Description

To evaluate the trend of current commercial fisheries landings in Palau, landing and price patterns, species characteristics, quantity-price relationships, gear, trade features, and international cooperation aspects were analyzed. Palau's fisheries have many problems and much potential. The problems include follow-up of JICA's cooperation, the PFFA's mismanagement and commercial fisheries development policy including a fixed-price policy, fish handling and grant vessel management. Potential exists not only in solving these problems, but also in developing trochus shell factories, removing institutional constraints for the MMDC, and in utilizing potentially valuable shorebased structures such as the Van Camp facilities.
