  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Market Power and the European Tuna Oligopsony: Implications for Fisheries and Trade Author: Mongruel, Rémi, Jiménez-Toribio, Ramon, Guillotreau, Patrice Some recent studies have shown the outstanding price linkages at the global scale between the cannery-grade tuna markets over the last decade. When it comes to price transmission along the European value chains, opposite results between the two major species (skipjack and yellowfin) are found: the market for final goods is actually segmented between the northern European countries consuming low-priced skipjack imported from Asia and the southern countries producing and importing yellowfin sold on their domestic markets at higher prices. If the former market is supposedly competitive, there is more suspicion of market power exercised on the latter. Through a structural and dynamic I.O. model already tested for other species in previous research, this paper explores the possible existence of market power exercised either by processors on the one hand (canned tuna sold in France) and/or by retailers on the other (French supermarkets). Some explanations are given in terms of industrial concentration for both processing and retailing industries and the marketing organisation itself. The high level of trade barriers protecting the European industry may also serve as a determining factor.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Several Major Factors Influencing Revenues of the Yellowfin Tuna Long-lining Fishery in Phu Yen Province Author: Phan, Thi Dung Vietnam is in the club of countries gifted with the long coastal line, and strong in marine features accordingly. Fishing operations are artisan characteristic and the management method is primarily open – access. Since the past few years, the yellow fin tuna long- lining fishery has become one sub-sector experiencing high growth rate in the region of South Centre of Vietnam. Phu Yen Province has been a special case in point. Fishers there have invested much capital into developing these ventures that culminates in the sharp increase of vessel numbers, total catch and therefore revenue. This paper is to look into some factors namely engine power (capacity), fishers, production organizations, equipment values, vessel age, baits, education level of skippers, which together impact revenues of the long-lining fishery in Phu Yen Province. Results of the model under examination are statistically significant. Generally, the research findings are consistent to those previously inferred in international papers. Based on this research, some orientations for management have been suggested.
