| description | An import an t problem in the fishing industry of Peninsular
Malaysia is the existence of grouprivalry and conflict
between art is anal fishermen and trawlers resulting from the
common property nature of fishery. This has led to overfishing
in the inshore waters affecting both the catch and income of a
large majority of artisanal fishermen. The present system of
distributing marine earnings which favours boat owners further
aggravates the problem of poverty among fishermen.
This study examines the distribution of marine earnings,
costs and returns of the fishing operations for three gears
namely, trawl, purse seine and gill net, and the structure of
their respective harvesting technologies. The general objective
is to study the production behaviour of the relevant fishing
firms and the specific objectives include the study of supply response to changes in fish prices, input demand response to
changes in fact or prices, and cross supply and demand responses
to changes in output-input prices. The nature of the share
systems in marine fishing and the extent of their variations
across boats and locations is also examined. The study also
attempts to determine whether the observed vessel sizes are in long-run equilibrium. |
