  • Two Econometric Approaches for Spatial Fisheries Management

    Creator:
    Smith, Martin D.
    Abstract:
    This paper analyzes spatial patterns of exploitation in the California sea urchin fishery using two different econometric approaches: a Poisson/SUR model of monthly observations and a micro-level Nested Logit model of individual harvester daily decisions. Each model is used to simulate the spatial distribution of fishing effort. The models are...

  • Landing Fees vs. Harvest Quotas with Uncertain Fish Stock

    Creator:
    Weitzman, Martin L.
    Abstract:
    The paper analyzes the relative performance of two market-based fisheries management instruments in the presence of a stochastic stock-recruitment relation. Regulators are forced to choose either a fee per fish landed or a quota on the total fish harvest – at a time when they are uncertain what will be...

  • Quality assurance schemes for seafood - structure and implementation

    Creator:
    Norberg, Hans Martin
    Abstract:
    Generic Quality Assurance Schemes referred to as Schemes, have been established in the primary industries in many countries. They represent an important part of the generic marketing for different categories of foodstuffs, especially primary produce. Such Schemes are established due to, among other things, severe competition in the international food...

  • Estimating a Generalized Gordon-Schaefer Model with Heterogeneous Fishing Data

    Creator:
    Zhang, Junjie and Smith, Martin D.
    Abstract:
    This paper proposes a two-stage method to estimate a generalized Gordon-Schaefer model, using heterogeneous fishing data in the logbook. A Cobb-Douglas production function is consistently estimated in the first stage by means of the ‘within period estimator’. A stock index is constructed and used to estimate the logistic growth model...

  • Bycatch Avoidance under Cooperative Management

    Creator:
    Holland, Daniel and Martin, Chris
    Abstract:
    The US Pacific Whiting fishery is a large industrial fishery with landings over 260 thousand metric tons valued at $64 million in 2014. A catch share system was implemented in the fishery in 2011 with IFQs for shoreside vessels and allocations to a mothership and a catcher-processor cooperative. Bycatch is...

  • Integrating Different User Groups into Fishery Management

    Creator:
    Regnier, Esther and Quaas, Martin
    Abstract:
    Different user groups have different stakes in fisheries. The societal challenge is that, exploiting the same fish stock, or ecologically interacting stocks, recreational and customary fishermen interact with a continuum of commercial fishermen, ranging from very small-scale and part-time artisanal fishermen to large-scale fishing firms. In this paper we develop...

  • Combining Property Rights and Landings Taxes to Mitigate the Ecological Impacts of Fishing

    Creator:
    Smith, Martin D. and Gopalakrishnan, Sathya
    Abstract:
    Economists have long promoted fishery rationalization programs, but ITQs may fail to address the ecological consequences of fishing. Of particular concern is that economic incentives to harvest larger fish (due to size-dependent pricing or quota-induced discarding) can destabilize fish populations or lead to evolutionary changes. A substantial theoretical literature in...

  • Optimal Fisheries Management in the Presence of an Endangered Predator and Harvestable Prey

    Creator:
    Kaplan, Jonathan D. and Smith, Martin D.
    Abstract:
    This paper analyzes optimal fishery management in the presence of an endangered predator that competes with humans for a commercially viable prey. Because traditional predator controls are not possible when the predator is endangered, we focus on harvest effort controls over the prey’s habitat as a means to maintain the...

  • Effectiveness and Efficiency of Alternative Fishery Management Approaches

    Creator:
    Quaas, Martin, Schmidt, Jörn O., and Voss, Rudi
    Abstract:
    The success of fishery management ultimately depends on the approach of implementation. Past fishery management has relied largely on technical regulations. Examples for such command-and-control measures include detailed gear prescriptions, restrictions on the days-at-sea spent fishing and vessel capacity, and minimum landing sizes. Resource economists have argued in favor of...

  • Will innovation in bluefin tuna aquaculture improve conservation of wild-caught bluefin tuna stocks?

    Creator:
    Karasik, Rachel, Smith, Martin, and Li, Qingran
    Abstract:
    Scarcity of wild-caught seafood has incentivized innovation and growth in aquaculture, especially for species that compete directly with wild alternatives. In the global tuna industry, the most pronounced scarcity is associated with bluefin tuna species (Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern, which serve similar markets). Supply-side factors including overfishing and governance challenges...
