Sardines and anchovies are small pelagic fishes that support important commercial fisheries around the world. This project reviews the inverse cyclic behavior in the abundance of these two stocks, which is a striking feature in many regions. In addition, the project used qualitative loop analysis techniques to analyze the feasible...
This research investigates the ex-vessel price flexibility of U.S. Pacific
sardine landings using a price response analytical framework. Under
perfectly competitive market conditions, we would expect to observe an
inverse relationship between the average price and the aggregate quantity
supplied. However, affiliations between U.S. Pacific sardine harvesters and
processors, as...
This paper briefly describes the past development of the Bali Strait small pelagic fishery, and presents the impact of increasing fishing pressure and climatic variable on the quantity of catch. This paper then presents an estimate of its rent potential and the impact of increasing fishing pressure on rent at...
