Economics of marine fisheries: costs and earnings [Indonesia]
1987
Bailey, C. | Marahudin, F.
Economic aspects of Indonesia's marine fisheries are of critical importance in determining the feasibility of national programs of fisheries development. However, only a limited number of studies have been conducted on the economics of marine fisheries in Indonesia. Here, relevant data from the few available costs-and-earnings studies are analyzed and compared with data from two extensive socio-economic surveys. The purpose is to assess the economic performance of various medium-and-small-scale fishing units. Generally, as a function of investment level, the profitability of small-scale fishing units tends to be higher than in the medium-scale subsector. On the other hand, absolute profits are higher in the latter due to higher productivity. There is considerable variability in economic performance between and within subsectors and even for the same type of year in different parts of the country.
