We estimate a model with a DOLS specification backed by Engle-Granger test for cointegration in order to confirm a long - run relationship. This paper identifies the pricing policy as the key determinant of fishing performance and, encourage s efficient government support based on clear understanding of the needs of fishers in Comoros to reduce problem and enhance current catch levels that maintain a higher yearly potential yield.
