Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over last decade, the volume of aquaculture production worldwide has grown at a rate of 4.6% per year. Now with advances in technology, the aquaculture industry has developed new farming techniques, models and even new species. However, the expansion of aquaculture industry not only depends on marketing, but also on the economic and financial viability. One of the ways to clarify the situation of aquaculture is through the “Producing Economy Analysis”. At the same time, “Risk Analysis” can assist operator to explore the challenges and threats of uncertain factors in farming operations. In order to face the unpredictable market conditions, “Marketing Research” is necessary. This Special Issue aims to collect studies that focus on the Producing Economy, Economic and Financial Feasibility, Aquaculture Risk Analysis and Marketing Research. I am pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Economics of Fish Farms and the Impact Marketing” in the Fishes journal.

The Bioeconomic Analysis of Hybrid Giant Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × Epinephelus lanceolatus) and Green Grouper (Epinephelus malabaricus): A Case Study in Taiwan

Grouper aquaculture is a rapidly growing and dynamic industry within the Taiwan aquaculture sector that serves as an important source of income generation. Farming fishes at a better location (FFABL) is a promising production strategy. This study evaluated the production and economic performance of grouper farming in Taiwan. This investigation employed two steps: (1) a cost–benefit analysis to determine the main component affecting profitability; and (2) multivariate statistics to clarify the relationship between biological and economic factors. The findings suggest that the best choice of species is hybrid giant grouper that generates and highlights a positive income, viable benefit–cost ratio and profit rate. The study found the feed management of hybrid giant groupers requires more consideration due to its low feed conversion ratio. The producers need to replace trash fish in commercial feed during the production cycle to ensure better feed management. Finally, this paper argues that feed is the main constraint for grouper farming, which is sensitive to any change in feed productivity, and this constraint must be solved to sustain the grouper industry in Taiwan.

The dynamic evolution and regional heterogeneity of fishery efficiency development must be explored from an ecological perspective to reveal the spatial pattern of fishery ecological efficiency. Thus, taking 30 provinces/cities in China between 2006 and 2020 as research objects, we measured the level of the fishery ecological efficiency and regional fishery ecological efficiency convergence indexes using the superefficiency and convergence indexes, respectively. We found the following: (1) The ecological efficiency of China’s fishery shows a wavelike upward trend with significant fluctuations, but the overall efficiency level is not high. (2) The development of regional fishery ecological efficiency is not well coordinated; however, the variation curve of fishery ecological efficiency in the eastern and central regions is gradually decreasing. (3) A trend of “catching up and surpassing” is observed in the development of fishery ecological efficiency in various regions of China, and regional fishery ecological efficiency gradually converges to the regions’ respective steady-state levels over time. The results indicate a significant gap in regional fishery ecological efficiency, as well as polarization; areas with lower fishery efficiency are catching up with high-efficiency areas at different speeds, and regional fishery ecological efficiency is stabilizing.

The efficiency change, mutual cooperation, and interaction among the three fishery industries in China can accurately reflect the level of economic development within the industry. Studying the relationships between the three fishery industries under the existing structural system is conducive to enhancing the endogenous power and steady progress of the industry. Using the DEA-Malmquist model, gray correlation, impulse response, and variance decomposition methods, this paper focuses on the specific value appreciation process of the three fishery industries, namely, fishery capture and aquaculture (primary industry), aquatic processing (secondary industry), and recreational fishery activities (tertiary industry), in order to analyze the synergy and interactive response relationship among the three fishery industries during the period of 2003 to 2020 based on the value chain. We propose specific policy suggestions regarding the overall efficiency level and integration degree of the three fishery industries. The results show the following: (1) the efficiency of fishery capture and aquaculture (primary industry) and aquatic processing (secondary industry) show significant regional differences, and the change in trend in the efficiency of recreational fishery activities (tertiary industry) is better than that of the other two. (2) Most of the synergy degrees of fish capture and aquaculture efficiency, aquatic processing efficiency, and recreational fishing efficiency, are medium and above. (3) The interactions among the efficiencies of the three fishery industries in the country and that in different regions vary. From a national perspective, the efficiency of the fishery industries can be dependent on economic inertia. There is a regional heterogeneity among the interactive responses to the efficiency of the three fishery industries in China; the interaction of fishery value chain efficiency in the four economic regions differs in both strength and direction. Exploring the synergy and interactive response among the three fishery industries in China from the value chain perspective can provide a basis for the precise governance of different regional characteristics and help to modernize the fishery industry.
