  • Biodiversity Conservation in a Game Theoretic Model of a Fishery

    Creator:
    Sumaila, Ussif Rashid
    Abstract:
    This paper proposes a game theoretic modeling framework for the assessment of the trade-off between economic efficiency gains and biodiversity conservation in a fishery. It introduces a biodiversity index, and develops an application of the method couched on Namibian hake fisheries. Results from the illustrative example show that the opportunity...

  • Skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tuna allocation within a game theoretic framework

    Creator:
    Bailey, Megan and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    Collaborative management is essential in fisheries with multiple users, where different fishing groups compete to exploit a shared stock, often using unsustainable practices. This is the case in the Coral Triangle, an ecosystem increasingly coveted by conservation organizations for its high biodiversity, and heavily exploited by fishing groups from the...

  • Estimating pollution abatement costs of salmon aquaculture

    Creator:
    Liu, Yajie, Sumaila, Rashid, and Gulati, Sumeet
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Economics of Joint Management of the Resources of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem

    Creator:
    Sumaila, Ussif Rashid, Munro, Gordon, and Keith, Heather
    Abstract:
    This paper is drawn from a project report that was sponsored by the United Nations through the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem Programme. We analyze the economics of fishery management in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME), reviewing the case for and against regional co-operation in managing the BCLME....

  • Estimating Costs of Sea Lice from Salmon Aquaculture on Wild Salmon Fisheries

    Creator:
    Liu, Yajie, Volpe, John, and Sumaila, Ussif Rashid
    Abstract:
    Sea lice are natural parasites, and are spread between wild salmon stocks and farmed salmon. Studies indicate that sea lice from salmon farms not only cause economic losses to salmon aquaculture producers, but also affect other marine resources. Currently one of the most controversial debates over sea lice from salmon...

  • Current and Potential Economic Rent in the Namibian Hake Fishery

    Creator:
    Marsden, A. Dale and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    We estimated the economic rent obtained currently (that is, in 2002) in the Namibian hake fishery and the rent that might potentially be obtainable if the fishery were managed optimally in the sense of economics. We first reviewed previous economic and biological studies. We then used the theory and model...

  • Limits to the privatization of fishery resources

    Creator:
    Clark, Colin, Munro, Gordon, and Sumaila, U. Rashid
    Abstract:
    A debate is emerging over the extent to which privatization of fishery resources – private ownership and resource management without significant state oversight- is practical and socially desirable. What we term the “optimists” maintain that there are no effective limits to privatization and that the decades old fear that privatization...

  • Global Ex-Vessel Fish Price Database: Construction and Applications

    Creator:
    Sumaila, Ussif Rashid, Marsden, A. Dale, Watson, Reg, and Pauly, Daniel
    Abstract:
    We describe the first effort at creating a global ex-vessel fish price database. We then demonstrate potential applications of the database by linking it to the Sea Around Us project's spatially defined catch database, which makes it possible to attach catch values to species both in time and space. There...
