  • Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Canada-US Management in the Bay of Fundy

    Creator:
    Cook, B. A.
    Abstract:
    Atlantic salmon aquaculture is a growing industry in the Bay of Fundy on Canada’s Atlantic coast. The vast majority of aquaculture sites are concentrated in a relatively small coastal region of the province of New Brunswick (NB) where the industry is viewed as a major component of regional economic development....

  • Estimating pollution abatement costs of salmon aquaculture

    Creator:
    Liu, Yajie, Sumaila, Rashid, and Gulati, Sumeet
    Abstract:
    Salmon aquaculture generates good output (i.e. salmon) and bad output (e.g., pollution). A joint production function approach is applied to model both outputs simultaneously. Two environmental production technologies are proposed, namely, regulated and unregulated technologies. Two production function models with different mapping rules in the analysis are used. Pollution abatement...

  • Duration Analysis of Fleet Dynamics

    Creator:
    Holloway, Garth and Tomberlin, David
    Abstract:
    Though long a standard technique in engineering and medical research, duration or survival analysis has become common in economics only in recent decades, and in fisheries economics we are aware of only one previous study. In this paper, we demonstrate the usefulness of duration analysis to understanding fleet dynamics, specifically...

  • Voluntary Approaches to Transitioning from Competive Fisheries to Rights- Based Management

    Creator:
    Knapp, Gunnar and Murphy, James J.
    Abstract:
    Despite potential advantages of rights-based management over competitive fisheries, there has been significant political resistance to rights-based management from many fishermen, which has slowed the adoption of rights-based management. This paper explores the concept of voluntary transitions to rights-based management, under which fishermen may choose between an allocated fishery (with...

  • Investigating Salmon Price Volatility

    Creator:
    Oglend, Atle and Sikveland, Marius
    Abstract:
    An understanding of the structure of price volatility is of great interest since this is a major contributor to economic risk in the salmon industry. The volatility process in salmon prices was analyzed based on weekly price data from 1995 to 2007. The Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model was...

  • Economic Inefficiency and Environmental Impact: An Application to Aquaculture Production

    Creator:
    Roll, Kristin H., Asche, Frank, and Tveterås, Ragnar
    Abstract:
    In industries that are characterized by frequent innovations and high productivity growth, substantial variation in both produced quantity and input use may occur and lead to increased cost. As both excessive input use and misallocation of inputs are costly for the producer, firm-specific measures of both technical and allocative inefficiency...

  • The Economics of Norwegian Salmon Farming: A Review of 30 years of Production Growth

    Creator:
    Rødseth, Kenneth Løvold and Guttormsen, Atle G.
    Abstract:
    Norwegian aquaculture emerged in the end of 1960 when new discoveries transformed production from trout farming to salmon farming. During recent decades farmed salmon has been one of the most successful aquaculture species in terms of production growth. Annual global production has increased from a few thousand tons in 1980...

    Abstract:
    While much attention has been focused on the level and impact of IUU fishing on sub Saharan Africa, much less work has been undertaken and less is known on how and to what extent IUU fishing affects the Asia-Pacific region. As part of a larger project commissioned by the Asia...
