An important aspect of the latter is the possibility of integration into the world economy (through trade and capital flows) is a crucial and related element of the former. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a particularly important element of the transition process itself and economic integration, ...

The Svartnes basin stock of Pandalus borealis Krøyer, 1838 was investigated in the east Atlantic boreal zone of Balsfjord (northern Norway). The scope of the study spanned 12 years (March 2010 - October 2021), including two periods; prior to January 2017, with no commercial shrimp fishing; and after 2017, with commercial shrimp fishing. The study sought to determine the effects induced by size ...

The objectives of the study were to assess the bioaccumulation and genotoxic effects of PAHs and their alkylated PAHs from marine diesel fuel and coal polluted sediments in two populations of Gammarus setosus. Testing whether the alkylated forms are bioaccumulating more than their parent compounds, the degree of oxidative stress and ulterior DNA SSBs in the amphipods, as well as possible adaptation ...

Skipjack tuna fishery in the Maldives is the most important and by far the predominant fishery in the country. This fishery is an open access fishery and has been developing over the years. With the technological development fishers have been moving further in search of fish and catch has been increasing steadily. No stock assessment of the exploited tuna stock has been undertaken. Effort data from ...

The objective of this study is to investigate the sustainability properties of the stock and management of the shrimp trawl fishery in the Tonkin Gulf, Vietnam. Surplus production models of Verhulst-Schaefer and Gompertz-Fox are applied to the shrimp trawl fishery, which is a typical tropical fishery with the characteristic properties of small scale and multi-species fisheries. There are two ...

After an evaluation of this Nile perch fishery for the period 1986 – 2000, when it constituted more than 60% of the catch, it is evident that a severe over fishing problem exits and that the fishery has never been managed for economic efficiency. All economic rent from this fishery has been and continues to be dissipated. The effort in 2000 is 64% higher than that required to take MEY and 44% ...

Atlantic salmon export plays an important role in the total Norwegian seafood export. EU countries are currently the main markets for Norwegian salmon export. China is one of the countries which are expected to have an increased demand for Norwegian salmon. Norwegian fresh salmon exporters are currently facing the trade barriers with respect to new inspection regime and high transportation costs ...

Depending on the particular institutional and organizational set-up, different management tasks can be suitable for different forms of co-management arrangement. This thesis focuses on examining the possibility of implementing the marketing-oriented fisheries co-management in Lake Victoria (Tanzanian side) for Nile perch fisheries. The community-based organization BMU was selected as fisher’s ...

Scientists are becoming increasing aware that many of the world’s cartilaginous fish stocks are particularly vulnerable to overexploitation by modern fishing activities. Very little is known about the cartilaginous fish stocks found in the North Norwegian coastal area. In other areas some of these species have been severely depleted by fishing. The aim of this study was to broaden the knowledge these ...

For years, small-scale fisheries were marginalized until this sector gained international recognition after the FAO's voluntary guidelines for securing SSFs were endorsed in 2014. Since then, there has been active research, especially in developing countries, to implement these guidelines. Small-scale fisheries that are diverse, complex, and dynamic are challenging to govern and require a ...
