Satu Dekade Sejak Krisis Keuangan Global: Analisis Ekspor Perikanan Indonesia dan Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Sektoral

This paper examined the relationship of fishery trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), and sectoral economic growth in Indonesia since the global financial crisis, using quarterly time series data from 2008 to 2018. It is based on the secondary sources of data were collected from Central Bank of Indonesia, Central Bureau of Statistics, and International Trade Center. The ordinary least square regression has been used by the authors to find out the linkages of fishery export to those variables. Furthermore, in this study, the regression results confirmed that there was a positive relationship between exports and GDP of the fisheries sector, it was also found that Indonesian fishery exports were relatively at a positive level despite the global financial crisis.

Complex Network Game Model Simulation of Arctic Sustainable Fishery Trade Cooperation under COVID-19

Under the background of COVID-19, the conditions and environment of international cooperation in Arctic sustainable fisheries have changed. Accurately predicting the impact of environmental changes on the evolution of Arctic fishery cooperation, identifying its key influencing elements, and formulating appropriate corresponding measures have practical value for the sustainable development of Arctic fisheries. Based on the collection of fisheries trade data in Arctic sustainable fisheries trade cooperation countries, this paper builds a trade cooperation network, identifies key influencing factors, establishes a network game model, and uses simulation methods to verify the variables. The results show that the reward value given by neighboring countries has a positive effect on such cooperation. The higher the reward value is, the more countries choose to cooperate. The cooperation cost has the opposite effect, the lower the cost, the more countries choose to cooperate. The impact of cost on cooperation is greater than the incentives. The game structure also affects the outcome of cooperation, and the number of countries participating in cooperation based on the Stag Hunt Model is the largest. The change of network structure will have an impact on cooperation, and the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced cooperation on Arctic sustainable fisheries trade cooperation in the short term.

The propagation of sustainable fishery by Arctic shipping route stakeholders

This research addresses the question of how to better disseminate the concept of sustainable fishery along the Arctic shipping route. The fishery trade network of Arctic is constructed and the complex network theory is applied to conduct the analysis. We further simulate the network by introducing three factors, namely, national will, knowledge absorption capacity and initial propagation node and applying the SIR (susceptible–infective-removed) model. It is found that, in order to disseminate the sustainable fishery concept in the Arctic shipping route, there is a need for countries to increase their national will, increase their capacity to absorb knowledge, and give full play to the role of high-node countries. This paper theoretically suggests three countries of Norway, Denmark, and China to act as initiators of the network and proposes possible measures that countries can take to cooperate on sustainable fisheries development. Our findings offer a useful reference on international arctic fishery cooperation.

Virological screening of wild and farmed fish species: Application of innovative Taqman multiplex real-time PCR protocols

Global demand for seafood is growing and fish stock maintenance becomes a pressing issue, making aquaculture production of capital importance in terms of fish resources sustainability. Therefore, fish disease outbreaks are a significant constraint to fisheries trade and aquaculture production, affecting economic development worldwide. In this study, a virological screening in wild and farmed fish populations was performed by two TaqMan multiplex real-time PCR assays developed to identify/quantify, in a single run, four viruses responsible for major economic losses in fisheries, namely: infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) and viral nervous necrosis virus (VNNV). A total of 323 fish were assessed, being the majority from four species from the Atlantic coast: gilthead seabream and seabass, two extensively farmed species in aquaculture and captured in the wild, and sardine and Atlantic horse mackerel, two of the most consumed fish species in Portugal. The genomes of IPNV (genogroup II) and VHSV (genogroup Ie) were detected in one pool of gilthead seabream and one pool of Atlantic horse mackerel, confirming the importance of molecular tools for viral screening, especially in asymptomatic hosts, since viral infections may impart major economic losses to the fish industry.

