Two Essays on the Management of the West Coast Salmon Fishery

Creator:: Vasquez-Caballero, Smit
Abstract:: The West Coast salmon fishery presents several complexities that have received little attention in the fisheries economics literature. Two of those complexities are reviewed and analyzed in this dissertation. The first, salmon fishermen participate in alternative fisheries within a season demonstrating a complex switching behavior between different species. Second, the...

A Broader Overview and Investigation into Seafood Traceability Developments and the Current Landscape for the US West Coast Seafood Industry

Creator:: Ahlers, Brian L.
Abstract:: Seafood is one of the most diverse and highly traded natural resources worldwide. Widespread evidence of increased seafood fraud and IUU fishing has placed enormous pressure on industry and governments to determine the authenticity, safety, and sustainability of seafood. The recently established US National Ocean Council has addressed several gaps...

Bioeconomic Simulation Modeling of Fisheries : Three Essays

Creator:: Cusack, Christopher Inju
Abstract:: Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...

Tags Versus Genetics : Identifying Which Tool Provides the Best Information about Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Distributions in the California Current

Creator:: Flaherty, Ryan James
Abstract:: The movement of Chinook salmon through space and time, across political boundaries, and through fisheries, creates one of the most complex marine resource management problems in the world. Information garnered from the recovery of coded-wire tags (CWTs) has been used since the 1970s to direct management decisions. Growing concern surrounding...

Multiobjective model of the Pacific whiting fishery in the United States

Creator:: Enríquez Andrade, Roberto R.
Abstract:: Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) is commercially and ecologically one of the most important fishery resources in the Pacific coast of the United States. The fishery is currently going through a period of rapid and profound transformation that could cause a substantial redistribution of benefits among domestic users. Benefits from the...

Industry-scientist cooperative research : application to the West Coast groundfish fishery

Creator:: Harms, John
Abstract:: Declining harvest levels, static agency research budgets, and increasing tension among scientists, managers, and industry members are the legacy of the present research and management institutions in the West Coast groundfish fishery. Cooperative research, the active participation of the commercial fishing industry in scientific research, is receiving increased attention as...

Management of the ecosystems of the Black Sea : alternative strategies for the control of water and nutrient inputs

Creator:: McCarthy, Maurice M.
Abstract:: The objective of this thesis is to show that by separating the two major anthropogenic changes caused in riverine input to the north shore of the Black Sea, it is possible to describe distinct linkages between ongoing ecological changes in the Black Sea, and 1) flow reduction, and 2) nutrient...

The multidimensional role of intrinsic quality in the management of natural resources : a bioeconomic analysis of the Pacific whiting fishery

Creator:: Larkin, Sherry L.
Abstract:: The relationship between intrinsic fish quality (fish condition before handling), production efficiency, product price, and the optimal management of commercial "wild" fisheries was explored in four companion papers. The optimal management plan-consisting of quotas and harvest schedules - would maximize the discounted net industry revenues (NPV) given a minimum biomass...

Contending with risk in the seafood processing industry : a bioeconomic portfolio analysis of the Pacific whiting fishery

Creator:: Tuininga, Chris R
Abstract:: Since harvest levels of many of the world's fisheries are not likely to increase in the foreseeable future, resource managers and seafood processors need to develop improved strategies to maximize the utilization and benefits of current catches. In addition to increasing utilization and benefits, seafood processors are subject to the...

Investigating a new business model for Pacific Northwest seafood micro-canners

Creator:: Wisdom, Robbie
Abstract:: Coastal communities in the Pacific Northwest are looking for ways to increase the diversity of their economies in order to reduce the negative impacts of cyclic economic swings. The economic base of many coastal communities is directly tied to healthy, dynamic working waterfronts through fishing, recreation, tourism, ports, and allied...
