  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Rural community quotas - intentions and impacts Author: Dreyer, Bent, Hermansen, Oystein In many fisheries, the harvesting pattern shows considerable intra-year variation. These fluctuations give challenges for downstream firms in value chains where predictability and continuity in the flow of production are important. Seasonal harvesting may well be rational from an economic perspective, as migration patterns can give huge variations in catch per unit effort. With limited quotas, profit can be maximized through fishing intensively in short periods. This strategy is particularly present in the Norwegian cod fisheries, where approx. 80 per cent is landed from January to April. During the lean season, fish-processing firms have low capacity utilization, and employees are often laid-off. In order to ease these problems, several schemes have been employed, all aiming at changing the harvesting pattern towards more landings of cod during the autumn. In 2006 and 2007, rural community quotas (RCQs) were re-introduced to improve supplies of raw material to particularly exposed communities in the lean season. An exclusive quota was allocated to an autumn fishery. This was allotted to vessels through a lottery among applicants. Quotas were to be delivered fresh to a specified geographical area. This paper describes and analyses the implementation and impacts of this quota system. The empirical findings reported focuses on the selection of vessels and communities and impact on harvesting pattern and processing.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Aquaculture in Urban and Peri-urban Areas: Implication for Food Security and Environment Consideration Author: Siyanbola, Omitoyin, Adebayo, Jumoke Change in climate, harvest stagnation in wild fisheries and overexploitation of popular fish species, combined with a growing demand for high quality protein and a need to sustain livelihood and improve food security has compelled aquaculturists to domesticate more fish species in environments which is not rural as the case used to be. The dwindling resources from the artisanal sector which provide employment for about 5.8% of the populaces and also supply more than 81.9% of the total domestic fish production is augmented by aquaculture which is the fastest growing production system in the world. Rural-Urban migration which is rapidly increasing has increased the pressure on the urban facilities. Expanding cities affect the areas surrounding the city by altering the natural resource base, converting land to new uses, changing labour patterns, challenging the environment, concentrating urban waste pollution and diminishing natural resource based livelihoods. The paper therefore looks at aquaculture in the urban and peri- urban for food security and its environmental implication. A random sampling technique was used to select 150 respondents from urban and peri- urban communities in Lagos state using structured questionnaire. Data collected include socioeconomic characteristics, production, sales and climatic data The effect of change in climate with a high percentage of people moving from the rural areas to the urban cities increasing congestion, unemployment, urban poverty and subsequently increasing food insecurity should be looked into. There is therefore the need for the Government to look into land use planning and land allocation to cope with rapid development and expansion.
