Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 1984. / BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The chief sector of the South African fishing industry, demersal trawling is in a state of uncertainty that brings its competitiveness and long term developnent into question. The Hake (Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus) resource, which accounts for 70% of the landed catch, has finally started on the expected road to recovery and it is anticipated that this will proceed shortly for a nunber of years. Durin...

En la segona meitat del segle XX, la industrialització dels vaixells pesquers va donar lloc a una sobreexplotació dels recursos marins a les àrees costeres dels estats tradicionalment pesquers. En conseqüència, els països pesquers industrialitzats van començar a explorar les aigües llunyanes, en gran part sense traves legals, per alimentar la creixent demanda de peix i marisc. Amb l'entrada en vigor de la Convenció de les Nacions Unides de 1982 sobre el Dret del Mar (UNCLOS, en anglès), així c...

This study focuses specifically on the laws and regulations relating to commercial fishing within the Exclusive Economic Zone of South Africa and the impact of illegal fishing (IUU). The goal is to determine how overfishing can be stopped or minimised and ultimately for South Africa to harvest the illegally caught fish in such a way that it becomes part of the South African economy and generates revenue. The study will analyse the international legal instruments applicable and their impact on th...

We propose a method to deal simultaneously with model uncertainty and correlated regressors in linear regression models by combining elastic net specifications with a spike and slab prior. The estimation method nests ridge regression and the LASSO estimator and thus allows for a more flexible modelling framework than existing model averaging procedures. In particular, the proposed technique has clear advantages when dealing with datasets of (potentially highly) correlated regressors, a pervasive...

Small-scale fisheries employ many millions of people around the world, and are particularly important in developing countries, where the dependency on marine resources is high and livelihood diversification options are scarce. In many areas of the world however, small-scale fisheries are at risk which threatens the food security and wellbeing of coastal people. Small-scale fisheries management has in many cases been insufficient and new comprehensive approaches are recommended to achieve social-...

Burke, Adam

This work is about how people develop strategies to make sense of and to deal with the challenges of situating themselves within the global push for 'sustainability.' Sustainability is a concept that I understand to be imagined, socially constructed, remade and ritualized as global actors tote the 'sustainable development' discourse globally and impose it upon local actors' practices. Such foisting typically promises to resolve socio-ecological problems by providing communities with certainties ...

Abdullah, Philip Rodger

The fresh hake processing lines at Seavuna fishing company in Mossel Bay are not consistently achieving their volume output standards and this is resulting in higher processing costs and loss of processing opportunities. The company’s senior management are concerned about this trend and require a complete review of the effectiveness of the resources deployed on the lines. This with the view of establishing the causes of poor process volume output. In order to resolve the process inefficiency cha...

Ghost fishing is the mortality caused by lost fishing gear and as such, its effect on target populations is difficult to quantify. This study seeks to rectify that by developing a methodology to estimate the effect of ghost fishing by lost pots and traps on large crustaceans (crabs and lobsters). Forty-four case studies, consolidated from published literature on the amount of lost traps and their mortality rates, are used as the basis of the calculations. Missing parameters are inferred fro...

Bailey, Megan

In an era of declining fish stocks and habitat degradation, ecosystem-based management (EBM) is considered an alternative approach to ensure the sustainability of marine resource use. EBM explicitly acknowledges humans and ecosystems in the management of fisheries. This thesis provides two economic analyses to be incorporated into an E BM plan being developed by the Raja Ampat regency government, in Indonesia. Specifically, these analyses address the issues of unregulated and illegal fisher...

Analyzing spatio-temporal evolution of global fishing effort provides an insight into mechanisms driving fishing effort temporal and spatial expansions. It also enables contrasting fishing effort spatio-temporal trends against the well-documented fact of overall global depletion of major commercial fish stocks. This thesis presents analysis of the evolution and spatial distribution of port-based global fishing effort from 1970 to 2000. A fishing effort spatial distribution prediction model,...

Chu, Franky K.Y.

This thesis presents a numerical model for the calculation of the flow field and resistance of a fishing net. This numerical method is based on the potential flow theory and an empirical formula to predict the force acting on a mesh of the netting. An experiment to determine the shape, flow field, and the resistance of a conical net has been carried out in the flume tank at the Marine Institute located at St. John's, Newfoundland, and the experimental results are presented as well. The net dra...

Motions and stability of a typical B.C. fishing vessel were experimentally and numerically investigated in a longitudinal seaway condition. The experimental model was self-propelled, radio-controlled and equipped with an on-board data acquisition system. Pitch, roll, yaw, surge, and heave responses to regular waves of predetermined frequencies and amplitudes generated along a 220-ft model basin were obtained. Different displacement conditions and GM configurations were tested. The numerical mod...

