Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the technical efficiency for Setbag net fishing boats operated in the year 2014. A total of 100 samples of Setbag net fishing boats were selected, of which 40 were from Cox’s Bazar, 40 were from Chittagong and 20 were from Bagerhat. Stochastic frontier (with technical inefficiency effect) model was specified and estimated. Results have shown that the estimated mean technical efficiency of Setbag net fishing boats is 84 percent. The efficiency of Setbag net fishing boat was positively associated with total cost, while the number of nets were negatively related to fishing day and crew size. Head maji ’s age had significant effect on inefficiency at 5% level. Although, the effect on boats’ efficiency was positive, (though insignificant) for head maji’s experience, head maji’s education, engine horse power and boat age. The use of modern fishing boat and improved fishing technology should be promoted, through proper training and motivation program for fisher. At the same time old and unfit fishing boat and gears should be gradually removed and replaced by new and modern fishing boat. The Agriculturists 2017; 15(2) 59-65

孟加拉渔网技术效率:随机生产前沿模型的应用

对2014年运营的Setbag网渔船的技术效率进行了研究。总共选择了100艘Setbag网渔船样本，其中40艘来自考克斯巴扎尔，40艘来自吉大港，20艘来自巴格哈特。建立了随机前沿(含技术无效率效应)模型，并对其进行了估计。结果表明，Setbag网渔船的平均技术效率估计为84%。Setbag网渔船效率与总成本呈正相关，网数与捕捞天数和船员规模呈负相关。在5%水平上，马头年龄对效率低下有显著影响。虽然，对船的效率的影响是正的，(虽然不显著)对马队长的经验，马队长的教育，发动机马力和船的年龄。应通过对渔民的适当培训和激励方案，促进使用现代渔船和改进的捕鱼技术。同时，应逐步拆除旧的、不适合的渔船和渔具，代之以新的、现代化的渔船。农学家2017;15 (2) 59 - 65
