This paper traces the rise and fall of, in its day, one of the most important fisheries in the world. The fishery exhibits the impact of changes in demand and supply brought about by technological advance in three noticeable shocks. Fishing is said to have commenced in 495AD. So prolific...

Early in 2002, members of two Producer Organisations (POs), the North Sea Fishermen’s
Organisation in Britain, and the Dutch Cooperative Producentenorganisatie Oost Nederland,
realised that their quotas of plaice and sole were insufficient to last until the end of the quota
period. Vessels have in the order of 70-80% of...
It is widely believed that there have been significant levels of cod landed from the North Sea over and
above permitted quota levels in recent years as the TAC and quota system of the Common Fisheries
Policy has squeezed the fishing opportunities of EU fleets in an attempt to conserve...
This paper discusses the connection between the concepts of fishing effort and separability of the
variables in a general fisheries production function of the Translog form. It compares the results
of the discussion with the Cobb-Douglas and Constant Elasticity of Substitution forms. It
concludes that to assume unconditionally that some...
The Irish Sea is a moderately discrete area with mixed fisheries targeting a fairly small number of relatively well researched but depleted fish stocks, including nephrops, cod, whiting, haddock, plaice and sole. Vessels from Belgium, England, France, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland participate. The degree of dependence of...
