The Laboratory of Social Economy and Fish Capture focuses on a multidisciplinary approach to understand and improve fisheries management as well as the socio-economic outcomes of fisheries.
Social Economic Analysis:
The laboratory studies the socio-economic conditions of fishing communities, including income levels, poverty, and the impact of fish capture on livelihoods.
Researchers study fisheries economic dynamics, such as market demand, price forecasts, and the economic impact of fisheries regulations.
Fisheries Management:
Research focuses on developing sustainable fisheries management practices to ensure long-term productivity and socio-economic benefits.
Researchers explore the political and ecological economy of capture fisheries, studying how social and economic factors influence fishing and resource management practices.
Technology Integration:
The laboratory integrates technologies such as data mining, machine learning, and automation to improve the efficiency and sustainability of fish capture.
Research focuses on the application of modern fishing methods and the impact of technological advancements on small-scale fisheries.
Environmental and Ecological Impact:
Studies ecological challenges in fisheries, such as overfishing, habitat degradation, and the impact of climate change.
Researchers evaluate the environmental impact of various fishing practices and develop models to estimate and reduce such impacts.
Field Surveys and Data Collection:
Conducting socio-economic surveys and structured interviews to collect data on fishing practices, economic conditions, and community well-being.
Monitoring fish catch results, fishing efforts, and ecological status in fishing areas to support management decision-making.
Interdisciplinary Research:
Collaborating with experts in biology, ecology, economics, and sociology to develop integrated models and comprehensive management plans.
Organizing workshops and symposiums to bridge knowledge gaps and define future research agendas.
Policy Development and Evaluation:
Developing and testing models to evaluate the socio-economic impacts of fisheries management policies.
Providing policy recommendations to improve sustainability and economic viability in the fisheries sector.
Outreach and Public Education:
Involving local communities to raise awareness of sustainable practices and the importance of ecological conservation.
Promoting public education and adoption of modern technologies and fishing methods that support sustainability.