Duration and determinants of fishery trade patterns: Evidence from OECD countries

This study performs a survival analysis on fishery trade patterns for fishery products between Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, and investigates whether survival differences of trade patterns exist between major importers and exporters. The results on both fishery products and their respective OECD countries indicate that survival rate and stability of intra-industry trade are higher than those of inter-industry trade, and horizontal intra-industry trade (HIIT) is also higher than vertical intra-industry trade (VIIT). The results are also in line with previous literature, indicating that differentiated products have a longer duration. Survival rates of trade patterns in HIIT increase (lower hazard rate) with average consumption, contiguity, and common language, and decrease (greater hazard rate) with colonial experience. Finally, the policy measures on tariff margins and non-tariff measures are both inconspicuous in HIIT and VIIT, suggesting that the sustainability of HIIT and VIIT comes from the level of average consumption.

Transportation methods for Southern king crab: From fishing to transient storage and long-haul packaging

Live transport of crustacean species is a relatively recent practice that increases the fisheries trade’s chain of profits, without increasing the fishing effort. However, there are few biological and technological studies on developments to enhance animal welfare, reduce mortality rates and consequently avoid economic losses. We aimed to study different transportation and packaging methods to improve the live market practices for the Southern King Crab Lithodes santolla (SKC). To achieve this goal, we conducted two live transport experiments. In the first, crabs were fished and taken (under semi-dry conditions) to the shore either stacked or with free-mobility and then placed in aquaria for recovery. The second experiment consisted of a transport simulation of SKC packed with either Macrocystis pyrifera or burlap bags, as moist materials. In both experiments, we recorded crab vigor and hemolymph metabolites to assess the stress after transportation and during re-immersion. We found that the stress produced by transport to shore disappeared after 48 h of re-immersion in aquaria with seawater re-circulation. Also, burlap bags as packing moist material for long-haul transport decreased the transportation-produced stress and enhanced the recovery of SKC, compared to M. pyrifera packaging. We conclude that crab re-immersion in a stocking center immediately after fishing is essential for the live market, especially to allow survival during further transportation. Additionally, improvements in packing materials not only increase future market earnings, but also improve animal welfare and environmental safety.

Access to fisheries in the maritime frontier of Palawan Province, Philippines

Globally, capital investments are intensifying extraction and contestation over resources in frontier spaces, yet most discussion has focused on terrestrial frontiers. This paper shifts this focus to bring a scaled political ecology approach to examine the access dynamics of fisheries trade in the maritime frontier of Palawan province, the Philippines. We adapt the linked concepts of access and exclusion to highlight how access dynamics unfold at multiple scales. At the local scale, social relations of class and ethnicity serve as important markers of difference that inform control over access to fisheries resources. At the regional scale, we show how engagement in fisheries trade is also shaped by broader historical and geographical contexts of migration and land use change. Access dynamics unfold at multiple inter‐related scales to heavily influence the differentiated social outcomes of expanded fisheries trade.

Determinants for Choice of Fish Market Channels: The Case of Busia (Uganda/Kenya) Border

The study investigated factors influencing the choice of fish traders’ marketing channel by fish trader and the determinants of their gross margins. A multistage sampling technique of 115 fish traders was used. Four key informants and two focus groups participated in the study. A Probit model was used to determine factors that influenced the choice of fish traders’ marketing channel. Findings from the study revealed that volumes of fish traded per month, distance to market, membership to a fish marketing organization, payment mode, household size, presence of other sources of income were statistically significant in determining traders’ choice of marketing channel. In addition, it was found that a formal trader on average sold 6.882 tons of fish whereas 2.095 tons of fish were sold by the informal trader per month. The study therefore recommends that Informal traders be clustered into a marketing organisation; through which they can be trained on business diversification, collective marketing, and group savings to ease access to credit. It is important to eliminate the challenges encouraging informal cross border fish trade by harmonizing regional fish standards, facilitating exchange and use of fishery trade information. Further, there is need to strengthen the data collection systems in order to have accurate estimates on the contribution of fish to trade and food security.

