Creator:: Turay, Foday
Abstract:: Before 1991, the Department of Fisheries was the sole formal fisheries management authority in Sierra Leone. This authority's management of the fisheries resulted, however, in less than 10% of the estimated annual resource rent accruing to government and in increasing the importance of resource over-exploitation. To improve stock conservation and...

Creator:: Seijo, Juan Carlos
Abstract:: This paper focuses on the consequences of managing small-scale fisheries without consideration of geographical differentiation in reproductive potential through a species range. Because fishing costs increase with distance, the alternative port locations are predicted to have substantially different impacts on biological and economic performance variables when there are no spatial...

Creator:: Seijo, Juan Carlos
Abstract:: Historical long term changes in stock abundance have been related to climatic changes, and fish stocks seem to fluctuate over time in relation to warm and cold periods in ocean waters. Large fluctuations of fish stocks and long term changes in human harvest of marine resources are well known from...

Creator:: Kahn, James and Freitas, Carlos
Abstract:: Remote regions in developing countries have often not shared in the increase in income and quality of life associated with economic growth in the industrial and service sectors. This is particularly true in countries with a rapidly developing economy and middle class, such as Brazil. Remote regions remained trapped in...

Creator:: Alvarez, Antonio and Arias, Carlos
Abstract:: The estimation of production frontiers using revenue as the dependent variable is very common in fisheries research since in multi-species fisheries boats catch several species and their output must be aggregated somehow. The objective of this paper is to decompose revenue efficiency into two components, one due to quantities and...

Creator:: Kelleher, Kieran and Paredes, Carlos
Abstract:: The World Bank has fostered introduction of an individual quota management system in the world's largest fishery based on both economic and social studies. The implementation of the quota legislation has uncovered a range of issues which were largely foreseen but fall outside the remit of the fisheries authorities. The...

Creator:: Sellu, Mawundu and Tjipute, Martin
Abstract:: Sierra Leone is blessed with suitable freshwater resources where freshwater and brackish-water fish species can be cultured. It shoreline is approximately 560km long with an estimated 4, 837.8km2 of wetlands and some 500,000ha of mangrove swamps that fringe the coastline. However, not much of these available natural resources has been...

Creator:: Chavez, Carlos, Murphy, Jim, and Stranlund, John
Abstract:: While the literature that uses economic experiments to investigate self-governance of common pool resources is large, almost none of it is concerned with protecting resources from outside incursion. This work presents the results of an economic field experiment designed to study behavioral issues related to both the protection of a...

Creator:: Lee, S. Todd and Holland, Daniel
Abstract:: There is currently much national and international interest in measuring commercial fishing capacity. Two quantitative methods that will likely be used for this purpose are data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier (SF) production functions. Although both methods can be used to estimate a production frontier, their underlying assumptions and...

Creator:: Baio, Andrew
Abstract:: The paper outlines theoretical and empirical alternatives to mismatched management structures and uses institutional analysis to examine possible solutions to conflicts in fisheries resource governance arrangements in post-war Sierra Leone. The country was plunged in a bitter civil war (1991-2001) that culminated into a collapsed state. Over-centralisation of the state...
