Potential of fluorescence fingerprints for fish meat authentication: Differences in freshness evaluation in white and dark meat at frozen state.

As dark meat has a faster deterioration rate and its unintentional mixing occurs during processing, it is crucial to know the status and freshness indicators of dark meat to ensure fishery product quality. In this method, fluorescence fingerprints (FFs) was applied as a rapid and noninvasive quality authentication method to determine differences between white and dark meat in the evaluation of freshness indicators at frozen state. Spotted mackerel (Scomber australasicus) fish chunks with different postmortem conditions (0-40h ice stored) were obtained and frozen. A new generation of fluorescence spectrophotometer (F-7100) was used to acquire FFs of the frozen fish chunks (containing white and dark meat). Adenosine triphosphate metabolites and pH were determined in both white and dark meat using their relevant biochemical methods. Higher K-values in dark meat might be attributed to a higher accumulation rate of inosine (HxR) in dark meat than in white meat. The pH decrease rate in white meat was higher than that in dark meat during postmortem ice storage periods of fish. Principal component analysis of FFs spectra demonstrated clear discrimination (PC1+PC2=91.7%) between white and dark meat of frozen fish due to the influence of freshness parameters based on the fluorescence features of fish meat. Furthermore, partial least squares regression validation models revealed that freshness indicators of white meat could be predicted more accurately at the frozen state than those of dark meat. This method could be applied during the processing of fishery products, thereby facilitating quality control activities and making it a promising authentication tool for the fisheries industries.

One City One Added Value: Almus Dam

Cities defined as living units; They are important formations that can transfer to the society many features of this geographical area, which they surround as much as they own their geographical limitations, The added values that cities have created on the social area cannot be denied. One of the most important added values created by cities is the added value seen at the socioeconomic level. In this context, Tokat City was chosen as the city within the scope of the paper. The reason why Tokat was chosen is to present the socioeconomic added value created by the Almus Dam which was one of the important achievements of the republican period and which was established in the Almus District, at the city level. In order to reveal this added value, the original documents obtained from the Republic Archives of the Prime Ministry and the newspaper news on the online platform were studiously examined with the content analysis method, and the valuable outputs obtained by compiling among themselves were shared with the reader. Paper is at a level that can fill an important gap in the literature, both due to the fact that the studies on the city history of the Republican period are less in quantity and because of the limited number of studies directly related to the Almus Dam. According to the results obtained, after the Almus Dam enter into service; ıt has created an undeniable socio-economic added value in agriculture, fishery industry, employment and energy production. In order to increase the contribution of the paper to the literature, it is the most usual suggestion to reach the socio-economic numerical outputs related to the Almus Dam and to evaluate these outputs on the level of district and city

Analysis of Economic and Environmental Feasibility of Using Biodiesel as an Alternative Fuel for Fishing Vessels in Indonesia

This research aims to analyze the economic and environmental feasibility of using biodiesel as an alternative fuel for fishing vessels in Indonesia. This research uses cost-benefit analysis, greenhouse gas emission analysis, and sensitivity analysis methods to evaluate the impact of biodiesel use on economic and environmental aspects. The results show that the use of biodiesel as an alternative fuel for fishing vessels in Indonesia is economically feasible, as it can save fuel costs, reduce dependence on imported diesel, and increase the added value of fishery products. The use of biodiesel is also environmentally feasible, as it can reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and other pollutant emissions generated by fishing vessels. The economic and environmental feasibility of using biodiesel as an alternative fuel for fishing vessels in Indonesia is quite stable and not sensitive to changes in conditions that may occur in the future. This research provides recommendations for the government, fishery industry, and society to support the development and implementation of biodiesel as an environmentally friendly alternative fuel for fishing vessels in Indonesia.

Assessing the Seafood Trade Diversion Arising from Economic Sanctions: Evidence from Russia and Western Countries.

