China has the largest jellyfish fishery yield in the world with an annual harvest of around 300 thousand tons. Liaodong Bay is the most important jellyfish fishery ground in China. However, due to the high benefits of jellyfish fishery, which leads to illegal and out-of-season jellyfish fishing occurring each year in Liaodong Bay. Illegal jellyfish fishery in Liaodong Bay is a typical example of the tragedy of the commons. The key problem is that fishermen seek to an illegally initiate jellyfish fishing as early as possible. In this paper, basing on the data of edible jellyfish's biology and ecology, we mainly analyzed the history of jellyfish fishery in China, especially in Liaodong bay, and then we calculated the carry capacity of edible jellyfish in Liaodong Bay which is about 300 thousand tons one year. This number is equal to the recent annual yield of edible jellyfish in China. Furthermore, basing on the carry capacity and reasonable quotas price analysis, we set up a Jellyfish fishing quotas and deficit quotas buyback system which could be a suitable and effective solution for jellyfish fishery management and development in Liaodong Bay at the underlying roots. Although China is the first country with edible jellyfish aquaculture, the annual yield of jellyfish aquaculture is only one fifth of jellyfish fishing. So, there is a very bright developing prospect about edible jellyfish aquaculture in China.展开更多

Today there are four crayfish species present in Latvia--the European species noble crayfish (Astacus astacus), narrow-clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus), the North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) and spiny-cheek crayfish (Orconectes limosus). In general, crayfish were found in 258 localities--lakes (175), rivers and streams (66), reservoirs, ponds and gravel-pits (17). A. astacus in Latvia is the dominant crayfish species distributed in all regions. Narrow-clawed crayfish was registered since 1960s. North American signal crayfish was introduced due to its resistance to diseases, but spiny-cheek crayfish arrived from Lithuania waters spontaneously. The main threat for crayfish population is crayfish plague, initiated by mucus Aphanomyces astaci. Astacus astacus was more susceptible species in comparison with Pacifastacus leniusculus and Orconectes limosus. Though the North American signal crayfish and spiny-cheek crayfish were not only resistant, they were the carriers of this disease. The physical habitat alterations, pollution and overfishing are significant during the first year breeding period. Crayfish might serve as bacteria carriers and can cause substantial fish diseases (such as aeromonosis, flavobacteriosis).展开更多
