This chapter presents the history of Norwegian fisheries management since 1900, focusing on the system for implementing resource conservation goals. It describes how the Norwegian implementation system has developed incrementally in response to new implementation challenges and outlines in detail the system for handling the most difficult legal and administrative issues in TAC-based management....

A bioeconomic model of key fisheries of the Barents Sea is run with scenarios generated by an earth system model of intermediate complexity to assess how the Barents Sea fisheries of cod (Gadus morhua) and capelin (Mallotus villosus) are affected by changes in the Atlantic thermohaline circulation arising from anthropogenic climate change. Changes in hydrographic conditions have an impact on re...

During the past century, commercial fisheries have expanded from small vessels fishing in shallow, coastal habitats to a broad suite of vessels and gears that fish virtually every marine habitat on the globe. Understanding how fisheries have developed in space and time is critical for interpreting and managing the response of ecosystems to the effects of fishing, however time series of spatiall...

Although fisheries production and seafood trade are global in scope, with billions of dollars in exports, the rebuilding of collapsed fisheries often focus on national fisheries policy and management measures, with little attention to global supply chains and international consumer markets. Even with two moratoria and two decades of policy changes since the Northern Gulf cod fisheries collapsed...

Agricultural and fishery products are during transport often require low temperature conditions of transport, in order to meet the basic performance of the product. Enterprises must change the product logistics and transport conditions for cold chain that can be applied to the field of logistics and ensure its quality. In this paper, logistics and transportation in Ningbo, for example, found th...

Aquaculture ranks among the most dynamic food production industries in the world, with an annual growth rate of 9.2% since 1970 [1]. Both the fisheries and aquaculture sectors are facing strengthened regulations, with an emphasis on improving sustainable growth and environmental protection. The New Earth Observation Markets for Fisheries and Aquaculture (NEMA) project has established a number o...

• United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UN, 1982 (known as UNCLOS)), which includes a call for a maximum sustainable yield (MSY) approach to managing fisheries; • United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UN, 1992a (known as UNCED)), including Chapter 17 of Agenda 21 which highlights a precautionary approach; • United Nations Straddling Fish Stocks Agreement of 1995 (...

The International Plan of Action for Reducing Incidental Catch of Seabirds in Longline Fisheries (IPOA–Seabirds) was developed by FAO in response to the growing concern. The IPOA–Seabirds requests countries with longline fisheries that interact with seabirds to develop a national plan (NPOA–Seabirds) to reduce the incidental seabird catch in their fisheries. Several countries in the South Ameri...

Analogous to the recently emerging ‘slow food’movement for the protection of the right to taste (see www.slowfood.com), the concept of ‘slow fish’may be used to convey important messages for protection of fisheries and the right to fish. The slow food movement talks about striking the right balance of respect and exchange with nature and the environment, while enhancing eating pleasure. Similar...
