometer surveys economic prospects and trends of fishery enterprises in Finland. The enterprises are divided into fishing, aquaculture, processing and the wholesale or retail trade. Since year 2000 the enterprises have been asked to evaluate their economic parameters, such as financial standing, turnover and investments. The present situation is compared with the previous 12 months and with expectations for the coming 12 months. The aim is to collect data that are reliable and comparable in the long term. The survey population consists of all fishery sector enterprises on the register of Statistics Finland, i.e. 850-1000 firms every year. The net sample has been 300-400 and the response rate about 80%. The sample has been allocated to fixed quotas to ensure enough observations of all strata. The development and relevance of the barometer are discussed more closely in the paper.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Rate of Profit Return with ITQs: Fishing for Optimality Author: Zhang, Meng, Batstone, Chris, Sharp, Basil The year 1990 saw the introduction of individual transferable quota rights to the NZ rock lobster fishery. This paper presents an analysis of the evolution of profitability in five different quota management areas over the period 1990-2001. The bio-economic model of an optimal fishery provides the basis for econometric analysis. The rate of profit return in each region was regressed on the corresponding real interest rate and the marginal stock effect. Evidence is found for the existence of optimal fishery. In general the half-life value of each region’s rate of profit return is trending towards its mean value. Significant individual monthly effects are also evident when we regress the rate of profit return on a time trend and monthly dummy variables.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fishery Industry' s Confidence towards the near Future in Different Levels of Production Chain in Finland Author: Honkanen, Asmo, Ahvonen, Anssi Year: 2001 The idea of this study is to follow general economic fluctuations and try to foresee how confident fishery industry is towards the near future and simultaneously indicate the relative development in the near past. A trend-and-confidence indicator describing the overall economic trend and expectations of enterprises was calculated from the means of balance figures of questions concerning change in financial standing, turnover and investments of an enterprise. The results can be divided into fishing, aquaculture, processing, wholesale and retail trade, i.e. to the whole production-processing-commerce chain. In February 2000, the confidence towards coming 12 months in the Finnish fishery enterprises was encouraged. The only sector that had deteriorated during the past year was fishing, however the outlook of fishing for the coming year was more promising. The results are based on a sample of about 300 enterprises representing a survey population of about 1070 fishery enterprises. The reliability of the results is discussed.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: African Fisheries : Major Trends and Diagnostic of the 20th Century Author: Njifonjou, O., Njock, J.C. Year: 2001 The marine fisheries production from African coastal countries, combined with that of freshwater production of the continent is estimated to be 6 millions metric tons, corresponding only 5 % of the total world production. Africa's contribution to fisheries products (1,5 %) is insignificant compared to that of world commerce which is around 44 millions tons. This deplorable situation is due to a certain number of problems which include s among others, the relative biogenic poverty of African waters, the exploitation of African waters by foreign vessels, the total lack of catches effected by the African vessels out of their regional boundaries, the lack of knowledge on the mastering of commercialisation and on veritable commercial politics of fisheries products, including quality assurance. In addition to this, the almost inexistence of the aquaculture in the sub-Saharan countries. This paper analyses the African fisheries in the whole continent and presents the general characters, notably its evolution, fisheries resources, valorisation and consumption of fisheries products. The global analysis made here accords a priority to markets as well as to the framework of contribution of these products and tries, at the end of the 20th century, to present some trends. Facing the globalisation phenomena, how will African fisheries producers be challenged in the new millennium? This continental level analysis brings out field application and some different development perspectives for both small scale and industrial fisheries sub-sectors.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Analysis on the Tee of China Export Aquatic Products and The Export Trend to Japan Author: Che, Bin, Sun, Chen Japan has been the biggest export market of aquatic products of China for many years. The export of aquatic products to Japan reached more than 700,000 ton and $ 3 billion in 2007. The influence to the export market caused by the sweeping economic crisis will affect the benefits of the export enterprises of China. The trade complementary index shows great potential of aquatic products trade between China and Japan. However, under the circumstances of economic crisis, to set up limits of import would be the prior choice of the trade policy by Japan. The paper analyses the trade economic efficiency (TEE ) of the export aquatic products to Japan in detail. TEE is an index to reflect the export situation of one country from the economic point of view by the trend of trade price change. If TEE>1, then the trade (either export or import) of the interested country is more efficient than the average level of the world market. If TEE<1, the situation is the opposition. We choose the species which export quantity exceeds 1000 ton to analyze and find out that the TEE of only 10 species is more than 1, which refers to more efficient. The number doesn_t reach 1/3 of the sample. The TEE of some species is even not as much as 0.6. Moreover, the paper points out that the limits set up to the aquatic products of China under the economic crises by Japan will be different from those of before. According to the dual characteristics of technical trade measure, the limits set up can be based on market failure as well as on economic benefit. The purpose of former is to protect the consumers. In the latter condition, the benefit of producers is considered. The limits set up this time would be based on the economic benefits in order to protect the benefit of domestic producers. Therefore, the export of aquatic products of China may encounter dual difficulties. Not only will the TEE of export be worse, but also will the export scale be declined. Accordingly, the government should take more effective measures to improve the export environment in order to help the enterprises to get through the trouble.
