Formation of a Fishing and Aquaculture Cluster as a Tool for Regional Competitiveness

Nature of property rights and motivation for blue growth: An empirical evidence from the fisheries industry

“…The EU14 and EU13 nations' improved sustainable fisheries development suggests economic growth's remarkable and considerable impact on higher quantiles. The experience of Mexico, as reported by Peñaloza‐Talavera et al (2022), Ecuador, as reported by Delgado et al (2021), Malaysia, as reported by Soh et al (2021), China, as reported by Kang et al (2023), and Le, as reported by Li et al (2021), provides evidence that increasing economic growth will increase the sustainability of fisheries. Therefore, we advocate for increasing economic performance in nations that produce fish, particularly in the developed EU14 nations with significant fisheries output.…”

“…The capacity to create and maintain inclusive wealth without compromising the sector's ability to sustain or grow its existing wealth levels is what is meant by the phrase “fisheries industry sustainability.” For instance, Yusuf (2022), Kusumajanti et al (2022), Handaka et al (2022), Suryana and Amalia (2021), and Suryana and Perdiansyah (2021) investigated the sustainability of the fisheries processing industry in Indonesia, revealing that Depok City was ranked first with extremely high competitiveness and had advantages in three variables, namely the facilities and infrastructure, productivity, and the application of science and technology (Handaka et al, 2022). In Mexico, Peñaloza‐Talavera et al (2022) looked at the impact of market competition on the fisheries sector, asserting that market competition may considerably increase fisheries' economic growth. Delgado et al (2021) evaluated stakeholders' perceptions of fisheries industry sustainability variables and their effects on implementing economic policies in Ecuador, concluding that lack of competitiveness is a significant challenge in developing appropriate policies for the fisheries industry's sustainable development for coastal populations who depend on fisheries activity for their economic livelihood.…”

“…From 2001 to 2020, Sweden exceeded its limit by 16% (552,000 tonnes), ranking the nation seventh on the Over fisheries League Table (Handaka et al, 2022). Adopting the EU Common Fisheries Policy has brought various restrictions on the fisheries sector (Peñaloza‐Talavera et al, 2022). The ‘economic space’ for EU fisheries companies is determined by Total Allowable Catches (TACs) and Multi‐Annual Guidance Programmes (MAGPs), which are intended to restrict the fisheries effort (Peñaloza‐Talavera et al, 2022).…”

The ‘economic space’ for EU fisheries companies is determined by Total Allowable Catches (TACs) and Multi‐Annual Guidance Programmes (MAGPs), which are intended to restrict the fisheries effort (Peñaloza‐Talavera et al, 2022). The changes demonstrate that certain restrictions have grown towards rights for specific fishermen or for their communities, more or less accidentally.…”

“…Limitations lead to scarcity, which gives property rights an economic aspect. This study aims to determine if lessons about intellectual property rights may be applied to the sustainability of the fisheries sector (Peñaloza‐Talavera et al, 2022). Although every living thing that has ever been in nature is ineligible for a patent, whatever is made by human creativity and the putting in of human intelligence, if “new” and “non‐obvious,” is, in theory, patentable (Delgado et al, 2021), this opens up the possibility of patenting in the fisheries industry.…”