Since 2014, economic sanctions between Russia and Western nations have significantly altered the global seafood trade. The consequent decline in bilateral trade also had spillover effects on the rest of the world (ROW). According to earlier studies, economic sanctions appear to negatively impact bilateral trade and income. However, few studies examine how Russian sanctions affect the world as a whole and estimate their effects on the fisheries industry. This study seeks to close this gap by quantifying the extent to which Russian sanctions have impacted trade in terms of trade deflection, trade destruction, trade depression, and trade creation. To this end, panel data from 185 countries were created for the years from 2005 to 2020. With trade policy variables that account for changes in trade channels, a structural gravity trade model was specified. Based on calculations using the Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood (PPML) fixed effect model, economic sanctions led to a 119.28% surge in Russia's seafood imports from the rest of the world (ROW), alongside a 39% decline in imports from Western countries. The extent of trade deflection, which includes the exports of Western nations diverted from Russia to the ROW markets, increased by 5.49%. The results demonstrate that trade between sanctioned states, as well as global trade, is significantly impacted by economic sanctions.

Spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of sea ice disasters in the Northern China Sea from 2001 to 2020

The sea ice disaster is one of the major marine disasters in China. The presence of sea ice poses a potential threat to the social-environmental system in the Northern China Sea during winter. The study focused on investigating the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of sea ice disasters in the Northern China Sea during 2001–2020, including exploring the variation of sea ice hazards, climate drivers influencing sea ice occurrence, and the subsequent impacts on maritime activity and marine aquaculture. The results show that the sea ice grade in the Bohai and Northern Yellow Seas (BNYS) exhibited a slight downward trend (−0.40/decade, P > 0.10) during the past two decades. The winter temperature and the frequency of cold waves are the primary local climate factors for sea ice variation. The decrease in sea ice grade in the BNYS due to global climate change does not eliminate the occurrence of extreme events. However, the potential for more severe damages remains. It is worth noting that the winters of 2010, 2011, and 2013 stand out as periods with the highest recorded direct economic losses caused by sea ice hazards. In terms of spatial distribution, Liaoning and Shandong provinces have experienced the most severe impacts of sea ice hazards. Sea ice has a negative impact on the throughput of ports that are influenced by sea ice. Significant moderate negative correlations (r = −0.40, P < 0.10) have been observed between port throughput and the sea ice index in Yingkou, Jinzhou, and Tianjin ports. Moreover, the mariculture industry emerged as the primary sector affected by sea ice disasters in the Northern China Sea between 2001 and 2020. Attention should be paid to Haizhou Bay shortly as marine aquaculture in this area has been seriously affected by sea ice in the past five years. In the future, it is crucial to prioritize more accurate and refined monitoring and forecasting of sea ice, enhance the provision of effective icebreaking and pilot services, and optimize the fishery industry structure to prevent sea ice disasters in the Northern China Sea.

Efficiency Analysis of China Deep-Sea Cage Aquaculture Based on the SBM–Malmquist Model

Deep-sea cage aquaculture (DSCA) is an important way to expand new space for marine aquaculture, promote the transformation and upgrade of the fishery industry, and optimize the structure of marine aquaculture. Using the panel data of DSCA in China’s coastal areas from 2013 to 2021, this study constructs the SBM–Malmquist model to measure the DSCA production efficiency and analyzes its total factor productivity. The results show that the overall DSCA production efficiency exhibited an increasing trend in spite of a sharp decline in 2019. The efficiency exhibited regional differences, being the strongest in the Bohai Sea region, followed by in the Yellow Sea, the South China Sea, and the East China Sea regions. The overall total factor productivity remained generally stable, although a large fluctuation occurred between 2019 and 2021. Both pure technological efficiency and scale efficiency promoted the total factor productivity in 2019–2021, while the efficiency of technological changes in societal aspects declined. This study shows that the DSCA production efficiency is significantly influenced by input factors such as labor and capital investment. In addition, natural disasters inhibit the improvement of the production efficiency to some extent.

