SVF-3553: Fisheries and aquaculture management Work Load
15 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
To give the students a basic understanding of the problems and challenges involved in fisheries and aquaculture management with special reference to developing countries. | Contents
This course builds on the introductory course in fisheries development. We start by focusing on the institutional setting, i.e. the LOS convention establishing the 200 miles EEZs as well as more traditional management systems for inshore and inland fisheries. The second part deals with the different management measures, with a view to biological and economic effects as well as distributional and social concerns. The third section explains the role of monitoring, control and surveillance and deals explicitly with the problem of legitimacy, in terms of process as well as results (quotas of actual catches). Fourthly, we treat the role of science in fisheries management, not only the biological disciplines, but also the social sciences, including economics as well. We also look at user group participation, all within the context of management institutions. The fifth and the final part deals with the planning of fisheries development, discussing the project cycle and other common planning tools like logical frame work analysis (LFA) etc. This part also includes a discussion of planning vs. the use of market solutions, intending to show the merits of each as well as the preconditions for the successful implementation of a fisheries plan. | Form of teaching