Brexit and its economic consequences

AbstractAs the formal process of Brexit has already started, there is much uncertainty about Brexit's impacts on Britain's social, political and economic future. This paper examines the economic impact. After briefly discussing some significant EU treaties that serve as the background materials, it presents the key arguments advocated by the leave and remain camps. The economic impact depends critically on the negotiation outcomes. Aside from the debate on the divorce costs, there are numerous issues that must be negotiated, such as immigration, trade in goods, services, agriculture, fisheries and financial regulations. We discuss various scenarios of possible new trade regimes, resulting in different impacts on the UK economy. With each side having its bargaining chips to play, the trade‐offs between “give and take” in the negotiation game are analysed. Considering various strategic options, this paper urges rationality and cooperation, especially weighing both sides’ entwined economic interests, in addition to their mutual security, defence, environmental and world concerns. The potential gains and losses in the event where the UK contemplates new trade arrangements with the non‐EU countries are analysed in the Appendix.

수산물 안전의 비경제적요인이 국가간 수산물 교역에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

We explore the effect of the non-economic factors in the safety of fishery products as well as economic and geological factors on fishery trade across countries, using the gravity model in this study. We focus on the effect of non-economic factors, especially, Seafood Traceability system, HACCP, and SPS agreements, which have not been considered in Korean studies using the gravity model. Our findings demonstrate the followings: First, for one trade pattern- fishery export-, Korean total fishery exports and each trading partner’s total fishery imports have a significant effect on Korean fishery exports to them. The proxy variable for distance across countries, transportation time, and companies with HACCP certification have a significant effect on Korea’s fishery exports to trading partners. Second, for the other trade pattern- fishery import-, trading partners’ total fishery exports and transportation time have positive effects on Korean fishery imports from them.

Trust and Rural Enterprise in the Trade Activities of Small-Scale Fisheries: Lessons Learned From Pangandaran, Indonesia

This paper explores the approach used by fisheries-related stakeholders to break the complex relationship between fishermen and middlemen in the fishing village of Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia. This location was selected because the fisheries trade there has been institutionalized by the presence of rural enterprise. This is unusual, especially in traditional small-scale fisheries where trade is governed by middlemen. The information was obtained by interviewing key stakeholders from various parties and combining this with relevant secondary data. The main argument is that formalizing the fisheries market is not as simple as implementing technical regulations. There are non-technical factors that affect the entire process. The findings indicate that trust is the important variable that catalyzes the process and binds stakeholders in certain trading mechanisms. Furthermore, this situation is very helpful to divert the fishermen from patron-client relationships that are often unfavorable in the long term.

Global trade statistics lack granularity to inform traceability and management of diverse and high-value fishes

Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and seafood supply chain fraud are multifaceted problems that demand multifaceted solutions. Here, we investigate the extent to which global fisheries trade data analyses can support effective seafood traceability and promote sustainable seafood markets using one of the world’s most highly prized, yet misunderstood, groups of fishes as a model: the snappers, family Lutjanidae. By collating and comparing production, import and export data from international and national statistical collections for the period 2006–2013, we show that official trade data severely lack the level of detail required to track snapper trade flows, uncover potential IUU activities and/or inform exploitation management of snappers and related species. Moreover, we contend that the lack of taxonomic granularity and use of vague generic names in trade records represent one of the most insidious impediments to seafood traceability, and suggest that widely used harmonised commodity classification systems should evolve to address these gaps.

