The Effect of Days at Sea Limits on Technical Efficiency

Creator:

Georgianna, Daniel, Kirkley, James, and Thunberg, Eric

Abstract:

Outputs and inputs during 1994-2006 in the USA Northeast Multispecies (groundfish) fishery—including days fished for a group of 47 otter trawl vessels fishing out of New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA—were analyzed to test the hypothesis that restricting the annual days-at-sea (DAS) of individual fishing vessels increased Technical Efficiency (TE). The results...
