Thesis (MBA) -- Stellenbosch University, 1994. / Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences. University of Stellenbosch Business School. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The trawler industry is on the brink of proserity. This progress will result in both the trawler industry and the state amending their policy formulation to adapt to changing circumstances. The government will, for instance, have to consider subsidising the building of boats and the establishment of infrastructure, which is becoming increasingly expensive, and is already being done abroad. On the other hand, planning and organisation of trawler industries will have to be done in close consultation with the government, who is in fact responsible for fish sources. This will result in an enormous responsibility for the government, who will have to improve research on fish resources and availability of fish species. This information is of the utmost importance to trawler industries that have to plan for future production and sales. The progress of trawler industries is not just influenced by the government but also by their own internal planning. Future development will definitely require more capital outlay from industries in the form of modernized catching and processing equipment. In the present-day highly competitive and rapidly changing environment it is difficult to generate funds if no assets can be shown. Smaller enterprises that are not financially strong enough to establish their own infrastructure, should consider amalgamation with other small or large enterprises. The author is of the opinion that the possibility to obtain the necessary funds for the establishment of an own infrastructure without the required security, should exist with an efficient business plan. Insufficient planning in new enterprises is possibly the major contributing factor towards failure. Without investing capital at this early stage, new ideas can be tested on paper by means of planning. A literature study was undertaken to evaluate the opinions of various authors on a business plan. Factors for success in a good business plan were highlighted as follows: keep the business plan brief; do not over-diversify the enterprise; avoid describing technical products and manufacturing process in a way only comprehensible by an expert; organise and wrap the business plan effectively; the plan must be future orientated; avoid exageration; highlight critical risks; discuss and include any relevant problems; take care that the business plan is as complete as possible; and identify the target market and avoid ambiguous, vague and unrealistic statements. A business plan has been compiled for the purpose of this study. using the preceding information. Finally, a recommendation regarding future capital absorption and extension has been made to the company concerned. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die treilbedryf staan op die drumpel van vooruitgang. Hierdie vooruitgang gaan meebring dat beide die treilondernemings en die Staat hul beleidsformulering sodanig sal moet verander om aan Ie pas by die veranderende omstandighede. Die Staat sal byvoorbeeld daaraan moet dink om die bou van bote, wat at hoe duurder word, en die oprigting van infrastruktuur te subsidieer. iets wat weI in die buiteland gedoen word. Aan die anderkant sal beplanning en organisasie van treilondememings in nouer kontak met die Staat, wat verantwoordelik is vir die beheer van visbronne, moet geskied. Dit plaas 'n geweldige taak op die skouers van die Staat, want by sal beter navorsing moet doen oor visbronne en die beskikbaarheid van vissoorte. Hierdie inligting is van groot belang vir treilondememings wat moet beplan vir produksie en verkope in die toekoms. Die vooruitgang van treilondememings word egteT nie slegs deuT die Staat beinvloed nie, maar ook deur hul eie interne beplanning. Toekomstige ontwikkeling gaan definitief meer kapitaal van ondememings verg in die vorm van beter en meer modeme vang- en verwerkingstoerusting. In vandag se hoogs kompeterende en snelveranderende omgewing is dit moeilik om fondse te genereer veral as geen bates getoon kan word nie. Klein ondememings wat nie kapitaalkragtig genoeg is om 'n eie infrastruktuur op te rig nie, moet dit gewoonlik oorweeg om met ander klein of groot ondememings te amalgameer. Die navorser is van mening dat met behulp van 'n goeie besigheidsplan daar wei 'n moontlikheid behoort te bestaan om die nodige fondse, sonder die vereiste sekuriteit, te bekom om sodoende 'n eie infrastruktuur op te rig. 'n Gebrek aan beplanning by nuwe ondernemings is waarskynlik een van die grootste enkele bydraende faktore tot mislukking. Deur beplanning kan nuwe idees op papier op proef gestel word sonder om kapitaal op hierdie vroee stadium te investeer. 'n Literatuur ondersoek is onderneem om verskillende skrywers se menings ten opsigte van 'n besigheidsplan te evalueer. Suksesfaktore vir 'n goeie besigheidsplan is dan ook uitgelig: • hou die besigheidsplan kort; moet nie die onderneming oor-diversifiseer nie; venny dit om die tegniese produkte en vervaardigingsproses op so 'n manier, dat net 'n kundige dit kan verstaan, te beskryf; organiseer en verpak die besigheidsplan doelmatig; orienteer die plan volgens die toekoms; venny oordrewendheid; lig kritieke risiko's uit; bespreek en sluit enige toepaslike probleme in; sorg dat die besigheidsplan so kompleet as moontlik is; identifiseer die teikenmark en venny dubbelsinnige, vae en onwerklike stellings. Met hierdie kennis as agtergrond is 'n besigheidsplan opgestel wat vir die doel van hierdie studie gebruik is. Ten slotte is 'n aanbeveling aan die betrokke maatskappy gemaak met die oog op toekomstige kapitaalopneming en uitbreiding.

