Creator:: Andreasson, Stefan and Flaaten, Ola
Abstract:: Gear technologists have, in recent years, developed rigid sorting grids, Sort-X, in bottom trawls, to improve the size selectivity of this type of gear. Experiments with the Sort-X system in the aft sections of trawls were carried out aboard Norwegian and Russian trawlers along the coast of Northern Norway and...

Abstract:: Vietnam’s marine fisheries are in need of knowledge-based management. This necessitates the establishment of reliable indicators, which in turn entails a good data collecting and processing system. To bridge the gap between specific requirements for fisheries policy development and the limited resources available, we have conducted a study on costs...

Creator:: Flaaten, Ola and Mjolhus, Einar
Abstract:: This paper demonstrates analytically how a nature reserve may protect the total population, realize maximum sustainable yield (MSY), maximum economic yield (MEY) and consumer surplus (CS) and how this depends on biological growth, migration, reserve size and economic parameters. The pre-reserve population is assumed to follow the logistic growth law...
