Renewable and Common Resources: Marine Fishery Resources

This chapter introduces China's rich marine fishery resources, analyses the efficiency of the use of China's marine fishery resources based on the SBM (Slack Based Measure) super-efficiency model and the Malmquist-Luenberger (ML) index, and finally examines the public management policies for marine fishery resources. Section 10.1 of this chapter describes the global emphasis on marine fishery resources, including China. Section 10.2 examines the total amount and distribution of marine fishery resources globally and in particular in China. Section 10.3 discusses the issue of utilisation efficiency of marine fishery resources in China, and measures the utilisation efficiency of marine fishery resources based on the SBM super-efficiency DEA model and the Malmquist-Luenberger index, and points out the reasons for the inefficiency. Section 10.4 introduces China's public management policies for marine fishery resources, which are divided into presentations in terms of fishing costs, subsidies and individual transferable quotas. Section 10.5 summarises the above.