The Fresh and the Salted: Chinese Migrant Fisheries Engagement and Trade in Nineteenth-Century North America

Zooarchaeological identifications of fish taxa at nineteenth-century Chinese migrant sites in North America indicate that Chinese consumers maintained local, regional, and international connections with a number of discrete fisheries to satisfy their desire for both fresh and salted fish products. To date, no archaeological study has addressed the broader complexity of the Chinese fish trade in North America. This paper explores these intricacies by drawing on historical observations of nineteenth-century Chinese fishing operations in North America, zooarchaeological fish data from sites across the American West, and an in-depth case study of archaeologically recovered fish remains from the Market Street Chinatown in San Jose, California. To better understand the fish data from this site, I use indicator group analysis to identify several likely sources of the specimens identified at the site. Overall, the data show that, although Chinese migrants typically consumed fish taxa that resembled those traditionally eaten in nineteenth-century southern China, they sourced their fish from multiple Chinese and Anglo fisheries throughout the American West and China.

ОЦЕНКА СОВРЕМЕННОГО СОСТОЯНИЯ РЫБНОЙ ПРОМЫШЛЕННОСТИ: СТАТИСТИЧЕСКИЙ ОБЗОР И АНАЛИЗ СИТУАЦИИ

Fisheries in the Russian Federation is an economical sector that includes a complex of different activities ranging from forecasting the resource base of the industry to trading in fish products in the country and abroad. Fish industry in Russia has been rapidly developing, yet there can be outlined a number of factors impeding development of the industry. According to official statistic figures, the main source of fish products is live fish, fresh or chilled, which today is steadily decreasing (within 2010-2015 to 221. 000 t). Releasing juveniles of aquatic biological resources is also being gradually reduced (by 1082 mln species for the last 5 years). Against this background, there takes place the rise of fish exports to the CIS countries and far abroad, as well as sharp decline in fish import, which, in turn, leads to a decrease of fish products on the shop shelves in Russia. It has been stated that the main problems in the fish industry are the result of fishery ineffectiveness (great wear rate of fixed assets, operation of obsolete vessels, reducing the release of juveniles of aquatic biological resources), as well as of technological imperfection of fish processing industry. The article considers different ways of governmental support to businesses of aquaculture and fish processing, as well as promoting development of multiformat infrastructure and fisheries trade using the Murmansk region as an example. Improvement of the situation in fishing industry is expected due to fleet modernization, developing innovation technologies, reducing power intension, business subsidizing, organizing recreational and sport fisheries.

APPLIED BASIS OF FISH POLICY EFFECT TO PUBLIC FOOD PROVIDING

Urgency of the research. The article describes the practical aspects of the fish policy, its impact to public food providing in Ukraine and in the world. The proposals of fisheries regulation are considered in the context of the global food system and functioning of national aquaculture and fish products. Target setting. The article aims at studying the problems of fish policy and fisheries functioning. It promotes the development of methodological foundations for solving the problem of food products market. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The analyze of fish and seafood products markets are in the focus of many leading scientists and economists: T. Sigbjorn, F. Asche, B. Belton, S. H. Thilsted, N. M. Vdovenko, Y. Sharylo, K. O. Ribalchenko and many others authors. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The lack of focus on the problems of increasing the competitiveness of the fisheries and aquaculture in Ukraine is an example of untapped opportunities that must be implemented to ensure healthy nutrition and food security. The research objective is to study the markets of fisheries products, identifying deficiencies fishing policy in the context of globalization and the development of proposals on food security of the population. The statement of basic materials. Globally, aquaculture is a young sector of the agricultural sector, which is experiencing a period of growth over the past 50 years. World aquaculture production is divided into categories: aquaculture in inland waters and mariculture. Fisheries is on five levels: a) the access to the markets of non-agricultural goods (NAMA); b) agreement on subsidies and compensation measures (ASCM); c) trade and environment, especially environmental protection agreements (MEA); d) agreement on antidumping (ADA); e) general agreement on trade services (GATS). The regulation of international trade in fisheries and aquacultures are complicated by the fact that fish products are not subject of Agreement on Agriculture of the WTO. The main piece of legislation that defines the priority objectives in the field of fisheries is European Regulation On the Common Fish Policy. Conclusions. Fisheries and aquaculture in inland waters is often underestimated during fo planning future development, land and water using and in decision-making process at the state level. It is practice advisable to consider the global goals of the World Health Organization to improve nutrition by 2025. To this goal, the future need to develop a mechanism of monitoring of global priorities and sustainable fisheries as food products in all its forms that would find opportunities to solve them in the futur

