Creator:: Lincoln, Jennifer and Knapp, Gunnar
Abstract:: Background: Many studies have suggested that fisheries management may affect fishing safety. However, there has been relatively little systematic analysis of how fisheries management affects safety or the extent to which changes in management can make fishing safer or less safe. Methods: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United...

Creator:: Knapp, Gunnar
Abstract:: Fishermen regularly argue that processors should pay them more; processors argue they can't afford to pay more. Fisherman are often skeptical of processors' arguments about what processors can afford to pay, and whether ex-vessel prices are "fair." Fishermen often argue that a significant drop in the "fishermen's share" of the...

Abstract:: As world farmed salmon production has grown, so has the intensity of the debate over salmon farming. Critics have characterized salmon farming as environmentally, economically and socially unsound and irresponsible. This paper argues that underlying much of the salmon farming debate is a far broader debate over many of the...

Creator:: Anderson, James L., Anderson, Christopher M., Chu, Jingjie, Meredith, Jennifer, Asche, Frank, Sylvia, Gil, Smith, Martin D., Anggraeini, Dessy, Arthur, Robert, Guttormsen, Atle, McCluney, Jessica K., Ward, Tim, Akpalu, Wisdom, Eggert, Håkan, Flores, Jimely, Freeman, Matthew A., Holland, Daniel S., Knapp, Gunnar, Kobayashi, Mimako, Larkin, Sherry, MacLauchlin, Karl, Shnier, Kurt, Soboli, Mark, Tveteras, Sigbjorn, Uchida, Hirotsugu, and Valderrama, Diego
Abstract:: Pursuit of the triple bottom line of economic, community and ecological sustainability has increased the complexity of fishery management; fisheries assessments require new types of data and analysis to guide science-based policy in addition to traditional biological information and modeling. We introduce the Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs), a broadly applicable...

Creator:: Roheim, Cathy A., Knapp, Gunnar, and Anderson, James
Abstract:: Because of wild salmon's importance as a commercial fishery in North America, many questions and concerns have been raised around the issue of farmed versus wild salmon in recent years. Concerns have been related to the impact of the tremendous growth in farmed salmon production on the markets for wild...

Creator:: Knapp, Gunnar
Abstract:: This paper reports on an economic experiment conducted to examine the nature of rent dissipation in limited entry fisheries with aggregate quotas, and factors affecting fishermen's political support for changing to individual quota management. The experimental subjects are fishermen who participate in a series of fishing seasons. The experiment assumes...

Creator:: Knapp, Gunnar
Abstract:: Changes in ownership of limited entry permits by “local” residents of the region where a fishery occurs may have significant economic and social implications for fishery-dependent regions. This paper examines changes in local permit ownership in Alaska salmon fisheries, for which a long-term decline in rural local permit ownership is...

Creator:: Dunham, Gabe, Ainsworth, Joel, Murphy, Jim, and Knapp, Gunnar
Abstract:: Economists have devoted considerable attention to rent-dissipation in limited-entry fisheries as a result of excessive use of capital inputs, or "capital stuffing." We may refer to this mechanism of rent dissipation as "cost-driven rent dissipation." An alternative potential mechanism of rent dissipation, which we refer to as "value-driven rent dissipation,"...

Creator:: McIlgorm, Alistair, Hanna, Susan, Knapp, Gunnar, Le Floc'h, Pascal, and Pan, Minling
Abstract:: There is an increasing realisation that the earth’s marine environment is being adversely impacted by the production of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere. Climate change in the oceans and atmosphere will impact fisheries production and management and have implications for governance of fish stocks. Climate change may have substantial...
