Book (stand-alone)Market competition between farmed and wild fish: a literature survey 2016
Also available in:
No results found.A wide range of interactions occurs between wild fisheries and aquaculture. These interactions can be classified as technical, environmental and market (or economic). The objective of this publication is to identify market competition interactions between wild fisheries and aquaculture and to analyse their consequences through a survey of the existing relevant literature. Most studies on competition interactions between aquaculture and wild fish are based on a reduced number of species and marke ts. Studies have mostly focused on the most-traded species (salmon and trout, shrimp and prawn, catfish and tilapia, and seabass and seabream) and the main consumer markets (United States of America and European Union [Member Organization]). Owing to the low number of studies in the literature and the diversity of results reported, findings can only be generalized with caution. -
Book (stand-alone)Regional fish trade in eastern and southern Africa, products and markets: a fish traders guide 2012
Also available in:
No results found.The fish traders guide is intended to provide vital trade information on freshwater fishery products and markets within the Eastern and Southern Africa region. The guide provides an outline of the major commercial species in the region, with some background about the species and information on the types of product forms, processing methods and nutritive values. The guide also indicates existing and potential markets where the products can be sold. It also provides information about the structure of fish trade and fish trade regulations in the region, with some pointers on how to be a trader and what make a successful trader. It is intended to be a useful background for those already trading in fish and for those interested in its potential. The guide is expected to promote better understanding, increased active participation and improved business decisions, resulting into increased fish supply, incomes, food security, fish consumption, nutrition and livelihoods. The countries selected for this guide are within the Great Lakes region, where there are major fisheries resources and also high demand for freshwater fish and fishery products. -
Book (series)Present market situation and prospects of meagre (Argyrosomus regius), as an emerging species in Mediterranean aquaculture 2010
Also available in:
No results found.The present document review the aquaculture activities and the market situation and prospect of the meagre (Argyrosomus regius) in the Mediterranean countries. Meagre culture started in France and in Italy in the late ‘90s and is developing in the Mediterranean Region, jumping from a few tonnes in 2 000 to over 10 000 tonnes expected in 2010, highlighting the appearance of a new aquaculture species on the market. Meagre is currently sold by a limited number of players on niche segments (small volumes at relatively high prices to selected market segments). From a market viewpoint, meagre is endowed with intrinsic values such as attractive fish shape, good processing yield, good nutritional values, low fat content, excellent taste, firm texture suitable for a large variety of recipes. Yet it is very little known to end consumers. Meagre production is expected to grow fast in the medium term and ex-farm prices will probably drop under the pressure of increasing supply. T his is what will most likely happen if the coming increased production converges towards favourable markets like Spain, Italy and Portugal. This report draws the picture of the existing market of meagre and describes the possible routes for development. Indeed, based on its aquaculture characteristics, meagre has the potential to become a mass market species, moving from the present position of a niche species with a limited production directed to selected market segments. The paper re commends some actions to be undertaken to consolidate good conditions for future growth and to reduce commercial risks. Most of the information used originates from national data and from the author’s personal estimates.
