The basic aim of this paper is to use a case study to illustrate the way in which controls can achieve an optimum exploitation of marine resources. The specific fishery under study is the Iberoatlanti sardine fishery. A bioeconomic deterministic model for this fish resource is developed and...

The Prestige oil spill may be considered as one of the worst in last years, because of the amount spilled (59,000 tons at the moment) and the wide zone affected: almost all the coastline in Galicia (Spanish region with a very important coastal fishing activity) and some points in the North Spain...

A widespread belief exists as to the low financial profitability of fishing companies, but fishermen continue to invest and provoke problems of over-capitalisation. The aim of this study is to provide information on the financial profitability of the European fleet, to analyse the differences...

This paper presents an analysis of the effectiveness of the community structural policy in the fisheries sector by comparing the relative level of compliance with objectives (reduction of fleets and economic viability) with the mechanisms that have been implemented (structural funds and...

The objective of the work is to estimate the socio-economic impacts of increasing the installed solar thermal energy power capacity in Spain. Using an input-output (I-O) analysis, this paper estimates the increase in the demand for goods and services as well as in employment derived from solar...
