FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / Os camarÃes de importÃncia comercial na zona costeira do municÃpio de Fortaleza-CE, pertencem à famÃlia Penaeidae e aos gÃneros Penaeus: camarÃo-rosa, P. brasiliensis, camarÃo-vermelho, P. subtilis e camarÃo-branco, P. schmitti; Xiphopenaeus : camarÃo-sete-barbas, X. kroyeri; e Trachypenaeus: camarÃo-ferrinho, T. constrictus. A Ãrea de pesca tem uma superfÃcie de 30 km2, e profundidades entre 5 e 13 m, sendo apropriada para operaÃÃes por embarcaÃÃes arrasteiras com casco de madeira entre 7-12 m de comprimento total. O aparelho-de-pesca à a rede-de-arrasto de p ortas, com panagem de 8 m na sua parte superior e 7 m na inferior, comprimento total de 14 m e malhas de 18mm entre nÃs. A hipÃtese central da dissertaÃÃo f oi avaliar se o ciclo vital do estoque na Ãrea de estudo seguia o padrÃo estabelecido para os peneÃdeos: desenvolvimento larval e juvenil em estuÃrios, recrutamento na zona costeira e reproduÃÃo em Ãreas afastadas da costa. A coleta de dados foi feita atravÃs do embarque em 44 viagens de pesca realizadas no perÃodo julho/97-junho/98, quando foi realizada a amostragem de exemplares dos quais foi registrado o comprimento do cefalotÃrax, determinaÃÃo do sexo, i dentificaÃÃo de fÃmeas em estÃgio de desova. AlÃm disso, foi feito o controle estatÃstico da produÃÃo/esforÃo de pesca, e avaliaÃÃo da fauna acompanhante quanto a frequÃncia de ocorrÃncia e Ãndices de diversidade especÃfica. Os principais resultados foram: (a) o estoque capturado à constituÃdo, principalmente, por indivÃduos jovens; (b) as fÃmeas sÃo maiores do que os machos em comprimento e peso, devido a um maior tamanho da cauda; (c) a proporÃÃo sexual indica predominÃncia de fÃmeas, mas ocorreu reversÃo dessa taxa em alguns meses do ano; (d) a reproduÃÃo das espÃcies de peneÃdeos ocorre no perÃodo fevereiro-julho; (e) o processo de recrutamento para a pesca das espÃcies de peneÃdeos à mais intenso no perÃodo setembro-fevereiro; (f) a composiÃÃo relativa numÃrica das espÃcies foi a seguinte: P. brasiliensis (28,1%), P. subtilis (26,5%), T. constrictus (22,2%), X. kroyeri (12,5%) e P. schmitti (10,7%); (g) a produÃÃo total anual foi de 26.881 kg, gerada por esforÃo de 19.221 horas de pesca, com CP UE de 1,40 kg/hora; (h) a produÃÃo potencial atingiu 5.638 kg; (i) a Ãpoca de safra corresponde ao meses de abril-agosto; (j) a hipÃtese da dissertaÃÃo nÃo foi confirmada, ou seja, jovens xv em recrutamento e fÃmeas em reproduÃÃo habitam a zo na costeira; (k) a cada kg de camarÃo correspondem 3,28 kg de fauna acompanhante, sendo 0,93 kg (28,6%) de espÃcies aproveitÃveis (peixe e camarÃo pequeno) e 2,34 kg (71,4%) de espÃcies nÃo-aproveitÃveis (peixes); (l) a fauna acompanhante da captura de camarÃes esteve formada por 98 espÃcies de peixes, 14 das quais contribuÃram com 90,4% do total de ocorrÃncias; (m) a diversidade da ictiofauna acompanhante variou de acordo com os seguintes Ãndices: diversidade especÃfica, Hâ = 2,610; equitabilidade, E = 0,569; e riqueza d e espÃcies, D = 8,353; (n) existe uma tendÃncia decrescente, com dependÃncia geomÃtrica, entre o nÃmero de espÃcies da ictiofauna acompanhante e sua abundÃncia numÃrica; (o) a regulamentaÃÃo da pesca dos camarÃes, na zona costeira, deve se apoiar na seguinte medida: defeso no perÃodo marÃo-abril. / The shrimp species of economic value that inhabit t he coastal zone of Fortaleza county, Cearà State, Brazil belong to family Penaei dae and genera Penaeus, namely the redspotted shrimp, P. brasiliensis, the brown shrimp, P. subtilis and the white shrimp, P. schmitti; iphopenaeus , namely the Atlantic seabob shrimp, X. kroyeri; and Trachypenaeus, namely the roughneck shrimp, T. constrictus. The fishing operations are performed on a sandy substra te, suitable for trawling, 5-13m deep, 30-km2 area, by wooden, 7-12 m in overall length fishing b oats. The fishing gear is a single-hauling, 14 m long otter t rawl, 18mm meshes. The working hypothesis of this dissertation was to evaluate whe ther the life cycle of the species in the studied area conformed to the known pattern for penaeid shrimp, namely larval and juvenile development in estuaries, recru itmnt occurs in the coastal zone and reproduction in offshore areas. The data collection was performed through direct sampling of the catch in 44 fishing trips in period July, 1997 to June, 1998, for measurement of the caught individualsâ ca rapace length, sex determination and identification of females in spa wning condition. Besides, control of yield/fishing effort and evaluation of t he by-catch as shown by frequency of occurrence and diversity indices was carried out . The main conclusions drawn from data analysis are: (a) the catchable stock is mostly made up of juvenile individuals; (b) females are larger than males in l ength and weight at the expense of a bigger tail size; (c) the sex-ratio is, in general, ignificantly favorable to females, but the reverse is true in some months; (d) spawning of penaeid species takes place in the period February-July; (e) the re cruitment of penaeid species is concentrated in the period September-February; (f) the interspecific relationship, in numbers, was as follows: P. brasiliensis (28.1%), P. subtilis (26.5%), T. constrictus (22.2%), X. kroyeri (12.5%) and P. schmitti (10.7%); (g) the total annual yield was 28,881 kg, obtained by a fishing effort of 19,221 hours, and a CPUE of 1.40 kg/hour; (h) the annual potential production reache d a value of 5,638 kg; (i) the peak harvest period occurs in April-August; (j) the working hypothesis was not confirmed, that is, both recruiting juveniles and re productive females are found in the coastal zone; (k) the by-catch/shrimp ratio was estimated at 3.28:1, broken down to 0.93:1 (28.6%) for the usable species and 2 .34:1 (71.4%) for the xvii discarded ones; (l) the by-catch was comprised of 9 8 fish species, out of which fourteen accounted for 90.4% of total numbers; (m) the by-catch ecological diversity was determined: specific diversity, Hâ = 2.610; equitability, E = 0.568; species richness, D = 8.353; (n) there was found to exist a decreasing trend, with a geometrical dependence, between species numbers a nd their numerical abundance; (o) fishing management should be enforce d through the following measures: a closed season in March-April.

