“…The results also show that full participation in development-oriented FIPs remains dependent on the characteristics of the individual fishing firm. The results indicate that fishers fully participating in PPTST FIP have a greater degree of operation, for instance by their large capacity to finance high costs of operation at a farther distance and through their capability to cope with risks associated with full-time tuna fishing particularly from March to September where catches are lower (see for example [ 68 ]). However, partial participation is dominated by those fishers with smaller ‘one-man, one-boat’ operations, characterised by fishing at shorter distance from shore, and who are dependent on collective capabilities supported by fishing associations and Casas (see [ 69 ] for comparable results).…”

Fisher-Level Decision Making to Participate in Fisheries Improvement Projects (FIPs) for Yellowfin Tuna in the Philippines

This study identifies the capabilities needed by small-scale fishers to participate in Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) for yellowfin tuna in the Philippines. The current literature provides little empirical evidence on how different models, or types of FIPs, influence the participation of fishers in their programs and the degree which FIPs are able to foster improvements in fishing practices. To address this literature gap, two different FIPs are empirically analysed, each with different approaches for fostering improvement. The first is the non-governmental organisation-led Partnership Programme Towards Sustainable Tuna, which adopts a bottom-up or development oriented FIP model. The second is the private-led Artesmar FIP, which adopts a top-down or market-oriented FIP approach. The data were obtained from 350 fishers surveyed and were analysed using two separate models run in succession, taking into consideration full, partial, and non-participation in the two FIPs. The results demonstrate that different types of capabilities are required in order to participate in different FIP models. Individual firm capabilities are more important for fishers participation in market-oriented FIPs, which use direct economic incentives to encourage improvements in fisher practices. Collective capabilities are more important for fishers to participate in development-oriented FIPs, which drive improvement by supporting fishers, fisher associations, and governments to move towards market requirements.

“…We used the Charnes et al (1981) technique to compare efficiency both within the groups of firms and also between them. While this is a very useful method and has been used in a few economics studies (Herrero, 2004;Pascoe & Herrero, 2004), it has never been used in the area of human resources. When the purpose of a study lies in comparing the performance of two groups, Charnes et al (1981) suggested eliminating the efficiency component before comparing the efficient frontier of each of the two groups.…”

“…Although, striped red mullet has a lower income price than bogue. This practice may prove that different fishing strategies and fishermen preferred this métier, which presents a lower risk [45]. Métier Gill2 used gillnet, presenting, as a result, higher gross cash flow, even though B. boops has a low market price.…”

Small-scale fisheries constitute an important component of coastal human societies. The present study describes the small-scale net fisheries on Kalymnos Island (south-east Aegean Sea) that harbors the largest small-scale fleet in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. In addition, this study aims to evaluate their characteristics and economics. Relevant métiers were identified through a multivariate analysis by inputting the main resources and fishing gear data that were recorded during landings. Four main practices were observed being used as fishing gears, gillnets and trammel nets, targeting the species Mullus barbatus, Boops boops, Mullus surmuletus, Scorpaena porcus, and Sepia officinalis. Further analysis, which incorporated data concerning the type of the gear used, revealed 11 distinct métiers. Most of these métiers are practiced by other Mediterranean small-scale fisheries as well, in terms of target species, gear and seasonality. However, the métier that had its target species as B.boops is not practiced in other Mediterranean small-scale fisheries. The seasonal rotation of métiers was determined by the availability of different species rather than their market price. The results revealed the difference in fishing practice used by the fishermen in the study area compared to other fishing practices in the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, the fishermen of this study area targeted more species (B.boops) with a very low market price. They also provided essential information for the development and implementation of management plans aiming at the sustainability of small-scale fisheries.
