  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • A Bio-economic Analysis of an Area Rotational Management Program in the US Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery

    Creator:
    Haksever, Demet, Hart, Deborah, and Wang, Stanley
    Abstract:
    In this paper, a bio-economic simulation model for the sea scallop fishery is established and its application in analyzing the area rotation management policy is demonstrated. Section 2 describes model specification and estimation and presents the empirical model. Section 3 evaluates two policy options using the model and the last...

  • Common Pool Politics and inefficient Fishery Management

    Creator:
    Hoffmann, Julia and Quaas, Martin F.
    Abstract:
    The main instrument used in fishery management is the total allowable catch (TAC). Fishery management often fails because TACs are set too high and do not sufficiently restrict fisheries. The question we address in this paper is why do decision makers choose inefficiently high TACs? Our approach is to model...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • American consumers’ eating patterns of fish and knowledge of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids

    Creator:
    Kudo, Koei and Martin, Anna B.
    Abstract:
    Research on omega-3 fatty acids of marine origin consistently indicates the value of these substances to human health, while seafood processors face the challenge of creating value-added products rich in omega-3 compounds that consumers identify as being both healthful and tasty. In particular, albacore tuna is considered to have large...

  • Economic Impacts of Hypoxia on North Carolina Brown Shrimp

    Creator:
    Huang, Ling, Nichols, Lauren A. B., Craig, J. Kevin, and Smith, Martin D.
    Abstract:
    While environmental stressors such as hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) are perceived as a threat to the productivity of coastal ecosystems, policy makers have little information about the economic consequences for fisheries. Prior studies based on data aggregated at relatively large spatial (e.g.,1000s km) and temporal (e.g., annual) scales have typically...
