“…The coefficient for the number of fishing trips per week was negative and statistically significant in explaining the technical inefficiency of the Nile perch fishers, meaning with increasing numbers of fishing trips, the fishers tend to be less efficient. This is because crew members get tired with more fishing trips per week, thereby decreasing their productivity, a finding consistent with Powell et al () and Rahman, Zahid, Khairi, and Hussin (), who reported a direct positive correlation between the number of fishing trips and fishing performance.…”

The Nile perch fishery sector in Tanzania is important for enhancing the livelihoods and food security for the majority of people living near the Tanzanian portion of Lake Victoria. Despite continued government efforts and other institutions, including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO), European Union and World Bank regarding the management of Lake Victoria, the Nile perch fishers have remained relative inefficient in regard to improving their fish catches. The Nile perch small‐scale fisheries sector in particular faces a challenge regarding how to improve production performance while, at the same time, ensuring a sustainable level of fisheries resources. This reality necessitates the measurement and analysis of artisan fishers’ technical efficiency. Accordingly, the present study analyses Nile perch fishers technical efficiency, using a stochastic production frontier (SPF) model based on the sample of 268 Nile perch fishers in the Tanzanian portion of Lake Victoria. The translog stochastic frontier model results indicate the technical efficiency of Nile perch fishers range between 61% and 80%, with an overall average technical efficiency of 75%. This finding implies that, based on existing fishery resources, the current quantity of Nile perch catch can be improved efficiently by 25%, a reality highlighting mismanagement of the lake's fishery resources. The quantity of bait and petrol and the number of hooks used per trip are the most important fishing inputs, indicating a positive Nile perch fishing output–input elasticity. To address the Nile perch fisher inefficiency, it is important to provide subsidized inputs such as outboard engines and mesh gillnets. Provision of access to affordable credits will enable fishers to purchase less destructive fishing inputs and improve the current structure of fishery organizations.

“…Analysis of excess fishing capacity through technical efficiency approach has been made by researchers in the world using Stochastic (SFA) (Jamnia et al, 2013) and Deterministic Approach (Rahman et al, 2016). Both approaches have drawbacks and advantages (Coelli et al, 2005).…”

The nature of competition in each purse seine fishing unit leads to excess fishing capacity utilization. This study aimed to analyze factors affecting fishing capacity in the short term, knowing the level of efficiency at each purse seine fishing unit, and to analyze factors affecting technical inefficiency. This study was conducted in Sumenep, East Java. The method used was parametric inferential statistics. The method of nalysis in this study was SFA (Stochastic Frontier Analysis) and tobit model. The research results show that number of trip, amount of FADs used, and the number of crew operator operating purse seine are significant factors affecting fishing capacity, average level of technical efficiency's of fishing unit is 36%, and the factors that negatively influence the technical inefficiency is experience of captain and the status of ownership of the vessel while the the factors that positively influence is age of captain.