This study analysed causes of the problem of over-fishing in the Jebel Aulia Reservoir (JAR) in Sudan and investigated reasons behind the failure of current management and policy regimes to promote sustainable management and exploitation of fishery in this reservoir. To achieve these objectives existing analytical frameworks and methodological approaches to study noncompliance with regulations have been adapted to allow two important extensions: (1) using frequency instead of intensity as a measure of violation rate and, (2) modifying the probability of detection to depend on time to account for frequency of violation. The adapted analytical models have then been empirically implemented to develop a typology of fishers according to violation rates and to analyse determinants of noncompliance and extent of violation with mesh size regulations among artisanal fishers in the JAR. This study represents the first research effort investigating causes and implications of illegal fishing and noncompliance with fishery regulations in Sudan in general and particularly in the JAR. The study extended the two times dynamic deterrence model (DDM) to use frequency instead of intensity of noncompliance as a measure of violation rate. The method of comparative statics was employed to derive analytical results on the sensitivity of optimal violation to a number of key factors of high relevance to compliance with regulations designed to protect against over-fishing. Analytical results obtained with this extended DDM confirmed the findings of earlier empirical studies employing alternative static and dynamic formulations and revealed interesting economic meanings of modelled relations. The study concludes that a number of factors related to market and institutional failures make frequency more suitable than intensity as a measure of violation in artisanal fisheries of developing countries. Applications of DDM have so far been limited to the case of constant probability of detection, which assumes independence of the length of time to detection. One objective of this study was therefore to modify the DDM to allow for more flexible and broader specification by introducing two important variables to the supply of offences function, namely, evasion activity and enforcement efforts .One of the major modifications made by this study is modelling the probability of detection as a Cox proportional hazard model instead of the survival hazard used in the literature. The new modelling of probability of detection also makes the previous specification only one of the three versions of the new model, since the new model accommodates the situations of constant and inconstant probability of detection. The results of comparative statics analysis revealed important potential ways of extending the standard DDM to allow for optimal choice among critical trade-offs between evasion efforts and violation rates. The study then applied the adapted DDM to empirically analyse and test specific hypotheses about artisanal fishers‘ compliance behaviour using data from a survey of artisanal fishers in the JAR area. Survey data was collected from a sample of 241 fishers from five landing sites at the study area. Factors that determine the probability of violation as well as the extent of violation were analysed employing an ordered Probit model and a count data model respectively, in two steps. The first step analysed the determinants of the choice to belong to one of the defined fishers‘ typologies. In the second step, a zero truncated negative binomial model was applied to analyse determinants of the extent and frequency of violation among violators only. Results of the empirical analyses suggest that fishers seem to care more about the size of the penalty than the presence of regulation enforcing agents as a deterrent, mainly due to corrupt options and effective evasion activities used by fishers. The study also suggests that better education of fishermen is necessary, as well as the provision of alternative income generating activities especially during the fish reproduction season, access to credit for ownership of legal nets, and finally, effective regulation of the importation of illegal nets will be necessary to enhance compliance with mesh size regulations in Sudan. It is also necessary to promote community level organisation and awareness campaigns among fishers about the dangers for future fish stocks of eroding small fish quantities through the use of illegal nets and consequently endangering the social welfare of all. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development / unrestricted

This thesis attempts to understand what it is like to live and work as a ‘sincere’ and ‘committed’ Christian in Gamrie, a small fishing village of 700 people and six conservative Protestant churches, whose staunch religiosity is itself on the cusp of dramatic economic, social and spiritual change. More than this, it is an attempt to show how the everyday religious experiences of Christians in Gamrie are animated by – but not reducible to – their social context. It seeks to do so by considering how local folk theologies relate to larger social processes occurring within Scotland and the north Atlantic. Arguing that these realms are necessarily (and simultaneously) ideational and material, my theoretical focus is upon the relationship between belief and experience – a relationship mediated, first and foremost, in and through the significance of ‘The Word’. Where beliefs have objects and where objects ‘have’ materiality, beliefs are held to be essentially material. Equally, where material happenings in the world are framed by theological (say, eschatological) ideas, objects and events are held to be unavoidably implicated in belief. Thus, my aim is to present an analytic of the relationship between the lived local experiences of belief and objects, materiality and language.
