Towards an appropriate economic management regime of tuna fisheries in Ghana
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2003-06-02)The Ghanaian tuna fishery is a baitboat and purse seine fishery. Three main species of tuna are caught namely, Skipjack, Bigeye and Yellowfin. A detailed and comprehensive set of catch and effort data for the tuna fisheries has been obtained for the period 1980-2001. Harvest functions have been designed and estimated. By maximising the loglikelihood function by numerical methods, parameter ... -
Management of Lake Ziway fisheries in Ethiopia
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2003-06-02)This study has been conducted in the northern most Rift Valley lake fishery – lake Ziway.

The aim of the analysis was to review the present management situation of the lake and to apply bioeconomic theory to estimate the maximum and economic yields of the lake. The Schaefer’s surplus production model has been employed to ... -
An assessment of the vulnerability of Ghana's coastal artisanal fishery to climate change
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2003-06-05)Considering the fact that nearly 25% of the Ghanaian people live in the coastal zone and about 10% depend on the coastal fishery for livelihood, it is likely that any changes in the production of the fishery may impact on the socio-economic lives of the people. For the past four decades, climatic conditions ha ve been found to be changing in the country. This period coincided with the conspicuous ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2003-06-05)The rose-spotted snapper, Lutjanus guttatus, seems to be sequentially exploited by the shrimp trawler and the artisanal fleet along the Pacific Coast of Guatemala. The growth parameters of the snapper were estimated in the present study with basis on material collected in two fishing harbours. Other biological and fishery information was compiled to simulate stock dynamics with a yield-per-recruit ... -
Ecosystem effects of red king crab invasion. A modelling approach using Ecopath with Ecosim
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2004-05-28)Barents Sea ecosystem is limited. Due to the information available on benthos the Ecopath model of Sørfjord, Northern Norway, was used to investigate possible trophic changes with introduction of king crab to the model. A literature study of the king crab was conducted to find information on diet, mortality, consumption rate and other life history parameters required by the model. A short ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2004-05-28)The Red King Crab and the consequences of its introduction to the Barents Sea and the North-Norwegian coast has been a source for research in many directions for several years. There has not been much financial research, despite the fact that the Red King Crab is a highly valuable nutritional species which gives it a highly economically value. In this thesis I look into the profitability for the ... -
Fishery resources of the Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam. The state of indicator species monitored by bottom trawl surveys
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2005-05-20)In the period 2001-2004 four bottom trawl surveys were carried out in the Gulf of Tonkin to investigate the aquatic stocks in the Vietnamese sector (67,370km2). The Gulf has tropical characteristics and great diversity of commercial species, but lately fishing pressure seems to have grown excessively. The swept-area cruises followed a stratified random design, with a fixed station grid imposed ... -
The Northern fisheries of the Russian Federation. Institutions in transition
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2005-05-23)The existing management system in the Russian fishing industry was created as a result of the political, economic and institutional transformations that took place in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990. This thesis analyses the processes in the fisheries that led to the establishment of the existing institutional and management practice. The study seeks to find out how the ... -
Credit for small scale fishery in Mozambique
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2005-05-23)The small-scale fishery is a traditional activity and enrolled in social and cultural practices of the coastal communities and some places of the inland waters of Mozambique. This activity is one of the largest sources of income and employment. In 1990, Mozambique adopted the market economy and since 1992, the State begun a progressive liberalisation of financial institutions. At the same time, ... -
Prediction of larval viability based on egg quality parameters and early cleavage patterns in the experiments of triploidy induction in Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2005-05-27)Abnormal blastomere morphology may be indicative of low egg viability in fish and therefore represent a useful tool for rapid qualitative assessments for commercial and experimental aquaculture purposes. This work reviews the literature on this subject, and compares early cleavage patterns in a series of preliminary experiments of triploidy induction in Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua. Data from 4 ... -
Bioeconomic assessment of the Mozambican shallow water shrimp fishery
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2005-05-30)The Shallow Water Shrimp fishery is the most important fishing activity in the Mozambican fishing industry. The shrimp resources along the Mozambican coast are concentrated in the Maputo Bay, Limpopo River mouth and Sofala Bank. Sofala Bank is the most important fishing area with around 50.000 Km2. Three main fleets exploit the shrimp resources, namely, artisanal, semi-industrial and industrial. ... -