This thesis is concerned with the manner in which labour has been employed in the British Columbia fishing industry, and with the more general historical development of a labour force which provides labour power at wages below full subsistence costs. The phrase "cheap labour" refers to this labour force. The thesis briefly traces the emergence of capitalism in feudal England and argues that labour power was priced in two ways. Organised male craft workers fought for the "family wage"; that is, ...

Approximately 24 alien fish species, equivalent to 9 percent of all South African freshwater fish species, were introduced and established into South African waters during the 19th and 20th Centuries (Skelton, 2001). Of the 24 species introduced, the Rainbow trout and the Brown trout have over time become South Africa's most widely spread and used freshwater fish species (Bainbridge, Alletson, Davies, Lax and Mills, 2005). The National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, no.10 of 2004 ha...

Mather, Diarmid John

The main objective of this thesis is to provide an analysis of the economic logic behind fisheries policy and redistribution in South African. An examination of the institutional and organizational evolution reveals that South African fisheries policy followed the world trend in the movement toward quota management systems. However, it is argued that due to the peculiarities of the Apartheid political system, South Africa developed a unique and persistent structure of individual fishing rights t...

Engel, Andrew

International fishing as a special dynamic game will be analyzed, which is a combination of classical population dynamics and oligopoly theory. The interaction of the countries or firms is through market rules assuming that all markets are open to all participants. In addition, all fishing parties base their activity on the existing common fish stock. The available fish stock and the beliefs of the participants on the fish stock are the state variables. Depending on the possible symmetry of the ...

Based on the author's ethnographic research at the Karakuwa fishing community in Japan, this thesis explains a cultural process of the local people's synthesis of the values they place on nature and their everyday behavior in a modern industrial world. Explicated by ethnographic narrative, this study focuses on a revitalization movement similar to others attempted by fishermen in other parts of Japan. These revitalization movements embody values, held by fishermen for centuries, that nature shou...

The time-honored profession of commercial fishing in the Florida Keys is in danger of extinction as each year passes and fewer commercial fishermen remain in an industry that is sinking in the wake of politicians, land developers, and financial woes. At the heart of the problem is the threat of overfishing, a subject that is increasingly at the forefront of media attention and environmental campaigns. The villain in this story of death and destruction more often than not are commercial fishermen...

The problem is to make a separate study of the fishing and farming occupations in order to find out the main weaknesses of each one. At the same time, the most importnat measures for the improvement of each occupation are pointed out, and finally, an analysis is made of the effects which these improvements and consequent specialization have on the economic and social structure of the combination of occupations.

MacFarlane, D.A.

The importance of labour productivity as a factor in income has until recent years been ignored by the fishing industry and especially by the most important element in the industry, the fisherman. The fishing industry of the Maritimes has been one of Canada's depressed industries and in the mind of the fisherman the most serious problem was either the low price he received for his product or the high cost of the things he had to buy to stay in business. Rarely was any thought given to his own pr...

This study focuses on the stories and experiences of Lummi students and their teachers at Ferndale High School from 1970 to 1980. The conditions of schooling for Lummis were affected by the climate of anti-Indian hostility which was fueled by the attitudes about Native fishing rights. This conflict, referred to as the "fishing wars," culminated in the landmark 1974 Boldt Decision. Throughout the 1970s the school was a site where the cultural and political conflicts of the community were ...

The working and living conditions on-board of fishing vessels affect the crew's performance and well being. They contribute to occupational accidents on-board, which cost to the health and lives of crew members. There is also a cost of lost opportunity, when crew members can not perform their duties on-board and have to halt fishing due to deteriorated conditions at sea. In this thesis, a methodology that will allow the inclusion of crew comfort and safety considerations into the prelimina...

Canadian fisheries are in crisis. On both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, stories abound of fisheries closures or failures and coastal communities in difficulty. A new approach to fisheries policy is required, one which recognises the intrinsic value of all participants in the fisheries ecosystem and is capable of providing guidance on how to make policy decisions. The principles of environmental ethics provide a framework for developing justice-based fisheries policies. The environmental...

The purpose of the study is to explore and understand the influence of several factors that potentially contribute to differences in performance of cooperative fisheries organizations in Yucatan State, Mexico. The three independent variables examined in this study, as influences on fisheries cooperatives performance are organizational issues, market structure issues, and the ability of cooperatives to adapt to external change. These factors were identified as potentially important for fisheries...
