We present a positive mathematical programming model (PMP) for Hawaii's longline fishing fleet with the aim of examining the outcome of specific fishery policies. This model expands an earlier model which developed a generalized adaptation of the PMP framework to study fisheries. The current model provides managers with a realistic...

The presentation discusses cost data collection methods and use in support of commercial fisheries management in the Pacific Islands Region, United States. Traditionally, economic information on Pacific Island fisheries was limited primarily to the dockside value of landed fish. Data on fishing expenses were obtained intermittently, through episodic surveys conducted...
This study analyzes the main factors that affected seasonal variation of fresh tuna price through a statistical approach. The study concludes that seasonal variation in the volume of landings by Hawaii-based vessels is the predominant factor affecting seasonal variation in price for most of the tuna, but that price variation...
Pattern-oriented modeling (POM) strategy has been successfully applied to
build, calibrate and validate agent-based models (ABM) in ecology. Instead
of the traditonal modeling strategy that often requires comparison of the
magnitude of model outputs to a selected set of observed responses, POM
focuses on the ability of the model to...
The objective of this research is twofold. First, this study uses a
cointegration model to investigate possible potential long-run pricing
relationships among the major landings of the Hawaii tuna longline fishery
(bigeye, yellowfin, skipjack, and albacore tuna). This analysis will
determine to what extent changes in the price of one...
More than half of the worlds annual marine fish catch are landed by small
scale fisheries. However, most small-scale fisheries have not been routinely
or comprehensively managed. Understanding the social and economic
characteristics of small scale fisheries is the first step towards enhancing
their management and governance. To this end,...