Maintaining the future through recurrent crises

Einar, a 94-year-old Faroese man who has always resided on the island of Suðuroy, has lived through several societal crises. In this article, I explore his experiences of living through three of them, highlighting his ability to maintain an imagination of in the future and detailing how crises interact over time. I propose that Einar’s upbringing in the cycles of crisis characterising fishery, combined with other factors, led him to develop a particular engagement with the future that mitigated crisis-induced uncertainties. Previous crises served as resources to address current calamities, as such experiences taught Einar that, in even the direst situations, the future will eventually improve. However, Einar temporarily sight of the future when the Faroese fishery industry imploded in the 1990s. Einar questioned whether sufficient resources existed to allow him and the village to recover. The 1990s crisis momentarily gained a personal character; however, due to his age, stable socioeconomic position, and close social and affective ties to the people on Suðuroy, he reaffirmed his decision to stay on the island. Einar’s story showcases the importance of considering people’s experiences and unique positions amidst societal crises—be they temporary, slow, recurrent, or chronic, but also of studying experiences of time. Numerous factors constitute the membrane regulating when societal crises become personal. Crises cannot be understood as singular or isolated events. Instead, crises must be comprehended through their cumulations and entanglements, which involve people’s imagination of the future in unpredictable ways.

Analysis of Fishery and Forestry Ventures and Poverty Reduction in Nigeria

Fishery and forestry ventures are sub-sectors of agriculture with the potential for poverty reduction through employment creation, value addition, and improvement in export earnings. Nevertheless, they have received relatively less attention from all levels of government in Nigeria. This paper examined the effect of fishery and forestry ventures on poverty reduction in Nigeria between 1976 and 2022. Ex-post facto research design was adopted. Data were sourced from CBN annual statistical bulletin, the National Bureau of Statistics, publications of the World Bank, as the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. NARDL was adopted for data analysis. Phillip-Peron Unit root tests revealed a uniform order of integration, while Co-integration Bounds test revealed no existence of long-run relationship between the fishery and forestry ventures and poverty reduction. Findings revealed that agricultural production in fishery and forestry has no significant long-run nexus with poverty reduction in Nigeria. The paper recommended that the Federal Department of Fisheries should engage reputable research institutes and colleges in the fishery industry in Nigeria to train and retrain participants in the sub-sectors to provide skilled workforce in the development of sustainable fishery production towards poverty reduction in Nigeria. The paper also recommended that regulatory agencies in the forestry sub-sector in Nigeria appoint more supervisors and enforcement officers to ensure adequate regulation of the industry towards adding maximum economic value to the exploration and exploitation of the forestry resources in Nigeria by reducing leakages and ensuring that adequate taxes and levies are paid including collection of relevant penalties from defaulters in order to attain sustainable income generation and poverty reduction among the accredited participants.

Bangus (Chanos Chanos) Fry Counter

Agriculture has a key role in the Philippines economy, particularly the fisheries industry, which contributes 15% of the country’s overall income. The sector offers significant employment and income for various parts of population, contributes to export earnings, and meets a large portion of the population’s nutritional protein requirements. In terms of employment, the fisheries sector employs over one million people, or about 5% of the nation. The general objective of the study is to develop a portable bangus fry counter for the University of Antique – Hamtic Campus, Hamtic, Antique, and an affordable fry counter for the local fish fry vendor, fish pond owner and others that can benefit in this thesis. The researchers used the Arduino for the operating system and the light censor for the input and the LCD for the output. For the data gathering, the researchers used the ISO 25010 characteristic, the weighted mean formula to solve the mean and the Likert scale. The prototype showed excellent performance in terms of counting the bangus fry quantities. Based on the results of the evaluation, the participants strongly agreed with the functionality, reliability, portability, maintainability, security, compatibility, performance efficiency and usability of the device.

디지털 전환 시대의 스마트 양식장 입지 타당성 평가방안 연구

The seriousness of the domestic fisheries industry has fundamental problems, starting mainly due to the depletion of fishery resources, the aging of fishing workers, and the aging of fishing boats and equipment, and the production of coastal fishing (capturing and fishing methods) continues to decline every year due to problems such as illegal overfishing, global warming, and environmental pollution. Despite this situation, global seafood consumption is increasing and the per capita meat consumption is approaching. To this end, a continuous and stable supply system can be established only by further expanding the smart management system that further develops the existing aquaculture industry (farm culture) beyond the traditional fishing method and innovatively improves the inland aquaculture on land. As a result, smart farming will be able to quickly recognize changes in aquaculture conditions, water temperature, and water quality by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), big data technology, information and communication technology (ICT), and the Internet of Things (IoT), respond to the situation, and engage in stable aquaculture.

