  • The Value of Eco-Labels through Revealed Consumer Preferences for Seafood in San Diego County

    Creator:
    Poindexter, Oriana
    Abstract:
    Seafood markets are the inflection point in the fish-to-food transformation, and act as windows into revealed consumer preferences for seafood selection. These preferences have far-reaching implications for fisheries management, food security, and marine conservation. This study reveals consumer preferences for seafood in San Diego County by quantifying the relationship between...

  • Can Fisher Social Networks be used to Explain IFQ Trading?

    Creator:
    Ropicki, Andrew and Larkin, Sherry
    Abstract:
    Many of the tangible benefits of catch share programs (e.g., reducing overcapacity) are dependent on the trading of shares. Additional trading-related questions (such as whether landings will change port or be concentrated geographically) are also important to the overall evaluation of a fishery, but are often asked only during post-implementation...

  • Climate Change, Aquaculture and Conflicts of Interests in Northern Norway: Research Results and Comparative Methodologies

    Creator:
    Bailey, Jennifer, Eggereide, Sigrid Sandve, and Ellingsgaard, Kristian
    Abstract:
    The farming of Atlantic salmon and other aquaculture ventures have been controversial in many areas.  It has apparently been most accepted in Norway, today’s largest producer of Atlantic salmon.  Current research on climate, however, suggests that increasing water temperatures will lead to the migration of the industry from Southern and...

  • A Double Hurdle Application of Fishermen’s Catch Sales Through Fish Mothers in Ghana

    Creator:
    Quagrainie, Kwamena and Chu, Jingjie
    Abstract:
    A significant proportion of catch by artisanal fishers in Ghana is sold through wealthy middle-women, known as “fish mothers,” who often pre-finance fishing trips. This study examined the determinants of catch sales through fish mothers.  Data used came from artisanal fishermen at major coastal fishing communities in Ghana. The effects...

  • Asymmetric Information and Distributional Impacts in New ITQ Markets

    Creator:
    Grainger, Corbett, Nøstbakken, Linda, and Close, Brett
    Abstract:
    One of the main concerns surrounding the transition to individual transferable quota (ITQs) is that it could have adverse distributional consequences. Some fisheries, such as the West Coast Groundfish fishery, have implemented moratoria on permanent transfers due to a concern that large-scale firms could take advantage of smaller-scale by not...

  • Least-Cost Bycatch Reduction Through the Biodiversity Mitigation Hierarchy

    Creator:
    Squires, Dale and Garcia, Serge
    Abstract:
    The Biodiversity Impact Mitigation (BIM) hierarchy provides an overarching conservation framework for bycatch reduction, and more broadly for biodiversity conservation. This framework includes four steps, which are implemented sequentially to: (i) avoid and (ii) minimize impacts; (iii) rehabilitate/restore impacted biodiversity; and (iv), compensate such impacts, usually elsewhere. The first three steps...

  • The Bigger, the Better? Spacial Externalities, Economies of Scale, and Consolidation in the Norwegian Fish Farming Industry

    Creator:
    Nøstbakken, Linda
    Abstract:
    Early studies of economies of scale show that ownership limitations imposed large costs on salmon farming firms prior to the deregulation of the industry in 1991. Since then a number of mergers and acquisitions have taken place and the industry has become far more concentrated. Despite this, a number of...

  • Collection of U.S. Commercial Fisheries Costs

    Creator:
    Kitts, Andrew
    Abstract:
    The U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service, and its precursor agency, has collected information about the cost of commercial fishing since the 1950’s. The efforts were intermittent and geographically sporadic until 2000 when a systematic approach was developed and supported by ongoing budgetary commitments. Information about which fisheries within each region...
