“…The decrease in production might be further aggravated by environmental factors (i.e., weather conditions), social (i.e., conflict with other users), and economic (i.e., increased fuel price) that the fishers encountered. Guillen and Maynou (2016) stated that the main reasons for the decrease in economic performance and fishing activity of fishers are increases in fuel prices together with low prices of fish and low fish productivity. The author also further concluded that fuel cost can represent 50% of the total fishing cost, so fishing performance is very dependent on the fuel price.…”

The study was conducted to determine the status of Decapterus macrosoma stocks in the Babuyan Channel. Data were collected from January 2016 to December 2017 following the standard methodology of the National Stock Assessment Program (NSAP). The data were analyzed using the Fisheries Stock Assessment Tool II software and R package. Results showed that the species is available throughout the year and is most productive during summer. Decreased catch landings were affected by environmental, biological, social, economic, and regulatory factors. Beach seine has the largest contribution of catch but has the most number of immature catches. The highest catch per unit effort for all the gears occurs from February to June. Fishing mortality for beach seine (F = 2.98) is higher than the natural mortality (M = 1.76) values, indicating that the species is already experiencing high fishing pressure. D. macrosoma exhibited a bimodal mode or recruitment with unequal strengths. Similarly, the observed exploitation ratio (E = 0.63) is beyond the sustainable exploitation level. In order to sustainably manage the species population, introducing environment-friendly gear, banning beach seine, and establishing Marine Protected Areas should be implemented to support species productivity. These are some of the effective management measures being implemented in different parts of the country and found in the study of Cabigas et al. (2012), Valdemarsen and Suuronen (2001), and Hilborn and Ovando (2014).

“…High fuel prices and the consequent increase in fuel costs often lead to a reduction in fishing effort and changes in fishing strategies [3][4][5][6][7][8], aiming at reducing fuel consumption and costs. This implies that the weight of landings in 2022 could well be below the average annual quantities landed.…”

“…In 2021, fuel costs represented 21% of the operational costs in the EU fishing fleet [2]. Hence, the economic performance of the fishing sector is very sensitive to fuel prices [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

Economic Impact of High Fuel Prices on the EU Fishing Fleet

Energy prices increased sharply because of the military invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022, heavily impacting global economies. In 2022, the EU fishing sector paid on average about EUR 0.93 per liter of fuel; at the peak of the crisis in June, it paid EUR 1.2 per liter, around three times the normal average price. High fuel prices jeopardize the viability of the fishing sector, which is largely fuel-intensive and particularly vulnerable to fuel price increases. The European Commission responded with emergency measures, adopting a Temporary Framework for State aid rules and activating the crisis mechanism foreseen under the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF). This communication aims to examine the economic impact of the high fuel prices and the financial support available to the EU fishing sector to assess the short-term and long-term sustainability of the EU fishing sector.

“…Curiously, little is known about the impact of a large reduction in fishing effort (either through fewer trawlers or fewer fishing days) on fish markets as well as on the economic situation of fisheries (Guillen and Maynou, 2016;Sabatella et al, 2017). In this paper, we focus on this issue using the following natural experiment.…”
