“…To the best of our knowledge, these two methods have not been used widely in fisheries studies. Exceptions are the work by Pham, Flaaten, and Anh (2013); Salazar (2015); Nguyen and Flaaten (2016); and Salazar and Dresdner (2020). Unlike these studies, however, we employ the two methods simultaneously, which allows us to check the validity of the results and gain a comparative perspective.…”

Subsidies are part of the set of management tools that governments apply to modernize their fishing fleets and enable them to engage in offshore and international fisheries. Research has shown that subsidies often lead to overcapacity and overfishing, resulting in the depletion of fish stocks. A few studies have, however, found some positive effects for particular subsidies.In this paper, we investigate a credit-linked subsidy scheme in Vietnam, which seems to be justified on the basis of economic, social, and environmental considerations. Both propensity score matching and endogenous switching regression methods are employed for analysis. The results show that the subsidies have had a positive effect on fishermen's profitability, mainly due to increased revenue rather than cost reduction. However, the subsidies have benefited only the owners of the biggest vessels, and inefficiency in subsidized vessels may threaten resources and profitability in the long term.

“…Note that while globally crew's remuneration arrangements for most fisheries are based on shared remuneration systems (i.e., the fishing crew is paid a proportion of the fishing revenues or value of the landed catch or profits) [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], in the Liberian coastal industrial fishery the crew remuneration is time-based, i.e., fixed monthly salary and a bonus, usually paid through the captain and ranges between 5-10% of the value of landings. In this study crew's bonus was estimated to be 8%.…”

A Bio-Economic Analysis of the Liberian Coastal Fisheries

Many coastal fisheries are subject to harvesting externalities due to inadequate regulations compounded by limited enforcement. Coastal fisheries in Liberia consist of a fleet of dugout canoes (Kru) primarily targeting demersal finfish, larger open wooden boats propelled with outboard engines targeting small inshore pelagics (Fanti), and a small number of industrial trawlers employing midwater and bottom trawls targeting finfish and shrimp. This paper develops a bio-economic model for the coastal fisheries in Liberia and employs the model to identify economic optimal fishing effort and harvesting trajectories for the different coastal fleets. The results show under harvesting and disinvestments in the coastal fisheries in Liberia. In 2010 the Government of Liberia declared a six nautical mile inshore exclusion zone accessible only to small-scale fisheries (SSF), which was accompanied by increased enforcement. The coastal fleets in 2016 were profitable but the distribution of profits was tilted to the small-scale fleets. The government needs to evaluate what policy options are available to fully utilize the fisheries potential for different species complexes while at the same time reduce the risk of conflict and overharvesting. There appears to be a need for investment in new technologies, which can only take place if fishing in Liberia will remain profitable.

“…In determining the operation profile, there will be some factors should be considered such as the radius of the fishing vessel will operate, time for setting and hauling the purse seine, time for searching the fish, and how many settings and hauling will be doing [7]. Those factors will be considered to choose the best operation profile, which has the long radius with many fishing activities and also operate in one day.…”

⎯ Natuna Sea is one of the places in Indonesia, which has a high potency of fish up to one million ton per year. Fisherman in Indonesia relies too much on the fossil fuel, which has limited resources. The author wants to redesign the fishing vessel into the battery electric fishing vessel that can be recharge to reduce the use of fossil fuel and also to increasing the revenue of the fisherman. To minimize the capacity of the battery, the fishing activities concept is also change into centralized fishing activities which the activities is centralized in an open sea and has the offshore building as the fishing base that has power station to recharge the batteries and cold storage to collect all the fishes. As the object to redesign, it is used 10 GT purse seine fishing vessel. As the results of the calculation, it gets the total battery capacity 6000 Ah for operation 11 hours (4 hours travel time, 6.5 hours fishing activities, and 0.5 hours break). Based on the technical and economic analysis, it can be concluded that the battery electric fishing vessel has a better revenue and fewer expenses than the diesel-powered fishing vessel. Keywords⎯ batteries, electric propulsion systems, fishing vessels, Natuna Sea.
