Table 3.10

TANZANIA - L.VICTORIA WATERS, ILLUSTRATIVE ANNUAL COST AND EARNINGS FOR NON-MOTORISED NILE PERCH CANOE FISHING UNIT (Tsh. July 1987)

NOTES

1. Equipment and GearCanoe dimensions are about 8 m in length, 1.4 m beam. Nets are assumed to be 20 in number, of the “tyre” type.

2. Gross RevenueAssumes a catch rate of 3 kg/net/day for 275 fishing days/year. Beach price for Nile perch is taken as Shs. 20/kg.

3. Operating CostsCrew size is assumed to be 3 out of 4 persons working in rotation. The crew is expected to take part of the catch (3 kg/day) for autoconsumption and to receive other food rations (maize meal/rice) worth Shs. 100/day. The catch share for the crew is taken as 25%. The annual maintenance allowed is 20% of the investment. Depreciation is calculated on the basis of a replacement time of 1 year for nets and 4 years for canoes.

4. Management Opportunity CostThe owner's opportunity cost is reckoned at 2 times the minimum wage, assumed to be Shs. 1300/month. It is further assumed that the owner is working half time.

5. Net RevenueReturn to capital is gross revenue less all costs. Rate of return on investment is return to capital divided by capital investment. Net revenue to owner is the return to capital plus the opportunity cost of management. Total revenue to a crew member is crew share plus benefits divided by a total crew size of four.

Table 3.11

TANZANIA - L.VICTORIA WATERS, ILLUSTRATIVE ANNUAL COST AND EARNINGS FOR MOTORISED NILE PERCH CANOE FISHING UNIT (Tsh. July 1987)

NOTES

1. Equipment and Gear
Canoe dimensions are about 9 m in length, 1.8 m beam. Nets are assumed to be 50 in number, of the “tyre” type.

2. Gross Revenue
Catch rate, fishing days, and beach price for Nile perch as in Table 3.10.

3. Operating Costs
Crew size for motorised units is assumed to be 3 out of 5 persons working in rotation. Fish and other food for the crew are as in Table 3.10. The catch share for the crew is taken as 17.5%. Actual share proportions are mostly 15 or 20% of the catch, according to information collected from fishermen. Fuel per fishing day is 20 1, at Shs. 55/1. Oil per fishing day is 500 ml, at a cost of Shs. 70. Maintenance is reckoned at 20% of investment. Depreciation on canoe and nets is as in Table 3.10. Engine life is assumed to be 6 years.

4. Management Opportunity Cost
Figured as in Table 3.10, except that the owner of a motorised unit is assumed to be working full time.

5. Net Revenue
Return to capital is gross revenue less all costs. Rate of return on investment is return to capital divided by capital investment. Net revenue to owner is the return to capital plus the opportunity cost of management. Total revenue to a crew member is crew share plus benefits divided by a total crew size of five.
