Over the past few decades it has become recognised that an ecosystem approach is required to manage world fisheries. Management strategies must ensure that non-target (bycatch) as well as target catches are sustainable. To achieve this, detailed commercial catch and biological information is required. The composition of catches made by trawlers operating off the south and west coasts of South Africa was investigated. Distinct fishing areas were identified on each coast, based on target species a...

Biodiesel (BD) is conventionally produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats with a monohydric alcohol and base catalyst, and known for its many technical and environmental advantages over petrodiesel. However, these oils are not economically viable feedstock due to their value as edible oils. Alternative, inexpensive feedstocks with minimal to no food value such as the large quantities of fishery and animal processing by-products which are often discarded as waste were ...

This study examines the non-linear cointegrated relationship between capture production and the El Nino/La Nina index using the quantile technique proposed by Xiao (2009). According to the annual sample data of 6 Major Fishing Areas in the Pacific Ocean from 1950 to 2008, our empirical findings provide strong evidence that the cointegrating coefficients follow a time-varying process. They also imply that most of these long-run relationships are influenced by potential shocks over time rather tha...

The Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) is home to the largest tuna fishery stock in the world. However, Pacific Island members of the Western and Central Pacific Tuna Commission (WCPTC) argue that their share of the economic rent from the tuna catches taken out of the Pacific region is very small, being on average only about 6% of the total net benefit, when compared to the share earned by Distant Water Fishing Nations (DWFNs). Kiribati is one of the Pacific Island Countries (PICs), which ...

The use of gas chromatography for the separation, comparison, and subsequent identification of flavor volatiles from food products has proven highly successful in recent years. The development of various techniques for the concentration of the volatiles before gas chromatographic analysis has greatly extended the use of this important analytical tool. The injection of vapors directly into the chromatograph without prior concentration is the simplest method and has been used successfully on many ...

One hundred and fourteen strains of Moraxella species isolated from marine fishery sources were investigated to determine the cause of this organism's predominance in seafood. The nutritional requirements, effect of pH, NaCl concentration, and temperature on growth, utilization of carbohydrates, protein, and lipid, resistance to 12 antibiotics, sensitivity to phenethyl alcohol (PEA), production of PEA, and a study of the deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) of the Moraxella strains were performed. Two s...

Declining harvest levels, static agency research budgets, and increasing tension among scientists, managers, and industry members are the legacy of the present research and management institutions in the West Coast groundfish fishery. Cooperative research, the active participation of the commercial fishing industry in scientific research, is receiving increased attention as a potential alternative to current practices. Its strongest attributes are its potential to improve the spatial and tempora...

This thesis employs Karl Polanyi’s concept of the double-movement of capitalism to trace the trajectory of a social movement that arose in response to capitalist transformation in the fishery of Kanyakumari district, south India. Beginning in the 1980s, this counter-movement militantly asserted community control over marine resources, arguing that intensified production for new markets should be subordinated to the social imperatives of subsistence and equity. Two decades later, the ambition of ...

The economic behavior of Hawaii's longline fishers was analyzed using a cross-sectional and time-series dataset from 1991 to 1998. Three empirical essays were written analyzing (1) the technological and economic interrelationships in the longline fishery, (2) trip choice behavior, and (3) vessel entry, stay, and exit decisions of the longline fishers. Studies on the analysis of technical-economic interrelationships among species suggest that Hawaii's longline fishery is characterized by a joint ...

A quota-based integrated commercial fishery owns fishing trawlers, processing plants, and fish quotas. Such a fishery must decide how to schedule trawlers for fishing and landing, how to schedule processing of products, how to schedule labour for processing, and how to plan inventory of raw materials and products. This problem is of great economic significance to New Zealand, whose economy depends to a large extent on the fishery industry. To assist the fishery manager, we develop a mixed intege...

This thesis provides information relevant to fisheries in which there is a desire to establish fisherfolk organizations, but where individualistic social networks rather than social cohesion and community prevail. Such situations in small-scale fisheries are poorly documented, but may define limits to the feasibility of co-management. In the case researched, the government of Barbados is designing a fisheries management planning process, but there is insufficient information on the social a...

