Fishers have reacted by reducing costs and increasing fuel efficiency of their vessels when possible, and by reducing the days spent at sea or ceasing activity. However, fuel prices explain only part of the story. We analyzed the evolution of fuel prices, fish prices, fishing activity and productivity over a 14 year period (2000-13) for the Catalan fleet (Spanish Mediterranean). Most fish prices have increased but below inflation, or even decreased, in recent years. These low fish prices, together with low vessel productivity, mainly due to the poor status of the stocks, have worsened the already poor profitability of the sector and led to a decrease in the activity (in terms of total effort and capacity) Peer Reviewed 2016-10-28T07:10:36Z 2016-10-28T07:10:36Z 2016 2016-10-28T07:10:36Z artículo http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 doi: 10.4194/1303-2712-v16_3_20 issn: 1303-2712 e-issn: 2149-181X Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 16(3): 659-668 (2016) http://hdl.handle.net/10261/139525 10.4194/1303-2712-v16_3_20 https://dx.doi.org/10.4194/1303-2712-v16_3_20 Sí none Central Fisheries Research Institute