Šiame darbe nagrinėjamas mėgėjiškos žūklės valstybinis valdymas Lietuvoje. Darbe aptariami mėgėjiškos žūklės valdymo pasiekimai kitose šalyse bei mėgėjiškos žūklės vaidmuo darniajame vystyme. Tyrimas taip pat atskleidžia esamas mėgėjiškos žūklės valdymo problemas Lietuvoje teisiniame, organizaciniame ir aplinkosauginiame lygmenyje. Valdymo trūkumams nustatyti pasitelktos suinteresuotų asmenų – meškeriotojų nuomonės. Buvo atlikta jų apklausa, kurioje dalyvavo 825 žmonės. Magistro darbą sudaro įvadas, dešimt skyrių, išvados ir rekomendacijos bei naudotų literatūros šaltinių sąrašas. Darbą sudaro dvi pagrindines dalys. Pirmoji dalis supažindina su esama situacija mėgėjiškos žūklės sektoriuje Lietuvoje ir pasaulyje, aptaria meškeriojimo teisinį reglamentavimą, žuvų išteklių naudojimą. Antroji dalis supažindina su mėgėjiškos žūklės valdymo aspektais ir atskleidžia šio valdymo problemas ir trūkumus, supažindina su meškeriotojų nuomonėmis valdymo klausimais bei įvertina ekonominį mėgėjiškos žūklės potencialą viešajame ir privačiame sektoriuje.

There are some examples of successful management of angling in other countries as well as recreational fishing role in sustainable development. The research also reveals the current angling management problems in Lithuania in the legal, organizational and environmental levels. To identify weaknesses in the angling management there was executed survey of really stakeholders. Totally the 825 anglers took part in it and their opinions are presented here. The thesis consists of an introduction, ten chapters, conclusions and recommendations, and used references. Paper can be divided into two main parts. The first part presents the current situation of recreational fishing in Lithuania and the world, also discusses the angling legislation and stocks of fish resources in general. The second part discusses the angling management and reveals aspects of the management problems and shortcomings, and introduces the anglers views on governance issues. Also there are evaluating the economic potential of the recreational fishing in the public and the private sector. The study set out that recreational fishing management is ineffective in Lithuania. The governance is using only a small part of possible advantages and benefits from recreational fishing. After conclusions of research you can find the recommendations to solve identified problems of management. This paper would be useful and interesting for ichtiologists...

Marine fish stocks are under serious threat of depletion due to increasing numbers of resource users with competing interests, resulting in degradation and the decline of fish catch. Using qualitative and quantitative techniques such as in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, household surveys and remote sensing and GIS, this study addresses: (1) the complex and inter-related nature of resource dependency, (2) the role of assets in determining survival strategies of households in artisanal fishing communities in Ponnani, India, (3) how asset degradation impacts resource-dependent households, (4) how households develop survival strategies, and (5) considers access to social, political, physical, human and financial assets. Information is organized using the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) with modifications to suite the local complexities. Results show that households - engaged in diverse activities, including fishing, fish processing/marketing/culture and daily labour - evolved property rights of natural resources over generations. The Pathemari cargo business’s limited knowledge of fisheries compared to artisanal fishers, and the government led modernization resulted in resource degradation. Therefore, artisanal fishers living in coastal wards threatened by intense erosion, abandoned traditional occupations in pursuit of livelihood security. Results from image analysis and derived thematic maps indicate increased erosion of 0.35 sq km shoreline coinciding with government development initiatives. To improve livelihood options, the results indicate that 50% surveyed accessed political assets such as fishers’ cooperatives and only 20% accessed financial assets such as government sponsored schemes and loans. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions revealed many limiting factors of access, specifically marginalization and lack of financial assets: only 6% surveyed could raise enough money to migrate. With changes in technology, from harvesting to processing, gender roles are being radically altered. Women are losing jobs and income. Politically, the study revealed that local participation helped governing bodies prioritize on housing, roads, water and sanitation. Analysis of the information through the modified SLF suggests three strategies to enhance the asset base of coastal poor: strengthening grassroots organizations; transforming state relations; and developing new alternatives to conventional coastal development practice. Finally, the study suggests resource management policies to improve the households’ livelihood options and well-being.
