EURM-021 is a certified reference material (CRM), containing powder from fish fillet. It is certified for its taxon, the species Pollachius pollachius (pollack), in accordance with ISO 17034:2016 [1]. The material was produced at the European Commission's (EC) Joint Research Centre (JRC) from...

Reducing meat consumption has become a global policy target due to rising environmental, health, and animal welfare concerns. We provide novel evidence on how price change in real life affects grocery shopping behavior in the Netherlands. We focus on price-induced behavioral response among major...

Purpose - Mangrove forests are one of the most bio-diverse and productive wetland environments on earth. However, these unique tropical forest environments that occupy coastal areas are among the most threatened habitats globally. These threats include logging, conversion of land for agriculture...

Exotic fish species are introduced in the pond culture system with a view to improving aquaculture development. Apart from aquaculture development, the introduction of exotic species has an undesirable impact on the natural biodiversity due to prolific breeding tendencies, predation or...

The agri-food industry worldwide generates a large volume of waste annually, which causes both environmental and economic problems. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of agri-food waste and byproducts to produce alternative, self-sufficient fish feed. This review aimed to...

This study employs a contingent valuation survey to elicit willingness-to-pay (WTP) from Canadian recreational anglers to fish on their preferred watersheds if managers of these watersheds choose to adopt novel environmental DNA (eDNA) toolkits. The survey gathered responses from 999 Canadian...

Fish is one of the main consumable foods in Bangladesh. Fish are found naturally in river, beel, haor, pond, and baor. It is also cultivated commercially in many ways including Biofloc culture system. In this study two types of Biofloc cultivated fishes (n=10), water (n=6), and commercial...

Global food production practices and consumption patterns have changed notably in the last few decades. Current dietary patterns are characterized by increased consumption of refined sugars as well as higher intakes of heavily-processed and animal-source foods, which results in higher obesity...

The aim of this report is to provide an overview of the fishmeal and fish oil sectors derived from forage fisheries in the European Union (EU). Landings destined for non-food use vary depending on the level of quotas and catches. Regardless of variations in catches, the EU is not self-sufficient...

In general, consumers have very little knowledge about production methods employed in the fish sector, and this lack of information contributes to skepticism and confusion when they choose and purchase fish. In our study, we tested the effect of beliefs and objective and subjective knowledge on...

Many countries sell fishing rights to foreign nations and fishers. Although African coastal waters are among the world's most biologically rich, African countries earn much less than their peers from selling access to foreign fishers. African countries sell fishing access individually (in...

Current regulations regarding the Nile Perch Fishery in Lake Victoria provide gear specifications for the two main gears employed, Gillnets and Longlines, by defining the minimum size available. Additionally, the legal range of catchable fish is regulated: between 50 and 84 cm. Gillnets are...

We exploit variation in the composition of local fish catches around the time of birth using administrative and census data on adult cognitive test scores, schooling attainment, and occupation among coastal populations in Colombia to estimate the causal effects of early-life consumption of...

Developing an all-biomass feedstock, simple process and low-cost way to achieve cotton fabric flame retardation is of great significance in civil, military and industrial fields. Herein, making use of layer-by-layer coating of protein extracted from fishery waste fish scales and phytic acid (PA)...

Instrumental variables (IV) estimation of a demand equation using time series data is shown to produce a weighted average derivative of heterogeneous potential demand functions. This result adapts recent work on the causal interpretation of two-stage least squares estimates to the simultaneous...

Fish is an important source of healthy proteins and an important economic sector in Mediterranean countries. Despite the wealth of knowledge acquired in Western countries, a gap has been found in studies in developing countries, as in the Mediterranean southern shore. Therefore, we aimed to...

African aquaculture production has gradually increased over the years, but progress is still slow. Given large variations between African countries with regard to the availability of water, the macro-economic context, access to capture fisheries resources and other factors, the performance of...

Gorai River is one of the important rivers in Bangladesh for rich aquatic biodiversity. The river is originated from the Ganges-Padma River system, a trans-boundary river between India and Bangladesh. Once the river was rich in fish biodiversity, but due to man-made and natural causes the...

The WTO Agreement on Agriculture applies to those "agricultural products" as defined in its Annex 1. This definition expressly excludes "fish and fish products" from the scope of application of the Agreement. In light of this exclusion, the paper is intended to provide a historical account of...
