  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: What is the demand for farmed fish on the European markets? Author: Mariojouls, Catherine, Girard, Sophie This paper analyses what are the potential outlets on European markets for new farmed fish. In the first part, the main striking features about the structure and evolution of the European fish trade over the last decade are presented. The analysis of fish imports and exports provides comprehensive data to characterize the EU fish demand per commodity categories, per species groups, per country, and to estimate price trends for both wild and farmed fish imports. Then, the second part is dedicated to an in-depth analysis of the fresh fish trade, as main outlet for farmed fish. The evolution of the balance trade for the main species groups showing a deficit (salmon, gadoids, other demersal fish, completed by an analysis of the price segmentation of fish imports, highlight the substitution phenomena between farmed and wild fish which occurred over the last decade, while providing an assessment of the fish demand for the different market segments. These results are utilized to analyse the potential outlets on European markets for new farmed species issued from an aquaculture diversification, taking into account the increasing competition from well-established and concentrated fish farming industries (salmon, seabass and seabream), as well as the more recent introduction of low-priced freshwater tropical fish (ex. pangasius). A particular attention is paid to the red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus), a tropical marine fish farmed in the French overseas territories. Future prospects for farmed fish diversification are also discussed as regards the consumer expectations towards image and quality attributes (including environmental).

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Trade Liberation and Fish Consumption Author: Honkanen, Asmo, Setälä, Jari, Saarni, Kaija Finland became a member of the European Union (EU) in 1995. After that the food market has changed radically. At the same time the eating away from home has become increasingly common. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of fish consumption in the Finnish catering service sector. The focus is to evaluate the period during rapid market changes. The estimation of fish consumption was based on a statistical sample and the data was collected in 1988, 1991, 1994 and 2005. It was found that the fish consumption has increased 30 per cent during the last ten years. The growth is exclusively based on imported fish. All types of imported fish products were used for meals more than earlier, but the consumption of fresh fish products has grown most extensively. The consumption of salmon and salmon trout increased most, while domestic caught Baltic herring is considerably less important than earlier. The frequency of serving fish meals has also increased. The abolition of national trade restrictions on fresh fish has inevitably had an impact on the consumption of fish in the catering sector.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Co-management and Labor Stickiness in Fishing Communities: Determination of the Optimal Number of Vessels Author: Lee, Yao-Hsien, Chuang, Ching-Ta Year: 2001 In the recent years, resource depletion of inshore and coastal fisheries has seriously impacted Taiwan. Local fishing communities’ economic profits in these fisheries have declined and resulted in lower earned incomes for the fishermen. These phenomena have lead many scholars, government agencies and fishing communities to evaluate the optimal number of operating vessels in these fisheries. This study has explicitly applied the concepts of community-based co-management, fish market concentration and labor stickiness to an economic model that can be used to determine the optimum number of fishing vessels in a fishing community. One corollary of this approach is that we modify the traditional assumption regarding labor mobility in a fishing community and explore here how labor stickiness to the extent that it exists in Taiwan’s fishing communities might bias traditional fishing management policies and influence the determination of optimal number of vessels. In addition, the Herfindahl index (H), which measures the degree of concentration in the structure of a fishery market, will also affect the final determination of the optimal number of vessels. Results suggest that when there are no labor mobility barriers, then with flexible fishing operation costs, the optimal number of vessels and the fish stock would be smaller. Larger values of H (i.e., Herfindahl index) and greater differentials in the fishing efficiency index in the fishing community also result in relatively fewer vessels and fish stock. Finally, as to the impacts of changing fish stock growth rate and fish price on the optimal vessel number and fish stock are also discussed.

As many of you know, the past 25 years of my career have been spent representing commercial fishermen as the executive director and counsel for one of the nation’s larger fishing organizations, and much of that time has been dedicated to fish and fish habitat conservation. But my own roots were shoreside, where my father owned or was partners in fish processing plants in northern California and Oregon.

  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: International fish trade and fish product security in Viet Nam Author: Kim, Anh Nguyen Thi, Hien, Thi Tran, Petersen, Elizabeth In 2006, Viet Nam’s fishery sector contributed about 6.1 percent to the GDP of the country and the value of aquatic products in export turnover was about US$ 3.3 billion. This accounted for 9-10 percent of the country’s total export value (MOFI/USDAFAS, 2007). Home consumption of fish has increased from 11.8 kg per capital year in 1993, to 13.5 kg per year in 1995 and is now estimated at more than 19 kg per year (FAO/MOFI, 2003). Fish is the most important source of animal protein contributing 40 percent to the total animal protein intake, and is supporting the people’s food security (MOFI, 2007). This paper shows how international fish trade impacts on fish product security in Viet Nam and presents ideas to improve fish product security for domestic and overseas markets. It focuses on how the Viet Nam Government can influence domestic fish product security in the following ways: 1) policies, 2) support activities contributing to fish security and sustainable development, and 3) encouraging international cooperation in the sector of fish product security.

Cross-sectional data was collected in Valencia, Spain. A total sample of 452 consumers was obtained. This study uses descriptive and multivariate techniques to present data, and to obtain and describe the segments. The analysis resulted in three segments: the unconcerned, the wild fish concerned and the ambivalent. These represented 27%, 35% and 39% of the sample respectively. The segments were profiled with variables age, gender, education, social class, fish consumption, attitudes towards fish, attitudes towards farmed fish, perceived knowledge about fish farming, health involvement and the type of information used when buying fish (product vs. environmental).
