A unique database was created that describes the methods used to allocate shares in nearly every major catch share fishery in the world. Approximately 54% of the major catch share fisheries in the world allocated the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) solely on the basis of historical catch records, 3% used auctions, and 6% used equal sharing rules. The remaining 37% used a combination of methods, inc...

South Carolina Department of Natural Resources’ Marine Resource Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction Program (MARMAP) collects and analyzes data concerning the South Atlantic Bight’s commercially important snapper-grouper fishery to determine catch limits and conserve the region’s fishery. In addition to conventional trap capture-based data, MARMAP increasingly employs video recordings to dete...

Markov Decision Processes arise as a natural model for many renewable resources allocation problems. In many such problems, high stakes decisions with potentially catastrophic outcomes (such as the collapse of an entire ecosystem) need to be taken by carefully balancing social, economic, and ecologic goals. We introduce a broad class of such MDP models with a risk averse attitude of the decisio...

The primary evidence about the factors determining successful self-governance of common-pool resources (CPR) has come from case studies. More recently, this observational evidence has been complemented by insights from economic experiments. Here we advance a third approach in which the role of local deliberation about the management of a fishery resource is investigated in a field experiment. U...

We describe the process used in the fisheries management system of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to minimise seabird bycatch, and the risk-assessment methodology developed to assist this. We examine the progress of several Regional Fishery Management Organisations in taking steps to address seabird bycatch. CCAMLR has the most advanced system ...

Fish and fishery products are rich in protein. With the growing world population and increase in awareness on health benefits of fish consumption, there is an ever increasing demand for high quality fish protein diets and this could also be met through maximum utilization of fishery resources. In practice, fish is preserved by different methods like freezing, canning, salting etc. The preparati...

Coastal Resource Management (CRM) are activities that achieve sustainable use and management of valuable resources in coastal areas. This study presents the perceived impact resource interventions implemented by Bureau Fisheries Aquatic Resources (BFAR) under FishCORAL Project Municipality Milagros, Masbate. The respondents members fisherfolk organizations, Bantay Dagat (BD), community members....

Assessment of fish stock status is generally required for fisheries management, which difficult when the data are limited. The length-based Bayesian Biomass (LBB) approach a powerful and new method, where only length-frequency used estimating resources. Here, we applied LBB method to assess seven commercially valuable marine fishes from northern tip Bay Bengal (BoB), Bangladesh. These species w...

This review aims at summarizing the findings of studies published over the past 15 years on the application of modified atmosphere (MA) systems for shelf life extension of fish and fishery products. This review highlights the importance of CO₂ in the preservation of seafood products, and underscores the benefits of combining MA technology with product storage in the superchilled temperature ran...

Ukraine ranks first in Europe the number of natural water bodies. These abundant resources are source significant fish resources, which effectively exploited by fishing industry. Rationalization and equal distribution commercial load, reduction pressure on main species has always been an urgent issue. This can be achieved shifting focus to other types fish, will allow rational use entire comple...
