Abstract:: In Norway, structuring of the fishing fleet has been an ongoing process since the start of the 1960'ies. Since then, both the number of vessels in Norwegian fisheries and fishers have been reduced by roughly 85 %. For decades, the fisheries industry has been considered a mean to employment and...

Abstract:: Socio-economic analysis of seafood production is important for the conservation of aquatic ecosystems and the management of fisheries and aquaculture activities. Understanding how the livelihoods of people, dependent on the exploitation of aquatic resources, are affected by various changes is essential for decision making. The two main seafood production sectors,...

Creator:: Hermansen, Oystein and Thyholdt Braaten, Sverre
Abstract:: Bargaining power has in many fisheries shifted considerably from fish processors to fishermen with modern communications, higher fleet mobility and increased scarcity of the resources. In Norway, fishermen were to a large degree exploited by processors up until the early 20th century. A strong collaborative effort from the fishermens' union...

Creator:: Hermansen, Oystein and Dreyer, Bent
Abstract:: In many fisheries, the harvesting pattern shows considerable intra-year variation. These fluctuations give challenges for downstream firms in value chains where predictability and continuity in the flow of production are important. Seasonal harvesting may well be rational from an economic perspective, as migration patterns can give huge variations in catch...

Creator:: Hermansen, Oystein and Dreyer, Bent
Abstract:: Capture-based aquaculture (CBA) is an industry that utilizes wild-captured specimens as stocking animals for ongrowing or storage. This yields an intriguing direct link between capture fisheries and aquaculture of these resources. Examples of CBA are collection of early life stages of many crustaceans and adolescent tunas for grow-out in aquaculture...

Creator:: Hermansen, Oystein and Eide, Arne
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...