The role of the fishery industry in the shift towards sustainable food security: a critical study of blue food.

Blue foods have traditionally been undervalued in their contribution to global food systems. Yet they are incredible sources of locally produced nutrition for millions of people. In late 2022, there was a call for global action on food system transformation in the United Nations Food Systems Summit. The Blue Food Assessment, a scientific assessment of blue foods and their potential to contribute to sustainable and just food systems, reveals gaps where innovation could meaningfully bolster the blue food ecosystem. This article aims to examine the dynamic impact of the fishery sector on long-term food security in 27 European Union (EU27) countries while considering the contribution of agricultural output, energy production, economic development, and governance between 1990 and 2022. The findings showed a substantial positive link between fishery production and sustainable food security at a 5% statistical level, except the fifth quantile, using the new method of moment quantile regression (MMQR) with fixed effects. From the first to the ninth quantiles, fishery output considerably improves sustainable food security, with a more substantial benefit at the highest (≈ 0.021) and a lower impact at the lowest quantile (≈ 0.010). The findings also show that the EU13 developing countries see a more significant positive impact, at a 5% statistical level, on sustainable food security from fishery output than the EU14 developed nations. On the other hand, the findings also show that the EU14 developed countries see a more significant positive impact, at a 1% statistical level, from the agricultural output on sustainable food security than the EU13 underdeveloped nations. The results show a strong positive correlation between agricultural production and long-term food security at the median and most recent quantiles (≈ 0.362). In the EU27 area, sustainable food security rose across median and recent quantiles, supporting the growth hypothesis for nations that produce fisheries. In the EU27, the impact of governance was positive and statistically significant at 5% for both older and more recent quantiles. The findings also show that the EU14 nations have a more substantial beneficial effect of governance, at a 1% statistical level, on sustainable food security than the EU13 countries. With the help of effective fishery sector production, policymakers may raise the degree of food security in the EU14 and EU13 nations and ensure long-term food security.

A Review of Suckermouth Armoured Catfish (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) Invasion, Impacts and Management: Is Its Invasion a Threat to Bangladesh’s Fisheries Sector?

Suckermouth armoured catfish of the genus Pterygoplichthys (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) are significant threats to aquatic biodiversity, ecosystems, habitats, and fishery production in different countries. Their unique characteristics and adaptive features help their successful invasion. These fish harm fish habitats, compete for food and space, prey on fish eggs, and displace the native fish populations. They erode river banks, alter benthic ecology, make holes in the river bank, and remove aquatic plants. Elimination, control, and intrusion prevention are possible management strategies. Utilising them as food and preparing value-added products and byproducts using them are viable ways to reduce their number. Management is challenging, owing to their tolerance and excellent adaptability. With severe dangers to Bangladesh's fisheries industry and aquatic environment, suckermouth armoured catfish have invaded natural waterbodies and aquaculture ponds. There is a lack of accurate information on invasion status, types of invading species, and potential dangers of invasion to create a management framework in Bangladesh. Therefore, this review introduces the key characteristics, habitats, invasion impacts, and management and utilisation aspects of suckermouth armoured catfish in different countries. The review may help in understanding how they affect native fish, aquatic organisms, habitats, and the aquatic environment globally. Finally, what kind of threats they may pose and how they can be managed sustainably in Bangladesh.

