  • Diversification or Specialization: The Impact of U.S. West Coast Trawl Rationalization on Multiregional Fishery Participation and Effort

    Creator:
    Kasperski, Stephen and Hsueh, Lily

    "Rationalization” or the change to catch share management in fisheries has been shown to lead to the slowing of fishing activity, input and effort consolidation, cost savings, as well as new market and product development. The effects of rationalization on fishermen’s behavior become more complex when one accounts for the...

    Abstract:
    Recreational fishing for popular species like red snapper and grouper in the Gulf of Mexico has followed a familiar pattern to that observed in many commercial fisheries: fishing under regulated open access has promoted a “race to the fish” with cascades of shorter seasons, shrinking bag limits, and significant fishery...
