Living marine resources
1996
Iversen, Edwin S.
Living Marine Resources provides a thorough, up-to-date introduction to all aspects of fisheries science. This clearly written text offers insight into a topic of increasing importance - the wise utilization and management of sea fisheries to maximize production without exceeding their carrying capacity. Adoption of the approaches presented will improve the conservation and management of the many world fisheries that are suffering from years of inefficient practices. Living Marine Resources is an invaluable introduction to the subject for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of fisheries science. In addition, the material presented will be valuable to fishery and social scientists, fishery officers and administrators, and students in biology, engineering, economics, and law.

Jackson, J.C. (ed.)
As part of their collaboration on a world wide research project on fisheries co-management (1995-1999), the Institute o Fisheries Management and Coastal Community Development (IFM-CCD) at the North Sea Centre (NSC) Denmark and the International Centre for the Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) in the Philippines have entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Centre for Applied Social Sciences (CASS) as a research partner in the region. This agreement represents part of a much bigger collaborative. research approach that aims to link National Aquatic Research Systems (NARS) and other research partners from Africa and Asia with the North Sea Centre and ICLARM. This collaboration is based on mutual interest to gain practical experience in, research in fisheries co-management, to demonstrate its applicability as a sustainable, equitable and efficient management strategy, and to develop models for use and adoption by governments, fisher communities NGO and others. The initial list of partners in Asia includes actors from Bangladesh, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand and in Africa Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. In May 1995, and as a follow-up to the exchange of ideas and information between the IFM - ICLARM project and existing and potential research partners in Asia and Africa held in Denmark at the NSC, CASS agreed to act as the initial focal point for the establishment of a possible network of social and natural scientists involved in fisheries co-management in the Central and Southern African Region. As part of this initiative a workshop for existing research partners and other actors and potential partners was planned for November 1995. This report is a summary of the workshop.

Ehrich, Siegfried | Gröger, Joachim
In order to carry out the Multi-annual Guidance Programmes (MGP) the national fishing fleets of the EU were divided into mostly homogenous fleet segments. The current paper describes the single segments of thc German fishing fleet and summarizes their characteristics such as vessel capacity (tonnage in GRT), machine performance (power in kW) and vessel size (total length in m). Another table lists the averaged landings separated per stock and segment for the period from 1990 to 1994. | Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institut, Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries began publishing the Informationen aus der Fischereiforschung = Information on Fishery research in 2010

Pomeroy, R.S. | Trinidad, A.C.
The fisheries sector provides a valuable source of food protein and is one of the primary sources of livelihood and employment in Asian countries. However, it is also within the fisheries sector where extreme poverty continues to persist, particularly within the artisanal subsector—a situation considered to be a serious social, economic and political issue. In recent years, there has been a growing concern among governments and international development agencies for the problems of artisanal fishers in Asia. Yet, compared to the agricultural sector, only minimal attention has been given to fisheries. This chapter gives an overview of the socioeconomic aspects of artisanal fisheries in Asia.

Pitcher, A.
This article presents the events and outcome of an international symposium on fisheries management titled, "Reinventing Fisheries Management", held at the Fisheries Centre of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, 21-23 February 1996. The title itself suggests that the topics would reach beyond present day paradigm as indeed they did.

Sustainability of benefits from capture fisheries has been a concern of fisheries scientists for a long time. The development of fisheries management models reflects the historical debate (from maximum sustainable yield to maximum economic yield, and so on) of what benefits are valued and need to be sustained. Social and anthropological research needs an increased emphasis on bio-socioeconomic models to effectively determine directions for fisheries management
