  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: Japanese Fish Demand and Price Linkage with Foreign Markets Author: Tada, Minoru Year: 2001 Japan has about 10% and 15% share for the consumption and trade of marine products respectively, and the trend has significant impacts on world markets. Thus the purpose of this article is to estimate the income elasticity of the demand, that includes all kinds of fish usage such as eating out and cooked foods as well as fresh materials for cooking in the household, and to analyze price linkages between domestic and foreign markets. As a result of estimating demand function by commodity, it was found that a) the income elasticity of demand for all usage is higher than that for household material, for many commodities, and b) tuna, bonito, salmon, left-eye flounder, sea bream, shrimp and crab show positive income elasticity. The analysis of price linkage for tuna, salmon, mackerel and shrimp showed that a) Japanese CIF price correlates with world average FOB price for salmon, implying that the prices are determined simultaneously, and b) there exist a time-lag for domestic price to be transmitted to foreign markets for tuna and frozen shrimp, though the lag is for some months. Therefore, Japanese recovery from economic recession will give rise to price hike in world markets for tuna and shrimp, for which supply potentials are worried due to the resources limitation and environmental contamination.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Future of Capitalism Revisited Author: Farrell, John P. Year: 2001 This essay deliberates on the future of capitalism or, more specifically, the mixture of command and market likely to characterize the modern economy two to three decades on. I start by discussing global trends in the supply and demand for market and non-market goods and the collateral demand for institutions, arguing that the value of non-market goods can be expected to rise relative to market goods, because of the relative fixity of supply of some nonmarket goods (esthetic environmental goods, e.g.), limited substitution possibilities and the high cost of achieving appropriate institutional change. Growing tension between, on the one hand, the demand for non-market goods and the ability of the economy to produce such goods will drive change in the nature of capitalism. If institutions are unable to deliver, if the U.S. economy proves rigid, lacking in ability to adapt, then we can expect bureaucratic resolutions costly in terms of forgone growth. If, however, institutions can adapt in market-friendly way, we can expect continued growth and more efficient production of both market and non-market goods.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Assessment of Tonkin Gulf Fishery - Vietnam Based on the Bio-Economic models Author: Nguyen, Long, Nguyen, Ba Thong During 1986-2006, fisheries in Tonkin Gulf had made rapid development. Total engine power increased 11.6 times while total catch only increased 2.9 times. Big increase in number of fishing boats has resulted to the overexploitation in near shore waters since 1995 and this situation has been spread out all over the Gulf now. This paper give detail description of the current status of fisheries in Tonkin Gulf, dynamic trend in number of boats, catches, resources; and discuss relating issues such as capital, economic efficiency of key fisheries in Tonkin Gulf like trawl, purse seine, line fishery and others. In addition to that, fishery management issues toward sustainable development are also analyzed in deep. Analysis, evaluations on marine capture fisheries in Tonkin Gulf have been done with bio-economy model have been made. The study figures out the fact of over-fishing on the resources and the excess of fishing capacity in Tonkin Gulf.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Introduction to the Issues and Context of Rapid Changes in World Demand for Fish Author: Ahmed, Mahfuzuddin, Delgado, Christopher Year: 2001 Recent trends in global fish production, consumption and trade reflect several fundamental shifts in the structure of supply of and demand for fish and seafood. Rapid changes in world demand for fish is first discussed. Six panelists discuss the issues derived from considering fisheries—with particular emphasis on aquaculture—as a major form of food and export production in developing countries that competes with crop and livestock activities for resources. A first paper will review and analyze developments in international seafood markets and its impact on developing countries. This is followed by discussion of the conceptual and practical methodological issues in integrating fish into a broader world food model. Subsequent papers will provide more in-depth sectoral consideration of the trade-offs involved in placing fisheries supply and demand issues in the broader context of agriculture supply and demand, with added regional insights for specific parts of developing Asia and Sub- Saharan Africa. Two panel discussants with broad geographic experience and in-depth knowledge of fisheries issues will provide synthesis of the papers, followed by an open discussion of the panel topic and related issues.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Social and Economic Issues in Aquaculture Development for Coastal Communities of Tabasco, Mexico Author: Perez Sanchez, Eunice, Ross, Lindsay G., Muir, James F. Year: 2001 Following an assessment of Mexican water resources by governmental agencies in the late 1940’s, Tabasco State was identified as a potential area for aquaculture development, as the State holds 30% of National water resources and an important share of Southeast Mexican fisheries, particularly for oyster production. However, conflicts and competition for coastal resources between the expanding oil industry and fishing communities are escalating, with consequences including severe environmental degradation. Though a number of aquaculture-linked development initiatives have been promoted, evidence suggests that issues of social benefit, integrated development and livelihood enhancement are poorly understood. This paper reports the findings of preliminary social and economic surveys of coastal communities engaged in aquaculture operations, and suggests that current approaches are unlikely to deliver benefit effectively as key issues have not been addressed. Preliminary recommendations are made based on trends and issues of particular importance to coastal communities, to improve livelihoods through better access to resources and infrastructure.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fishery Management Innovations in New Zealand Author: Starr, Paul Year: 2001 Two fishery management innovations developed in New Zealand are described. The first is a programme of “selfmonitoring” of the catch through the biological sampling by the skipper or a crew member on the vessel. The intent of this programme is to take a small sample of many units of effort across a broad range of the fleet on a frequent basis. This design is dynamic and ensures that the fishery is well sampled. Examination of the data collected shows considerable internal integrity in the data and provides confidence that the information is reliable. The second innovation is the use of experimental increases in TAC (Total Allowable Catch) levels to obtain information on fish stocks which have low information availability. These increases in allowable catch are coupled with monitoring programmes to follow stock abundance trends under higher levels of removals. Both the NZ government and the NZ fishing industry are supportive of this programme as it is an effective way to obtain fish stock information when research opportunities are limited. It is the opinion of the author that the existence of the ITQ management system in New Zealand coupled with a governmental policy of recovering attributable management costs have created a climate in which innovations which reduce costs while maintaining the quality of research are favoured.
