  • Green Accounting for a Commercial Fishery

    Creator:
    Cairns, Robert D.
    Abstract:
    The theory of extensions to the national accounts is expressed in models in which wealth is being explicitly maximized. For the fishery, the central issue is such valuation when the policy being followed is inefficient. We begin the task of making such valuations for commercial products of a fishery. Capacity...

  • Fish is More Than a Brain Food

    Creator:
    Ackman, Robert G.
    Abstract:
    From merely being cod liver oil taken for vitamins A and D, fish oils have moved into the center stage of fatty acids in nutrition. The analytical work starting in 1950 provided the means to recognize the long-chain and truly essential n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids vital for retinal, neurological and...

  • A Spatial Model of Dolphin Avoidance in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean

    Creator:
    Schnier, Kurt and Hicks, Robert
    Abstract:
    Eco-labeling has been touted as a way for consumer preferences for environmentally benign products to be transmitted in markets. The label, as the argument goes, provides information to consumers who may then pay a price premium for the labeled products. Producers view demand for the eco-labeled products as quality differentiated...

  • Eco-labeled Marine Ornamentals: Expected Demand and Value from a Conjoint Survey

    Creator:
    Larkin, Sherry and Degner, Robert
    Abstract:
    The saltwater aquarium hobby has increased dramatically in the last decade due to improvements in the technologies and knowledge needed to sustain mini-reef ecosystems. With this increased demand comes increased pressure on natural reef ecosystems that supply the vast majority of the live organisms for the commercial market. To combat...

  • Tuna Fishery Management in the Western Central Pacific - An Industry Perspective

    Creator:
    Roberts, Phil
    Abstract:
    The Western Central Pacific Fishery Commission (WCPFC) was inaugurated in 2004 after a preparatory process which commenced in 1996. Scientific advice is that skipjack stocks are in good condition, but bigeye and yellowfin stocks are being exploited too heavily and reductions of effort are needed to avoid overfishing. Compared to...

  • Over 50 Years of Government Fisheries Service—Then and Now

    Creator:
    Schoning, Robert W.
    Abstract:
    As background, at the national level, for many years the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries concentrated on exploratory fishing, gear development, food science, catch statistics, scientific research, and marketing, and serviced the commercial industry in a variety of ways. In the early 1970's the name was changed to National Marine...

  • Policy Conundrum: Restoring Wild Salmon to the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Lackey, Robert T.
    Abstract:
    Restoring wild salmon runs to the Pacific Northwest is technically challenging, politically nasty, and socially divisive. Past restoration efforts have been largely unsuccessful. Society’s failure to reverse the continuing decline of wild salmon has the characteristics of a policy conundrum: nearly everyone supports, abstractly at least, restoring salmon runs; considerable...

  • A Bioeconomic Evaluation of Future Management Options for the Australian West Coast Rock Lobster Fishery

    Creator:
    McLeod, Paul, Linder, Robert, and Nicholls, John
    Abstract:
    The West Coast Rock Lobster fishery is Australia's most valuable commercial fishery. Around 550 vessels harvest 10,500 tonnes of lobster per annum. The industry has an enviable track record of biological management which has been based on a variety of input controls. In recent years this has necessitated three significant...

  • The Optimal Recovery of a Semelparous Fish Population with Delayed Recruitment

    Creator:
    Doole, Graeme J. and Alexander, Robert R.
    Abstract:
    Annual recruitment of the New Zealand longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) has decreased by around 75 percent since heavy levels of commercial fishing began in the early 1970s. Given the unsustainability of existing regulatory policy, a deterministic multiple-cohort bioeconomic model is developed and applied to this system to gain insight into...
