The management of transboundary marine resources : recent developments and elements of analysis

Creator:: Thébaud, Olivier
Abstract:: Under the new Law of the Sea, the definition of exclusive zones was considered an important first step towards improved management of the world's fisheries. However, one of the limits to the effectiveness of extended Jurisdictions was the problem of transboundary fish stocks. This question recently appeared at the centre...

Assessing Economic Performance and Capital Productivity in the Fisheries Sector - The Case of Fishing Vessels in Brittany (France)

Creator:: Le Floc'h, Pascal, Daures, Fabienne, Guyader, Olivier, Thébaud, Olivier, and Boncoeur, Jean
Abstract:: Indicators of the economic performance of fishing vessels are frequently computed in many countries. Usually, measures of economic performance are based on the return on capital invested. However, several measures of capital value exist, according to the economic information available. In this paper, we use different types of information to...

Recovering Sustainable Fisheries

Creator:: Martinet, Vincent, Thebaud, Olivier, and Doyen, Luc
Abstract:: In this paper, we study recovering processes for fisheries facing crisis or over-exploitation of a marine renewable resource. We examine how to restore resource stocks and modify the economic characteristics of the fleet in order to put on a sustainable exploitation system, near of some maximal standard as the Maximum...

Empirical Analysis of Fishing Fleet Dynamics: Entry, Stay and Exit Choices in Selected EU Fisheries

Creator:: Mardle, Simon, Thebaud, Olivier, Guyader, Olivier, Hutton, Trevor, Prellezo, Raul, and Travers, Muriel
Abstract:: The decision to enter or exit a fishery can be expected to depend on the anticipated profitability of operating in this fishery, as a function of observed vessel performances in previous years. For a vessel exiting a fishery, there may be several reasons including decommissioning, selling or operating elsewhere. Entry...

Explaining Short-Term Choice Through Random Utility Models

Creator:: Prellezo, Raul, Andersen, Bo, Guyader, Olivier, Hutton, Trevor, Marchal, Paul, Mardle, Simon, and Thebaud, Olivier
Abstract:: Fisher behavior can be divided into choices made in the short term (i.e. tactics) and choices made in the long-mid term (i.e. strategies). Random utility modeling (RUM) is well suited for the empirical analysis of these issues. In this paper, RUM is applied to a number of EU fisheries in...

A Preliminary Analysis of Long-Term Changes in the Value of Landings by French Fishing Fleets Operating in the North-East Atlantic

Creator:: Steinmetz, Fabien, Thebaud, Olivier, Guyader, Olivier, and Blanchard, Fabian
Abstract:: Recent work in the domain of fisheries ecology has shown that major changes are occurring in fish communities exploited by commercial fisheries. Selective fishing pressure on more highly valued components of fish communities, and its indirect effects via trophic interactions, are amongst the key factors proposed to explain these changes....

A Comparative Analysis of Recent Trends in the Characteristics of Selected European Fishing Fleets

Creator:: Thebaud, Olivier, Guyader, Olivier, Mardle, Simon, Hutton, Trevor, Le Floc'h, Pascal, Clapes, Juan Pintos, Prellezo, Raul, Steinmetz, Fabien, and Van Oostenbrugge, Hans
Abstract:: The objective of the paper is to briefly present a comparative analysis of trends in the characteristics of selected European fleets, observed over the last fifteen years, as an introduction to three empirical studies of the behavioural determinants of these trends. The analysis presented aims at (i) describing changes observed...

An Analysis of Changing Fishing Units Using Field Surveys: Case Studies from the EU

Creator:: Hutton, Trevor, Guyader, Olivier, Prellezo, Raul, Mardle, Simon, and Thebaud, Olivier
Abstract:: Three case studies were included in a study on fishing vessels, most of which use trawl gear in demersal fisheries. The case studies include the French Bay of Biscay bottom-trawlers, the English beam trawlers fishing in the English Channel, Celtic Sea and North Sea, and the Basque trawlers fishing in...

The triple bottom line: Meeting ecological, economic and social goals with Individual Transferable Quotas

Creator:: Doyen, Luc, Little, L. Rich, Pereau, Jean-Christophe, and Thébaud, Olivier
Abstract:: This paper deals with the sustainable management of a renewable resource based on individual and transferable quotas (ITQs) when agents differ in terms of harvesting costs or catchability. In a dynamic bio-economic model, we determine the conditions under which the manager of an ITQ system can achieve sustainability objectives which...

Evaluation of Management Strategies in Ningaloo Marine Park, Western Australia

Creator:: Little, Rich, Thébaud, Olivier, and Fulton, Beth
Abstract:: The spatial, multi-species nature of coral reef fisheries makes them notoriously difficult to manage. We have developed a simulation modeling approach to examine the effect of management options on the recreationally important tourist destination of Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia where a recreational fishery targets Spangled Emperor (Lethrinus nebulosus). The...

Ecosystem-Wide Impacts of Alternative Bycatch Reduction Strategies: An Ecological-Economic Assessment of the Australian Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery

Creator:: Hutton, Trevor, Thébaud, Olivier, Fulton, Beth, Pascoe, Sean, and Kulmala, Soile
Abstract:: A concern for the consequences of bycatch and discards in fisheries has led to the implementation of new policies and fisheries management plans aimed at their reduction in many fisheries around the world. Such plans have been developed for the Australian Commonwealth fisheries (the most recent bycatch action plan extends...

The Effect of Quota Trading Limitation in A Fishery Managed Through Individual Transferable Quotas

Creator:: Hamon, Katell G., Frusher, Stewart D., Little, L. Richard, and Thébaud, Olivier
Abstract:: Individual transferable quotas (ITQs) have been used in several countries worldwide to regulate access to marine fisheries. While ITQs can improve the economic efficiency of fisheries, in practice they are not a panacea and distribution and equity issues have been raised in many cases. To overcome those issues, ITQ systems...

Towards Behavioural Models of Fleet Dynamics

Creator:: Van Putten, Ingrid, Kulmala, Soile, Dowling, Natalie, Hamon, Katell G., Hutton, Trevor, Pascoe, Sean, and Thébaud, Olivier
Abstract:: Considerable attention has been applied to the development of models explaining how fish stocks change over space and time, from relatively simple stock-recruitment relationships to ecosystem models with a complex food web structure. However, in many case studies fishing effort is assumed to be exogenous and even in dynamic models...

Implications of bycatch reduction strategies for the economic viability of mixed fisheries

Creator:: Martinet, Vincent and Thebaud, Olivier
Abstract:: There is growing recognition worldwide that the impacts of fishing on non-targeted components of marine ecosystems should be included in the assessment of fisheries sustainability. This leads to the inclusion of new constraints in evaluations of the long-term bio-economic performance of fisheries. In this paper, we analyze the implications of...

Achieving sustainable fisheries: gradually or abruptly?

Creator:: Martinet, Vincent and Thebaud, Olivier
Abstract:: A key issue in fisheries restoration is the speed at which recovery can occur, while still meeting the economic and social constraints which managers must deal with. This paper uses the viable control approach to examine fisheries restoration and study the tradeoffs involved with the selection of recovery strategies. We...
