درباره این کتاب:
The fishing
industry's critical dependence on the
natural environment makes it very
different from other economic sectors. How
it can optimally exploit a common resource
while ensuring its sustainability raises
many economic challenges.
This book, suitable for undergraduate and
postgraduate courses on fisheries
economics and management, provides an
introduction to the economics of the
fishing industry and the role of fisheries
in the world economy. The book's primary
focus is on capture fisheries, although
the discussion brings in wider aquaculture
for comparative analysis. The key economic
concepts that drive the industry, most
notably sustainable yield, are explained
in detail, before examining how the
industry puts them into practice in a
complex regulatory environment. The
variability of fish stocks is considered
and case studies of some spectacular stock
crashes are discussed. The law of the sea
is explained and how the movement of fish
stocks across ocean boundaries has created
regulatory bodies to manage international
fisheries. At the heart of this management
lies the quota system and the book
outlines how it works and how,
controversially, such quotas have become
transferable.
The book offers readers a comprehensive
and rigorous guide to the economic
considerations motivating the industry and
highlights the environmental challenges
facing the sector as global consumption of
fish continues to rise.
