“…In this paper, we accept the suggestion by Cai and Leung (2004) and use the Leontief supply-driven multiplier (LSD) as a backward-linkage measure and the Ghosh (1958) supply-driven multiplier (GSD) as the corresponding forward-linkage measure (See Leung and Pooley (2002) and Cai, Leung, Pan and Pooley (2005) for similar applications of these supply-driven multipliers).…”

“…Recently, Cai, Leung, Pan and Pooley (2005) employed linkage analysis to show how fisheries regulations affected fisheries and non-fisheries industries in Hawaii's economy. In this paper, we suggest a method of calculating these forward and backward linkages for tourism using information from national, regional, or local input-output tables and demonstrate its application by developing tourism linkage indices for Hawaii for the years 1987 and 1997.…”

This paper proposes "linkage analysis" as a complement to the traditional "tourism impact analysis" to examine tourism's economic imprints on a destination's economy.Although related, the two methods are not the same. The starting point of tourism "impact analysis" is "final demand"; impact analysis measures the direct and indirect impacts of tourist spending on the local economy. By contrast, the starting point of "linkage analysis" is the tourism sector; the analysis examines the strengths of the intersectoral forward (FL) and backward (BL) relationships between the tourism sector and the non-tourism industries in the rest of the economy. The FL measures the relative importance of the tourism sector as supplier to the other (non-tourism) industries in the economy whereas the BL measures its relative importance as demander. Directly applying conventional linkage analysis to tourism is not straightforward because tourism is not a defined industry. Thus we develop a methodology to calculate tourism's forward and backward linkages using information from national, regional, or local input-output tables and demonstrate its utility by applying it to Hawaii.

“…For different fisheries, circumstances and regions, numerous ways of reducing by-catch have been suggested (Reeves et al 2005), from modifications of fishing gear (Dawson 1991;Goodson et al 1994), use of active acoustic alarms or 'pingers' (Cox et al 2003;Kastelein et al 2001;Leeney et al 2007), seasonal closures of specific fishery activities (Trippel et al 1996) to complete closure of fisheries (UN General Assembly 1991). Unfortunately, the most effective methods have so far been detrimental to the local fishery industry (Cai et al 2005). This not only affects the fishermen's livelihoods, it also exacerbates the divide and decreases trust between scientists and managers on one hand, and fishermen and local communities on the other (Lowry and Teilmann 1994).…”

Molecular identification of small cetacean samples from Peruvian fish markets

et al. 2010

In the last 60 years, incidental entanglement in fishing gears (so called by-catch) became the main cause of mortality worldwide for small cetaceans and is pushing several populations and species to the verge of extinction. Thus, monitoring and quantifying by-catches is an important step towards proper and sustainable management of cetacean populations. Continuous studies indicated that by-catches and directed takes of small cetaceans in Peru greatly increased since 1985. Legal measures banning cetacean takes, enforced in 1994 and 1996, ironically made monitoring highly problematic as fishers continue catching these animals but utilize or dispose of carcasses clandestinely. Hence, in locations where cetaceans are landed covertly or already butchered, molecular genetic methods can provide the only means of identification of the species, sex, and sometimes the population of each sample. Here, we generate and analyse a fragment of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b gene and 5 nuclear microsatellite markers from 182 meat and skin samples of unidentified small cetaceans collected at three Peruvian markets between July 2006 and April 2007. Our results, compared to past surveys, indicate that Lagenorhynchus obscurus, Phocoena spinipinnis, Tursiops truncatus, Delphinus capensis, and D. delphis continue to be caught and marketed, but that the relative incidence of P. spinipinnis is highly reduced, possibly because of population depletion. The small number of possible sampling duplicates demonstrates that a high monitoring frequency is required for a thorough evaluation of incidental catches in the area. A wide public debate on by-catch mitigation measures is greatly warranted in Peru.

“…The estimate of the backward linkage constitutes parts of the forward linkage, and some uncertainties are also included in the calculation of the forward linkage (Cai and Leung, 2004;Cai et al, 2005;Dietzenbacher, 2002;Leung and Pooley, 2001;Miller and Blair, 2009). This study uses the Leontief inverse matrix from the direct consumption coefficient to investigate the backward and forward linkages among the industrial sectors.…”
