This report sets out to describe the key performance indicators (KPIs) for added value that have been implemented to monitor and evaluate the toolbox. The deliverable is a public and open communication.
This report consists of a brief summary of the “boom and bust” tool developed by Parma University inPrimeFish and twopeer reviewed papersabout the MATLAB implementation of the method in the FSDA toolbox developed by the University of Parma. A third paper is under revision. The intended audience of the deliverable and the journalarticle is primarily the scientific community, but the executive summary is written in plain language and is therefore understandable to other stakeholder groups.
While the adverse climate and health impacts of the Western diet have been demonstrated, the place of fish/seafood in climate-friendly and healthy diets is unclear.We tackle that question with a model simulating how a rational consumer urged to consume more fish would modify his diet.
This deliverable summarizes the work performed under task 3.5 “Assessment and valuation of non-market effects of aquaculture and capture fisheries”, and formulates it in the form of a manuscript for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The intended audience of the journal is researchers, analysts and policy makers. In order to report from this task in a language understandable for a broader audience, we below give a summary of the most important findings and main conclusions.
This deliverable consists of a scientific paper “Industry dynamics and the role of aquaculture sustainability certification in pre-competitive sectoral strategic positioning”that has been submitted to thescientific journal, Marine Policy. The intended audience of the journal is researchers, analysts and policy makers. Additionally, in the appendix of thisdeliverable another manuscript is included,based partly on research within PrimeFish, called “Testing Governance of Value Chains: Weak Exogeneity of Prices in the Pangasius Value Chain from Vietnam to Germany”.
The deliverable consists of a manuscript to thescientific journal, Aquaculture. The intended audience of the journal article is primarily the scientific community.
The primary aim of the empirical analysis was to compare the economic performance of salmon farming firms in Norway and Scotlandwhich are the first and third important salmon production countries in the world.
As part of WP2 “Economic performance and prices” in PrimeFish, this Deliverable 2.5consists of a manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal on “boom and bust” cycles in European seafood markets. The audience for the deliverable is the scientific community, analysts and policy makers.
The paper, “Price volatility in the fisheries and aquaculture sector and detection of “boom—and-bust” cycles”, has been submitted to Fisheries Research, which has an impact factor of 1.874.
This deliverable consistsof two parts, a general description of methods used to assess competitiveness in seafood sectors as well as economic activity in generaland a paper on competitiveness in salmon farming in Norway, Chile, Scotland, the FaroeIslandsand Canada that has beensubmitted to an academic journal.The intended audience of the deliverable is primarily the scientific community, but the executive summary is written in plain language and is therefore understandable to other stakeholder groups.
The main goal of WP1 in PrimeFish is to select, develop, extend and harmonize the use of various methodologies involved in assessing the competitiveness of the European fisheries- and aquaculture sectors, including data collection- and analysis methods/procedures, as well as developing and extending said methodology to cover specific species. Feedback will also be collected from the respective method users in order to evaluate the aptitude of the respective methods. Lastly, as part of the Horizon 2020 Open Research Data Pilot, a "data management plan" (DMP) will be created.
