Creator:: Perruso, Larry and Larkin, Sherry
Abstract:: The harvest technology of several multispecies fisheries has been explained in the recent literature using dual-based models. These studies are useful for explaining rent dissipation, estimating input and output elasticities, as well as describing other aspects of fisherman behavior. Most of these analyses have assumed that inputs are fixed at...

Creator:: Harte, Michael, Larkin, Sherry, and Sylvia, Gilbert
Abstract:: Loligo gahi (Patagonian longfin squid) has been the target of a major trawl fishery in the waters around the Falkland Islands since the early 1980s. The catch of this short-lived species can fluctuate markedly due to variation in seasonal recruitment. Ex-vessel prices of loligo are also variable due to international...

Creator:: Larkin, Sherry and Degner, Robert
Abstract:: The saltwater aquarium hobby has increased dramatically in the last decade due to improvements in the technologies and knowledge needed to sustain mini-reef ecosystems. With this increased demand comes increased pressure on natural reef ecosystems that supply the vast majority of the live organisms for the commercial market. To combat...

Creator:: Wells, Thomas, Larkin, Sherry, and Swett, Robert
Abstract:: Waterways that are used for boating (both for recreation and commercial fishing) are increasingly being constrained out of concern for boater safety, the habitat and habitat-dependent stocks and wildlife. In Southwest Florida, a primary species of concern is the West Indian manatee, which is currently listed as an endangered species....

Creator:: Larkin, Sherry and Adams, Charles
Abstract:: Environmental events such as tropical storms, hurricanes, and harmful algal blooms (HABs) have the potential to disrupt the commercial production and supply of certain marine species. In Florida, the red-pigmented dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (a particular type of naturally occurring HAB) has contaminated molluscan shellfish beds resulting in periodic fishery closures....

Creator:: Adams, Chuck, Larkin, Sherry, and Cruz, Raul
Abstract:: Spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) and related species represent one of the most important commercial fisheries targeted within the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean regions. This important fishery extends from Florida (USA) to Brazil. The longlived, pelagic larval stage within the life cycle of spiny lobster reveal this species to be...

Creator:: Larkin, Sherry and Adams, Charles
Abstract:: Fishing activities within the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) are restricted to small-scale levels by national law. The fishing sector has relied on just two fisheries, sea cucumber and spiny lobster, and a strong Asian export market. Despite a series of input and output controls and a co-management scheme, stocks have...

Creator:: Larkin, Sherry, Harte, Michael, Quigley, Kate, and Sylvia, Gil
Abstract:: The role of discounting in determining the optimal harvest of natural resources has been extensively debated in the economic and natural resources literature. Differing approaches to discounting to address sustainability and intergenerational equity issues have the potential to significantly affect the allocation of resources between harvesting and conservation for this...
