  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Economic Data Collection for Marine Recreational Angling: The U.S. Approach

    Creator:
    Gentner, Brad and Hicks, Robert L.
    Abstract:
    Since 1979, the United States has been collecting data on marine recreational angling with the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistical Survey (MRFSS). To enable the estimation of travel cost models of recreational demand the base MRFSS survey has been amended to include necessary data elements. Additionally, data is collected that will...

  • Is There Hope for Fisheries Management?

    Creator:
    Schrank, William E.
    Abstract:
    Fisheries is not the only discipline where models have been used in attempts to fine tune an aspect of the economy. Such fine tuning can prove ineffective because of the uncertainties in the scientific underpinnings of the models and because of the omission of critical elements. In fisheries, the biological...

  • Role of Researchers in Support of Fisheries Co-management

    Creator:
    Arthur, Robert and Garaway, Caroline
    Abstract:
    Increased attention is being given to the promise of co-management as a means of achieving sustainable fish stocks while at the same time providing benefits to those dependent on the fishery. At the same time, the view that co-management represents a continuum between state or user control is being replaced...

  • Simulation Model Evaluation of Some Fisheries Balance Indicators

    Creator:
    Sampson, David and Scott, Robert
    Abstract:
    Chronic overcapacity has been identified as a major cause of the overfishing of Europe’s fish stocks and the poor economic performance of the European fishing fleets. Mechanisms are needed to ensure that the capacity of European fishing fleets remain proportionate to available fish stocks. To that end, the European Commission...

  • 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...
