The purpose of this master thesis is to explore the present situation of the coastal small-scale fishery in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka and to bring an overall picture of the coastal small-scale fishery. To attain this, a strength, weakness, opportunity and threat matrix was formulated. The study also point out the main bottlenecks of sustainable fishery development. Finally the study recommends ...

The European Union has been applying a top-down and centralized approach to management of fish stocks to try dealing with the complexity of the marine environment. Since the establishment of the Common Fisheries Policy in 1983 the principle of relative stability has maintained the main resource “conservation” component of the policy, despite all its criticism for being the major driving factor for ...

This thesis is dedicated to studying the main factors which could affect Norwegian cod by-products in the Chinese market. Norway has been recognized as one of the biggest seafood countries in the world while China shows a preference towards Norwegian seafood. And due to the relationship has been better in the past few years between these two countries, it is worthy to discuss Norwegian seafood ...

The population density of Laos PDR has increased from 15 persons per square km in 1985 to 19 persons in 1995 and to 24 persons in 2005. This has threatened food security, which in Laos PDR is generally synonymous with rice availability. Rice production in Laos rose by 70 percent from 1990 to 2004. Evidence from Vietnam, Malaysia and Central Thailand has shown that the rise of rice production steadily ...

This study examines the extent, drivers and the management of overcapacity in the South African Hake Deep Sea Trawl (HDST) fishery. The research methods were quantitatively based on input-based capacity measures and qualitatively based on subjective capacity measures. The majority of the fishing capacity that operates in the HDST fishery was brought over during the recent allocation of fishing ...

Small scale Artisanal fishing accounts for majority of fish catches in Ghana and it is increasingly substantial to the traditional fishing communities of the country. The existence of fishing dependent communities in Ghana has predominantly been intertwined with the existence of socio-cultural beliefs and taboos. As an attempt to contribute to exploring how these socio-cultural beliefs and taboos ...

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 ...

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 ...

It is predicted that by the year 2050, the world population will reach 9.8 billion (UN, 2017). The need for fish as a good source of nutrition is also increasing. Total global aquaculture production is now exceeding the global capture fisheries production by over 18.32 million tons (FAO,2019). This increasing demand for aquatic animals as human food, limited marine captured fisheries, and the ...

Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) is considered to be a key species in the Arctic marine ecosystems. Yet detailed or even basic knowledge regarding its biology and adaptations, especially during the polar night, are in many cases poor. No field data is presently available on the gonad development of polar cod, its reproductive biology and associated bioenergetics. Accordingly, polar cod was sampled at ...
