Creator:: Mwebaze, Paul and Pascoe, Sean
Abstract:: The Abalone Fishery in one of Victoria’s most valuable commercial fisheries and most of the catch is exported to international markets in Asia (Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, China). Target species consist of blacklip abalone and greenly abalone (<1% of total catch). The fishery is quota managed, and the total allowable...

Abstract:: The Abalone Fishery is one of Victoria's most valuable commercial fisheries and almost all of the catch is exported to international markets, predominately in Asia. An outbreak of a virus called the Abalone Viral Ganglioneuritis (AVG) decimated one third of Australia’s abalone, starting in 2005. However, there has been little...

Abstract:: Despite the growing popularity of culture-based fisheries (CBFs) associated with village irrigation systems (VISs) in Sri Lanka, there is little knowledge about factors that influence productivity levels. To redress this, primary data from 325 fish farming groups in two districts (Kurunegala and Anuradhapura) are used to estimate a stochastic translog...

Abstract:: Individual Transferable catch-Quotas (ITQs) have become a popular management tool to reduce excess competition and foster economic efficiency in marine commercial fisheries. They have increasingly been used in more complex multispecies fisheries, where the by-catch of non-targeted species is common. In these fisheries, the reduction of discards is also being...

Abstract:: Fisheries in Queensland, and elsewhere, are coming under increased pressure from other potential resource users for access to the resources. These include the fish resource itself (i.e. by recreational fishers), as well as encroachment on the area of the fishery through conservation based closures and onshore activities (e.g. port development)...

Creator:: Pascoe, Sean, Hutton, Trevor, and Hoshino, Eriko
Abstract:: The Australian federal fisheries policy identifies maximising net economic returns as the primary objective of fisheries management. This has largely been interpreted as maximising the net economic yield (MEY) in fisheries. For multispecies fisheries, this has been based on maximising the net present value of total profit in the fishery...

Creator:: Pascoe, Sean, Coglan, Louisa, and Cattermoul, Ben
Abstract:: Differences in technical efficiency of fishing vessels are often attributed to skipper skill and differences in technology. While the later can be defined in terms of the technology employed, the former is more difficult to quantify. In this paper, the contribution of technology and skipper characteristics (e.g. level of education,...

Creator:: Tingley, Diana and Pascoe, Sean
Abstract:: Technical efficiency (TE) measures the relationship between a vessel’s inputs to the fishing process and its outputs, with full efficiency being achieved when outputs are maximised from a given set of inputs. Inputs can be physical (e.g. the vessel, gear, engine, onboard equipment, etc.), flexible (time spent fishing, size of...

Creator:: Mardle, Simon, Pascoe, Sean, Boncoeur, Jean, and Le Gallic, Bertrand
Abstract:: Fisheries management is characterised by multiple objectives. However, seldomly do bioeconomic models incorporate more than one or possibly two key objectives, typically profit and employment, into an analysis. There are both practical and technical reasons for this. This study considers the incorporation of eight key objectives into a bioeconomic analysis...

Creator:: Herrero, Ines and Pascoe, Sean
Abstract:: Recently, there has been an increasing interest among researchers on efficiency in fisheries. They have not just been focused on the analysis of the efficiency itself but also for other purposes as measures of capacity utilisation. However, often, efficiency analyses do not offer clear results regarding the sources of the...
