Start year 2007 End year 2008 Funding (€) € 42,645 Website NA Summary The stock of red shrimps (Aristaeomorpha foliacea and Aristeus antennatus) in the Ionian Sea is now in pristine condition due to the non-fisheries development. The survey showed that in the Ionian Sea there is a serious stock of these two species. The goal of the project is to study the feasibility of developing a fishing trawler for the stock red shrimp Ionian Sea using innovative analytical methods. The innovation in this project is that it has never been done in Greece management approach with methods such as: bio-economic model, analyse cost/benefit and economic valuation of stock (stock valuation). Within this target made in accordance with the signed contract: l Collection of all existing scientific data on the biology, fisheries, ecology of both red shrimps in the Ionian Sea l socio-economic analysis of fisheries region, through a series of interviews with local fishermen engaged in fishing of these species l bio-economic model l analysis of cost/benefit l economic valuation of stock (stock valuation). Results: The final conclusion is that it seems viable shrimp duplication of effort (doubling time either fishing or the number of vessels), leading to an increase in income by 35 %. Potential future increases fuel can reduce the efficiency of these vessels.
The goal of the project is to study the feasibility of developing a fishing trawler for the stock red shrimps in the Ionian Sea using innovative analytical methods: (1) Bio-economic model analysis of cost; (2) Benefit socio-economic analysis of fisheries wider area economic valuation of stock (stock valuation).
