Abstract
  • Most fishermen are faced with several options in both long and short term planning of their activity. In this paper we study fishers short term decisions when different seasonal fishery options are available. This involves choices of spatial and temporal allocation of effort as well as use of varying fishing gears in order to obtain the planned target specie mix. In a heterogeneous fishing fleet the seasonal options may differ considerably from vessel to vessel, also depending on its home port. The paper presents a framework wherein the seasonal choices are understood on the basis of economically rational behaviour where expected marginal benefit of the different options are evaluated and the most profitable season chosen. A monthly model is developed to describe the marginal profitability of the various fishing opportunities based on Norwegian data. The impact management decisions may have on the chosen seasonal profile and the vessel profitability is then discussed on the basis of the presented seasonal model. In particular we study the impacts of different quota allocation regimes. A diverse fleet structure may be an efficient response on highly fluctuating and unpredictable fish resources, while fisheries regulations may have the effect of reducing the flexibility by which the fleet can respond to such changes.
