Locally sustainable resource extraction activities, at times, transform into ecologically detrimental enterprises. Understanding such transitions is a primary challenge for conservation and management of many ecosystems. In marine systems, over-exploitation of small-scale fisheries creates problems such as reduced biodiversity and lower catches. However, long-term documentation of how governanc...

The reef biota in four Tasmanian marine reserves and at associated unprotected reference sites was investigated over a 6-year period following protection from fishing. The largest reserve at Maria Island (7 km coastline length) proved the most effective at achieving species conservation and resource enhancement. The number of fish, invertebrate and algal species, the densities of large fishes (...

1 One shortcoming of marine protected areas (MPA) implementation is the potential for unintended consequences, such as fisheries effort displacement, that cause negative economic and social effects for fishermen and undermine social support for MPA implementation efforts. 2 The objective of this work is to analyse the effects of a proposed MPA system on fisheries in a biodiversity conservation ...

This paper used the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the technical efficiency of fishing vessels in Haizhou Bay, and then used the Tobit regression to define its influencing factors. This study shows that the overall fishing capacity utilization of fishing vessels at present is very low which indicates that there is a serious waste of resources problem in Haizhou Bay. Specifically, th...

Reaction of fishers is an essential source of uncertainty in implementing fishery management decisions. Provided they realistically capture fisher behaviour, models of fishing vessel dynamics provide the basis for evaluating the impact of proposed management strategies. Information flow among vessels has not been a major focus of such models however, although it might play a critical role in ho...

To create an independent and civilized society as stated in the mandate of 1945 Constitution, namely realizing a just prosperous society, is still very ironic with level existence indigenous peoples, especially peoples coastal areas. If we compare it form communities Mainland, different from sea or This because areas, fisherman communities, are hampered managing aquatic resources have problems ...

European small-scale fisheries are confronted with several challenges, notably a decrease in the number of people engaged capture fishing, growing competition from less expensive extra-EU markets, rising operational costs, strict regulations and depletion fishing stocks. Many fishers must adapt to change maintain or increase their income using different business strategies. In this respect, we ...

abstract nowadays, the management of water resources by planning through appropriate site selection, fish species storage and selection, enforcement and providing various side services has become a profitable, entrepreneurial and fun process. survey and usage of development of fee-fishing experience in the world wide represent a model in order to a better economical and fun plan offers and envi...

— This paper discusses the results of an applied research on the fishing activity based on a monitor system developed by a company and fishing reports produced at the end of each fishing activity. Due to economic interests combined with fishing limitations there is a natural tendency for wrong reporting. We apply Data Mining (DM) methodologies to find fishing patterns. These DM techniques in SQ...