Estimating the impact of fishery industry on marine pollution: New insights from Method of Moments Quantile Regression

Indeed, waste from marine may have a significant negative economic impact on coastal towns, tourism, shipping, and fisheries. Given its accumulation and spread, waste from marine may be one of the most urgent dangers to the sustainability of marine life and the health of the EU's waters. By considering the role of production in fisheries, fossil fuel use, economic development, and governance from 1990 to 2022, this research seeks to explore the dynamic influence of the fisheries sector on marine hazardous waste in 27 European nations. At higher quantiles, the findings showed a strong positive association between fisheries capacity production and marine hazardous waste at a 1% statistical level using the new Method of Moments Quantile Regression with fixed effects. From the fifth through the ninth quantiles (≈0.250), fishery output considerably increases marine waste, with a more substantial influence at the highest (≈0.239) and a lower impact at the lowest quantile (≈0.056). The findings also show that affluent countries in the EU14 have more significant at a 1% statistical level beneficial effect on marine waste than developing nations in the EU13. Using fossil fuels increased marine waste across all quantiles at a 1% statistical level. Still, economic development in EU14 developed and EU13 developing countries causes marine waste to decrease, at 1% and 10% statistical levels, respectively, supporting the growth theory for nations that produce fisheries. From the first through the ninth quantiles (≈−6.677) in EU27 nations, the influence of governance was adversely significant at a 1% statistical level. The findings suggest that the developed EU14 countries are more affected negatively by governance on marine waste. Using effective and environmentally friendly technology, policymakers may reduce marine waste in the EU14 and the EU13 nations while achieving sustainable development objectives.

An Empirical Study of China's Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery Industry Based on the Fama-French Three-Factor Model

Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery enterprises have performed steadily and well during the epidemic period from late 2019 to the end of February 2020. But there is still a gap in empirical analysis, which deserves further research. This study examines the Fama-French three-factor model's application to China's agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries sectors, and analyzing and interpreting the related results. In this study, the daily return data of 27 Chinese agriculture, forestry and fishery listed companies in the past two years were obtained through the RESSET, and divided into six groups of stock portfolios according to size and book-to-market ratio size, and the relevant empirical and regression analyses were conducted for each portfolio using Python and Eviews. The findings demonstrate that the size impact and book-to-market ratio effect are two parameters in the model that have a high explanatory power on the return of the agriculture, forestry, and fishery stock portfolio in the sample period.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC MECHANISMS OF ATTRACTING INVESTMENTS IN THE AQUACULTURE SECTOR

Topicality. The role of aquaculture in the agricultural structure of Ukraine is difficult to overestimate. During the times of independent Ukraine, the production volume of this industry has been decreasing every year. There are many reasons for this trend - imperfect fisheries management strategies, low level of investment attractiveness, high level of shadow market share and corruption, weak support from the government, high share of imported goods on the market, etc. Due to the invasion of russia into Ukraine, the problems became even more. The question of attracting investment in the aquaculture sector is very urgent, as an opportunity for the development of this industry, as a tool for restructuring the fishery and improving the legislative framework with the aim of better regulating the activities of this industry, as well as increasing the level of import substitution of fish in the country's market. A successful approach to attracting investments in the fishing industry of Ukraine and its regions can help solve problems not only of an economic nature, but also of a social nature (ensuring food security).&#x0D; Aim and tasks. The purpose of the work is to study the current state of the aquaculture industry in Ukraine and to develop recommendations for increasing the level of investment support for this industry.&#x0D; Materials and methods. The article uses a general analysis of the given problem. As an information base, the article uses scientific works of prominent scientists, articles and theses that are in the public domain, as well as interviews and articles of journalists on the given topic. Also, statistical data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine were used to reflect the situation in the industry in practice.&#x0D; Research results. The article indicates the role of aquaculture in the economy of Ukraine, describes the current state of the fishery industry based on statistical data and open sources of information. The current state of aquaculture, compared to other years, is seen as an opportunity to grow to a higher level of profitability and production volumes that were already achievable thirty years ago. Examples of the implementation of laws and support from local governments in the field of aquaculture are given. In order to understand possible ways to improve the state of investment provision of the fishing industry, this research provides the experience of other countries in investing in aquaculture, the features of investing in the blue economy in the EU, and the experience of private companies. Recommendations are given on possible measures to attract investments in the fishing industry. It is also described the procedure for implementing the mechanism of investing in an enterprise or industry.&#x0D; Conclusion. Based on the data indicated in this research, it is concluded that the aquaculture industry is currently in a state of crisis. It was concluded that Ukraine currently has opportunities to attract investments in the aquaculture industry, but state guarantees for investors and protection of their funds during the war are needed.