Dynamics of Regional Fisheries Organization’s and Foreign Trade: Emphasis on the Environment and Restructuring in Mexico

This article has the purpose to give a perspective related with actions about climate change, fishing, fisheries regional organizations and the States regarding trading sector, considering that fishing is a vulnerable but important sector for food security. However, it is important to analyze the applications of external politics in internal national politics about restructuring fishing, safeguard and respect the resource natural. According to the theme, this study has been suitable to analyze it from the theories of the interdependence complex (Keohane and Nye, 1977 [1]), and vulnerability and sensitivity theories (Katzenstein, 1976 [2], Dhal, 1957 [3], Tucker, 1977 [4] and Holsti, 2006 [5]) in the application of external policies, and make the most vulnerable States as well as the sensitivity in their sectors. In order to verify the implementation of all policies also to prove the climate change governance, it has been determined to analyze the case of Mexico (2006-2013) who is facing this phenomenon. The results show that while Mexico has implemented programs and projects, the achievements will be given in a long term, due to the lack of infrastructure, technology, innovation and technical capacity. The strategies of Mexico government go through links with the Regional Fisheries Organization in order to achieve the best strategies for maintaining fishery productivity and trade sector.

Do fish scales matter? Diversification and differentiation in seafood commodity chains

Recent studies in the literature on fisheries trade have contrasted the challenges and opportunities associated with domestic and internationally oriented fish trade. We examine forms of domestic and international fish trade in a municipality of the Philippines to show the empirical complexities of how fish trade unfolds on the ground. We draw on insights from the literature in livelihoods to highlight how the debate on fisheries trade can benefit from closer attention to the social and economic context of fisher livelihoods. We argue that from the perspective of small-scale producers who are focused on maintaining diversified livelihoods across a range of fisheries, the distinctions between domestic and international fish trade blur locally, and are sometimes of limited relevance when assessing livelihood options and outcomes. Instead, a more important distinction for households is social differentiation based on ownership of fishing assets. We suggest that household asset characteristics strongly influence how households can access a broad range of fisheries (both domestically and internationally traded) that often co-emerge in rural areas of the Philippines. We argue that a better understanding of household diversification and differentiation provides a view of fisheries trade that is more closely aligned with the perspectives and priorities of local fishers, than a focus on whether such trade is (or should be) domestically or internationally oriented.

Effects of Frozen Storage Condition Abuse on the Textural and Chemical Properties of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) Fillets

Fish is highly perishable and frozen storage is normally used to maintain its quality. This study employed freezing-thawing (F-T) cycles to simulate the abuse in frozen storage conditions, and their effects on the quality changes of grass carp fillet were investigated. Results indicated that with the increase in F-T cycles, the hardness exhibited an increase during cycle 0 and cycle 1 and then decreased in the following two cycles. Measurement points had little influence on textural properties. Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) value showed an increase from 8.72 to 22.55 mg N/100 g during four F-T cycles, while thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) exhibited gradual increase with the cycles and K value was also increased from 20.57 to 76.29% with the cycles. The results demonstrated that frozen storage condition abuse showed an important effect on textural properties and TVB-N, TBARS and K value of grass carp fillet. Practical Applications Investigations of fish and fish fillet freshness are much more significant in research and development for providing premium quality for the acceptance of consumers as well as international fishery trade. However, little work has been reported about the frozen storage condition abuse on textural and chemical properties of grass carp fillet. Therefore, in the current study, freezing-thawing cycles were used to simulate the temperature abuse during frozen storage, and their effects on the quality changes of grass carp fillet muscle based upon fish textural parameters were investigated. The results should provide practical guidance for the fish industry.
