Bangus raising will generally take approximately four (4) months in order to be viable in the market for sale. Aside from the four-month raising period, the fishpond must be grown with algae that will serve as natural food for the bangus being raised. In connection with this, several types of fertilizers are needed to assists the growth of these algae. The table below will show the fertilizers that will be used along with its required volume and estimated prices provided by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources – Cagayan de Oro City Chapter.

Fertilizers Price Volume

At the start of the business operation, the bangus fingerlings will be purchased. As suggested by the BFAR personnel, fingerlings stock will be bought at Opol since it is closer to the business area. However as the business continues, the group decided to have stunting pond nearby for enough supply of fingerlings all-year around. The fish nets needed for the pond will be bought from a supplier recommended by the BFAR though subject to change when a cheaper supplier will be available. The table below shows the volume and estimated prices for the bangus fingerlings and fishnets that will be needed during the course of the business.

The proceeding table illustrates the different types of commercial feeds needed, as well as, their corresponding prices and volume. The computation for the required volume of these feeds can be seen at the exhibit of the paper.

Clay’s top trait according to StrengthQuest is Belief. I think Clay moderately displayed the Belief trait in mostly positive ways.

    The 1800’s the George’s Banks off the coast of New England was very generous to the fisherman who fished the sea for a living. There was a balance between what the fisherman took and what the sea could provide. By the mid-1900 that balances began greatly to shift. Technology developed during the 1950s allowed fishermen to take in much more fish than previous years. Through continued over fishing and lack of controls in place at the time, the fish stock depleted to the point the George’s Banks could no longer support the fisherman.

M-business is a new business model which utilizes the internet for data/voice transmission through the deployment of wireless devices like smart phones, tablets and e-purses (Gartner, n.d. ). According to Picoto, Belanger and Palma-dos-Reis (2013) m-business has revolutionized the way organizations conduct business as customers are increasingly resorting to m-business. This pragmatic shift can be explained by the reliance on mobile devices for example smart phones to shop online. Undoubtedly, the market for m-business is on an upward growth curve with forecasts establishing higher global uptakes in coming years (Picoto, Belanger, & Palma-dos-Reis, 2013).

  • Salmon Recovery

    1133 Words  | 3 Pages

    The salmon fishing industry has exploited the fish for centuries. Records of the White and Barents Seas, Northern Russia, salmon catch from the 17th Century through the 20th Century show increased exploitation and the inevitable decline of biomass (Lajus et al., 2007). In Podporozh’e weir 387 salmon were caught annually at the end of the 17th Century while 1947 fish were caught annually in the beginning of the 20th Century. Similar catch was recorded in Podporozh’e district with 560 fish annually in the 17th Century and 1544 fish annually in the beginning of the 20th Century. Catch from the Onega River illustrates even more exploitation with 848 fish annually in the 17th Century compared to 2586 fish and 3141 fish annually in the 17th Century, 1820s, and beginning of the 20th Century respectively. The catches gradually decreased in numbers after the beginning of the 20th Century due to overfishing and the introduction of the timber industry to the area. The size of the fish had dropped over this span of time from an average weight of 8.09kg in the early 17th Century to 6.72kg in the beginning of the 20th Century. In 2002 the weight had gotten even smaller with an average of 4.2kg. The Varzuga district had catch values that were even more alarming with 25,151 fish caught in the 18th Century increasing to 58,484 fish the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. However, despite the amount of fish taken from the Varzuga River the population seems stable. The Varzuga River is one of the most productive salmon rivers in the world. The ability of this river to support the large harvest is believed to be due to its lack of natural resources in the area and the remoteness keeps human populations down and makes getting to the area di...

  • The Effects of Overfishing on the Restaurant Industry

    1580 Words  | 4 Pages

    To fish or not to fish is a personal choice. The fact that the oceans are being overfished is a growing concern for individuals, organizations, and governments throughout the world. In this paper I want to discuss the effects of overfishing on the restaurant industry, and possible solutions to solve the problem. Fishing is an ongoing source of food for people around the world. In many countries it is a food staple in their everyday diet. In more modern societies eating fish has become a sensual experience, and not just for the wealthy. It hasn't been until population explosions in the last century that the demand for seafood has led to more effective fishing techniques and technologies. Now the demand for popular fish like the salmon, tuna, sea bass, cod and hoki, which is the key fish in McDonalds filet o' fish, is diving wild populations to dangerously low levels. The methods used to catch the amount of fish demanded by the industry do not leave sustainable populations in the wild. In an attempt to preserve the fish population, governments have set limits on the minimum size that may be harvested and how many of each may be taken. Boundaries have been set up saying which areas can be fished and which ones should be left alone. A number of smaller fisheries have gone out of business because of the limits imposed by the government. This leads to even less fish being harvested and brought to market. Therefore the amount and varieties of fish at markets are smaller and can cause shortages for wholesalers and restaurants. Some restaurants will no longer have the variety on their menus that they used to enjoy. If a restaurant thrives on its seafood menu they may be unable to cope with the shortages and will go out of business. In the ...

  • Fishing and the Villages of Southern Sri Lanka: A Case Study

    947 Words  | 2 Pages

    Fishing has been a mainstay industry in Sri Lanka for centuries, but it has been ravaged with political, economic, environmental disasters and social issues over the past century (Olstrom, 1990, Yamada, et al., 2006, Arunatilake et al., 2014). In the southern tip of Sri Lanka, lies the fishing village of Mawelle (Ostrom, 1990, p. 149). Southern Sri Lanka’s fishermen fish with beach seines (called madella or “big net”) that are half-mile long nets and were a source of economic stability for the individuals living in the region (Ostrom, 1990, p. 149).

  • BASF Transfer Price Management

    1008 Words  | 3 Pages

    In BASF Group, Business Units are responsible for profit and for return on investment (profit centers), each reporting to an Operating Division. Products within a company of BASF Group that are supplied from one profit center to another for further processing or for sale (i.e. they leave the boundaries of the particular Business Unit or Operating Division) should as a basic rule be charged within the arm’s length principle establishing the downstream unit as a privileged partner. These supplies are therefore charged at transfer prices. Long-term effects of transfer price agreements on business developments and the strategy of upstream and downstream profit centers are taken into account in transfer pricing. BASF’s ZZ clearing desk is responsible for resolving transfer price definition and calculation disputes. As per clearing desk step wise process for calculation of transfer price is defined, which will be used for calculation of transfer pricing. The process cannot be mentioned in this thesis because of confidentiality reasons, and only a general review of approach will be explained.
