No Thumbnail AvailableProjectA case study on commercial cage culture of fin fish in Penang. Final draft (report) 1985

No results found.The Project entitled "Assistance to the Malaysian Fisheries Development Authority or Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia (LKIM) was implemented by the FAO from November 1984 to November 1985 under the financing of the FAO Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP/MAL/4403). The Project was based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The broad objective of the Project was to assist LKIM in the preparation of a long-term plan and strategy for the development of a fishermen relocation programme. The issue of surplus fishermen is not a new area of concern in Malaysia. The Department of Fisheries (DOF) already indicated in 1971 that there was a surplus of about 19,300 fishermen in Peninsular Malaysia. The problem of too many fishermen in relation to the capital investment and the resources available has become more noticeable in recent years. In addition, the lack of institutional arrangements to limit new entrants into the fishing sector has accelerated the enhancement of under-employment, low productivity a nd income among traditional fishermen, Fishing communities have long acted as a traditional reservoir for the unemployed. Under these circumstances, the Government has launched a programme to combat the problem of surplus fishermen with more careful planning and realistic and systematic approaches. The Project has produced four technical reports. This report has been prepared as a supplementary report to Technical Report 2, i.e. “A Review Study Of The Sungai Merbok Floating Cage Culture Projec t”. It was felt useful to compare the performance between the government sponsored projects and private ventures from the viewpoint of technical and economic viability. -
ProjectReport of the bio-economic modelling workshop on the small pelagic fisheries of the west coast of peninsular Malaysia
Vistana hotel, Penang, Malaysia. 12-16 February 2001
2001Also available in:
No results found.A bio-economic modelling workshop was organized in order to improve the information base for the preparation of a fisheries management plan of the small pelagic fisheries of the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Plan preparation by the Department of Fisheries is supported by the FAO/Norway FishCode Project (see Field Reports F-13 and F-17). Two different modelling approaches have been applied to these fisheries. The surplus production bioeconomic model of the Gordon-Schaefer type sugg ests that effort at MSY is about 387,000 standard purse seine days producing a MSY of about 109,000 tonnes of small pelagics. At the MSY effort level, however, resource rent is completed dissipated and the fishery incurs an estimated loss of MR 25.6 million. As current effort level (data of 1997) is about 380,000 standardized fishing days, the analysis suggests that fishing effort and capacity are excessive. A resource rent of about MR 77 million might be attainable through the reducti on of fishing effort to 180,000 standardized fishing days, i.e. less than half of the current level. This result should be interpreted as providing an order of magnitude only because of the application of a single species model to an assemblage of small pelagic species. One species group, namely Rastrelliger, contributes 73 percent to the ex-vessel value of these fisheries. This result should also be interpreted cautiously because the shoaling nature of small pelagic species was not expl icitly taken into account in the modelling exercise.... -
ProjectReport on a consultation with stakeholders on the fisheries management plan for small-pelagic fisheries on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia
Penang, Malaysia, 19-20 February 2001
2001Also available in:
No results found.The report contains the proceedings and results of a consultation with stakeholders in the fishery for small-pelagic fish of the west coast of peninsular Malaysia of a Fisheries Management Plan for that fishery, that was drafted in August 2000 by staff of the Department of Fisheries of Malaysia with assistance of the FISHCODE Project (see FISHCODE Field Report No. F-13). The comments of the stakeholders were laid down in a table with agreed resolutions and in detail per working group in Appendix 8. These comments will be incorporated into a second draft of the Fisheries Management Plan that will be presented to representatives of the fishing industry before it is finalised and implemented.
