  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Adaptation of Fishing Communities in the Philippines to the Impacts of Climate Change Author: Campos, Maria Rebecca More than half a million small fishers in the Philippines have been availing of loans from Quedancor, the credit arm of the Department of Agriculture. The financing scheme has been quite successful with repayment rate at 95%. However, the occurrence of natural calamities such as typhoons; as well as pests and diseases has affected the productivity of fisheries, thus, hindering fishers from paying and renewing their loans. Failure to access credit could disable them to continue venturing on fishing activities and could eventually jeopardize the welfare of their entire household. The inability of creditors to pay their loans and meet their obligations also impair, to a large extent, the financial operation and viability of the lending institutions. This study analyzes the natural risks and risk management practices of these fishers. It recommends mitigation mechanisms to minimize the impact of natural calamities. Moreover, it suggests a bridge financing scheme that can be an effective and efficient instrument to enable fishers to carry on their livelihood activities and support their families_ basic needs and slowly recover from their losses.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Small-Scale Fisheries Transition to Sustainable and Responsible Fishing In India - A Micro Level Study Author: Kanthiah, Pazhani Small-scale fisheries play an important role in generating employment, income and livelihood to the fisherfolk. It constitutes 81 per cent of the total fisheries sector in India. But, this sector remains neglected and the fisherfolk are socially and economically backward. Even after six decades of planned development nearly 62 per cent of the fisherfolk families do not possess crafts. Resource constraints coupled with absence of fishing and other related infrastructures in most of the fishing villages compel fishermen households to migrate to earn their livelihood. Migrant fishermen formed a new village and follow simple method of fishing, which are eco-friendly, economical in the use of fuel and gears. Their responsible fishing is useful for fishing without any by-catches and wastage of marine resources. With this theoretical background, this paper is framed in such a way to analyze the factors that contribute to the transition of small-scale fisheries to sustainable and responsible fishing in Tamil Nadu, India. Factors which hamper small-scale fisheries development have been discussed. The main focus of the study is on the impact of fishermen migration on the socio-economic status of migrants and also the sustainability of fishing operations without class conflict. Policy implications emerging in the light of the findings of the study are also given briefly.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Consumer Demand for Meat, Poultry and Seafood in Taiwan Author: Lee, Hwang-Jaw Year: 2001 This study provides estimates of a complete demand elasticities matrix for meat, poultry, fishery fish, aquaculture fish, as well as shrimp and shell fish in Taiwan, using the linear approximate almost ideal demand system. Estimation is based on aggregate annual consumption data complied from Taiwan Food Balance Sheets during 1970-1998. The estimated own-price elasticities indicate meat, poultry and seafood are all price inelastic. The results reveal that expenditure effects are strong for meat and fishery fish. The estimated cross-price elasticities are generally small and most products are gross complements. In addition, the effects of household size and the ratio of population aged over 64 on animal products consumption are observed to be significant. Moreover, own-price and expenditure elasticities computed at selected years reveal a possible change in pattern of consumption behavior which, however, may require further statistical analysis.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fishermen and Distribution System in the Fishing Sector of the South Central Vietnam Author: Dung, Phan Thi In the past several years, the fishing sector of the South Central Vietnam have been developing sharply, generating over 226 thousands employments. The sector has contributed a share of approximately 70% to the production value of the fisheries nationwide. The primary aim of this research paper is to assess the factual status of labour and income distribution pattern in fishing activities through some aspects: quantity of labors, education levels of fishermen and skippers, and income distribution methods. The results show the most of households in the fisheries are large in size, and the average income of fishermen is high but they almost live in difficult situations. As a result, their life has been dependent on fishing activities, and educational levels remain to be low. Research results are expected to provide policy-makers with useful information regarding development orientations, specially relevant to eliminating hunger and reducing poverty.