Seachange is a study of shifting emphases in Pacific halibut conservation policy, and a story about the changing relationship between people and nature. North American fishery conservation policy cut its teeth on the Pacific halibut fishery. It has been cooperatively managed by Canada and the United States since 1923, and has been at the center of what may prove to be two of the most important debates over fishery policy in the last century. What follows, however, is less a study of specifi...

Ecopath with Ecosim ecosystem models were built for the English Channel (ICES areas Vlld and VIIe) in 1973 and 1995. The 1973 model was run forwards in time with a timeseries of fishing mortality data to assess how realistically the model predicted the changes in biomass that had occurred. The parameters for both models were modified so that the biomass trends reflected stock assessment data. This "tuning" required slight changes to some of the basic input parameters, and the addition of 5 ...

A method for measuring the spatial and temporal distribution offish school densities and exploitation rates using fishery collected acoustic data and voronoi-natural neighborhood analysis is described. A herring purse seiner fishing on non-spawning feeding aggregations, and a herring gillnetter fishing on smaller, highly dense spawning aggregations, in the southern Gulf of St.Lawrence, Canada, collected acoustic data during regular fishing activity for this study. The relationship between gillne...

The British Columbia fishery is in crisis. Environmental conditions and problems with the management of the fishing resource have led to a significant reduction in stocks and created serious economic problems in the industry. Women's work is central to the fishery yet it is often unpaid, underpaid and undervalued. Policies guiding the restructuring of the industry do not take into account the unique circumstances of women in the industry. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to improve ...

The Pacific coast salmon fishery has a legacy extending into the shadows of historic time. Since the last ice age, aboriginal communities have actively participated in the harvesting, regulation and management of the salmon resource. First Nations' societies developed governance structures which regulated resource use and access. Prior to colonization and the articulation of a state resource management system, indigenous systems were the sole management regime and they functioned to sustai...

It is widely known in Mexico that there is a strong tendency to centralize governing functions, although the present government has shown interest in modifying this historic characteristic through the Programa de Decentralization or "Decentralization Program". However, this program has not reached the fisheries sector, which remains mostly controlled by the federal government, excepting the management of a few fisheries of secondary importance. The purpose of this study is to show the manne...

Traceability is often perceived by food industry executives as an additional cost of doing business, one to be avoided if possible. However, a traceability system can in fact comply the regulatory requirements, increase food safety and recall performance, improving marketing performances and, as well as, improving supply chain management. Thus, traceability affects business performances of firms in terms of costs and benefits determined by traceability practices. Costs and benefits affect factor...

Dupont, Diane Pearl

Entry-limiting regulations imposed on common property fisheries have been suspected of encouraging fishermen to substitute unregulated for regulated inputs. This imposes a cost upon society in the form of a reduced amount of resource rent generated by the fishery. Almost no research has been done to provide quantitative estimates of substitution possibilities and the associated degree of rent dissipation. The thesis provides the first estimates of the harvest technology for the British Columbia...

Multispecies fisheries with technical interactions and sparse data present a challenge for assessment scientists, many of whom are now legally required to provide species-specific management advice. A key question is can these data be used to provide species-specific assessments and management advice? Secondly, in light of new assessment approaches, how would new management procedures perform with respect to the status quo? This thesis uses a novel multispecies model to reconstruct historical ab...

The Roe’s abalone (Haliotis roei) fishery near Perth, Western Australia, is uniquely accessible, and highly vulnerable to overexploitation. The sustainability of this intensively utilized fishery requires robust assessment. To facilitate an assessment, this research aimed to provide rigorous and detailed biological information with appropriate interpretation. Four critical aspects of the species’ biology and population dynamics were investigated: (1) the stock structure; (2) the recreational cat...

Overfishing of red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico has significantly increased lately. A major regulation to reduce the overfishing is Total Allowable Catches (TAC) in combination with a season closure. The restrictions on entry lead to an inefficient outcome, however, because the resource is not used by the fishermen who value it the most. As an alternative to restricting entry, transferable rights (TR) programs are being increasingly considered. Under a TR program, a market is created to trade a...
