This study proposes an e-service resource bundle (E-SRB) as an antecedent of electronic service channel (e-channel) success in small retail service providers. The E-SRB indicates a collection of three resources: e-market acuity, e-IT competence, and e-service agility. Given the interdependence of these three resources in delivering quality e-services, the authors hypothesize about their complementarity and its positive effect on performance. The results of this structural equation modeling using survey data show support for the proposed hypotheses, demonstrating that the E-SRB positively influences e-channel performance. The performance impact is not limited to perceived financial performance but extends to self-reported dollar-based sales and profits. These results have theoretical implications when it comes to linking e-service quality to financial performance. They also carry managerial implications for small-scale e-retailing, where limited resources can seriously impede the full use of the e-channel. One of these implications concerns what resources are necessary and how to allocate them in order to improve an e-service system. In the end, this study suggests that managers should understand the interrelationships that might exist among resources that collectively influence performance.

<p>The study was conducted to determine the effect of microcredit on financial performance of small scale cooking oil processors in central Malawi. Adopting a mixed research approach, the DuPont identity was used to compare the financial strengths and weaknesses between businesses that acquired a microcredit and those that did not. First, the study found that small scale cooking oil processing is a profitable business, regardless of their status in microcredit acquisition. However, microcredit had mixed effects on the financial performance of businesses. Microcredit improved the level of business capital for the businesses translating into better production efficiency, competitiveness and acquisition of a market share thus positively contributing to financial performance. On the other hand, microcredit increased the debt equity ratio hence increasing the businesses’ risk of default. The study recommends the businesses to further improve production efficiency and net asset turnovers. In addition, small and medium scale businesses ought to prudently contract microcredit in order to enhance their financial performance whilst checking for their risk of financial distress.</p>

Abstract Depredation by false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) and short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) in pelagic longlining is an issue leading to negative impacts on the economics of the fishery and on odontocetes themselves. We investigated the efficacy of a new depredation mitigation device called “DEPRED” in the interaction between bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris), and small pelagic fish (SPF) attached to branchlines to simulate caught fish. We suggest implications for DEPRED efficacy with larger toothed whales interacting with pelagic longline capture in the open ocean. The design of the device uses streamers to both deter cetaceans and protect fish from predation. In controlled experiments, we tested its efficacy by observing changes in the dolphin's behaviour brought on by the presence or absence of the device on branchlines. First, dolphin–SPF interactions were observed at the small scale using video footage recorded with an underwater camcorder. Second, the efficacy of the device was quantified from interactions between dolphins and 80 branchlines deployed on a longline 500 m long baited with SPF. One half of the SPF on successive branchlines was protected by DEPRED and the other half was not. A total of 707 branchlines were set when dolphins interacted with SPF, and among them, 355 were equipped with DEPRED. Encouraging results were obtained: over the short term, the number of damaged unprotected SPF was on average more than twice the number of protected ones. Nevertheless, habituation behaviour was observed for a resident group of T. aduncus in the experimental area. The relation between the deterrent effect of the device and constraints related to the design of such a device to be used at a commercial operational level are discussed.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Tuna longline operations also capture other than tuna species are known as by-catch are caught accidentally due to the ecological linkages. This study aims to identify the species composition of by-catch and try to analyzed the interaction of non-target species with tuna species as the target species on tuna longline fishery in the eastern Indian Ocean. Surveillance was conducted on February 2013-January 2014 by following 7 commercial tuna longliners vessel with fishing operations for 226 days. The results showed there were 36 species, where the target species consists of 4 tuna species (26.11%) and 32 by-catch species consist of by-product (24.08%) and that is not utilized (discards, 49.74%). The Results of by-catch are consists of a lancetfish (Alepisaurus spp., 42.87%), pelagic stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea, 22.05%), escolar (Lepidocybium flavobrunneum, 10.22%) and sickle pomfret (Taractichthys steindachneri, 8.21%), while for other species consists of are billfishes (6 species), shark and rays species (10 species), bony fishes (11 species) and turtles (olive ridley).</p><p>Keywords: by-catch, tuna longline, Indian ocean</p><p>-------</p><p>ABSTRAK</p><p>Pengoperasian rawai tuna juga menangkap jenis-jenis lain selain tuna yang dikenal dengan sebutan hasil tangkap sampingan (HTS atau by-catch) yang tertangkap secara tidak sengaja dikarenakan adanya keterkaitan secara ekologi.

Komposisi hasil tangkapan ikan berparuh (Istiophoridae dan Xiphiidae) menduduki peringkat kedua terbesar setelah tuna (Thunnus sp.) pada perikanan rawai tuna. Sekitar 90% jenis ikan berparuh yang di daratkan didominasi oleh ikan pedang (Xiphias gladius), yang mana merupakan hasil tangkap sampingan dari perikanan rawai tuna, terutama di Samudera Hindia bagian timur. Meskipun dikategorikan sebagai ikan dengan nilai ekonomis tinggi, akan tetapi studi mengenai parameter populasi untuk spesies ini masih terbatas, terutama di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menduga parameter pertumbuhan, laju mortalitas dan laju ekploitasi ikan pedang berdasarkan data ukuran panjang. Model pengkajian stok menggunakan data frekuensi panjang dipilih karena ketersediaan dan kemudahan pengambilan data tersebut dibandingkan dengan metode lainnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan data pemantau ilmiah tahun 2005 sampai dengan 2014 dan data pengamatan harian pendaratan tuna dan sejenisnya tahun 2002 sampai dengan 2014 di Samudera Hindia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pertumbuhan ikan pedang relatif cepat, terutama pada awal masa pertumbuhan dengan nilai K = 0,12/tahun, t0 = -0,76025 tahun dan L = 302,4 cmFL. Nilai F (0,28/tahun) sedikit lebih besar daripada nilai M (0,24/tahun), yang berarti kematian ikan pedang lebih banyak disebabkan oleh penangkapan. Nilai E sebesar 0,55 mengindikasikan bahwa ikan pedang yang tertangkap oleh armada rawai tuna di Samudera Hindia berada pada kondisi optimum. Billfishes (Istiophoridae and Xiphiidae) are the second largest catch in tuna longline fisheries. About 90% of billfishes landed dominated by swordfish (Xiphias gladius) which was a by-catch from tuna longline fisheries, especially in eastern Indian Ocean. Despite of its high economic value, study on stock assessment for this species is limited, especially in Indonesia. The catch-at-size based stock assessment model was applied, to its availability and ease on collecting the data. The Objectives of this study are to estimate growth parameter, mortality rate and exploitation rate based on catch-at-size data. The primary data was obtained from scientific observer program from 2005 to 2014 and port sampling data from 2002 to 2014. The result showed that swordfish were relatively fast growth, especially on their early age (K = 0.12/year) with t0 estimated around -0.76 year and Linf about 302.4 cmLJFL. The estimated of total mortality (Z), natural mortality (M) and fishing mortality (F) from the model were 0.52/year, 0.24/year and 0.28/year respectively. The explitation rate of swordfish in the eastern Indian Ocean is on optimum level (E=0.55).
