Application of the frontier approach in capture fisheries efficiency and productivity studies: A bibliometric analysis

2023.03.22 - 1287 viewed

A vast body of literature on fisheries efficiency, productivity and fisheries efficiency-related topics exists. This study applies a bibliometric analysis to review a sample of 183 scientific articles based on the Scopus database from 1995 to 2021. The results show that from 1995 to 2021, there was a significant increase in the number of publications. Most of the productive authors’ institutions were from developed countries, and the productive authors tend to produce influential works. The topic of efficiency and productivity in fisheries has attracted scholars from geographically diverse regions (48 countries). The findings indicate that Marine Resource Economics, Marine Policy, and Fisheries Research were the top three journals for publication during 1995–2021 in this area. Data envelopment analysis, stochastic frontier analysis and stochastic distance function have been the most prevalent approaches used in the field of research over the past decades. Studies that are relevant to small-scale fisheries, artisanal fisheries, socioeconomic factors, management, economic performance, and total factor productivity have become increasingly of interest to researchers in recent years. The findings from this study can provide deeper insight to understand the publication trend, hotspots and future research directions in this research field.
