Fisheries Economics (I)

Abstract

This textbook was initially prepared as part of the lectures on Fisheries Economics at SEAFDEC, in 1986. The contents are obviously not only introductory but also essential to our subject. In addition to my summarized lecture notes.

The contents of the book can be roughly divided into three parts. The first part points to the characteristics of the fishery industry as a component of the national economy. The second part concerns the trends of world fishery production and the characteristics of the fishery produce trade. The third part of the book concerns the fishery development process mainly from the viewpoint of market formation and expansion.
