The cod stock in the North Sea is threatened by overexploitation. To recover this fishing stock, pressure needs to be reduced. This implies that catch compositions with small amounts of cod are preferred by public policy makers. The present analysis assesses the technological efficiency of fishing trips, considering landings of...
In several countries, cost recovery and/or rent collection (CRRC) has become integral to fishery management. This paper will examine CRRC from three perspectives: neo-classical economic efficiency, equity, and public choice. Partial equilibrium economic efficiency arguments include incentives for industry to implement (or lobby for) efficient delivery of management services. On...

Salmon aquaculture generates good output (i.e. salmon) and bad output (e.g., pollution). A joint production function approach is applied to model both outputs simultaneously. Two environmental production
technologies are proposed, namely, regulated and unregulated technologies. Two production function models with different mapping rules in the analysis are used. Pollution abatement...
