Vibrio cholerae (Vc), the etiological agent of cholera, has developed many mechanisms to combat the great fluctuations in pH, ion content and osmotic conditions of the vastly differing environments it encounters through its infections of the human host. A series of cation antiporters are found in the Vc membrane to...
This paper is designed to “set the stage” for the Special Session on Game Theory and Fisheries. It traces the origins of the application of game theory to fisheries economics, noting that, for the first quarter of a century after the publication of H. Scott Gordon’s 1954 seminal article, the...
We investigate the effects of incorporating a fixed input on equilibrium profits and biomass. We first set up a theoretical model with an input that is fixed in the short-run (vessel size) but that can be used with a variable input at suboptimal capacity. We use this model to get predictions for...
The fish auction markets have proven important in the development of the Icelandic fish industry from the time of their establishment in Iceland in 1987, evening out short run catch variations, allowing for specialization and contributing to increased value creation in the value chain for fish and fish products. This...
The paper analyzes a situation in which the fishing fleet is subject to restrictive regulation regarding the harvest of its primal target species due to biological overfishing that in turn reveals a high level of overcapacity. The goal is to model fishermen’s expectations and likely responses to the government initiated...
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...
Toxicological studies show that oral doses of nickel can cause allergic contact dermatitis, and routes of exposure, such as nickel leached from stainless steel cookware are not well characterized. In this study, four variables: grade of stainless steel, cook time, stainless steel seasoning or cooking cycles, and commercial tomato sauces,...
As the Scottish enlightenment has taught us, it is vitally important to think for ourselves rather than believing what we are told. Here, we question the basic principles of fisheries managements. We ask if the hypothesis of capacity maximization - a race to boats - could be considered instead of...
Two of the primary issues of the next Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reform are maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and transferable fishing concessions (TFCs). The European Commission set the goal of achieving MSY for all European fisheries by 2015. Besides, the European Commission agreed on implementing TFCs under some major principles...
When making policy recommendations, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council balances community stability with efficiency in resource utilization. The Council is considering an action that, for part of the year, would effectively limit the harvest of Aleutian Islands Pacific cod to vessels that deliver to a shore plant in the...
Saltwater recreational fisheries receive little attention compared to their commercial counterparts. Yet recreational fisheries can suffer from many of the same symptoms of open access as commercial fisheries. Regulations designed to allocate a scarce supply, such as seasonal closures augmented with bag and size limits, can result in significant losses...
Economists have long been interested in empirically modelling/forecasting the price of staple commodities using both structural and reduced form models. The purpose of this paper is to apply Pesaran’s Autoregressive Distributed Lag/ Error-Correction Bounds model for forecasting the ex-vessel price of lobster on the east coast of Canada using monthly...
Yaquina Bay, Oregon, has been introduced to a few The invasive species in Yaquina Bay, Oregon can have a huge effect on the native species and local ecosystem. European green crab (Carcius maenas) is an invasive species. The European green crab can be found on the mudflats competing with the...
Presentation was for the 7th International Evidence Based Library and Information Practice conference held at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon July 15-18th, 2013.
European fisheries activities are subject to a hierarchy of regulatory authorities. This raises questions regarding the implications of strategic interaction between different authority levels concerning the regulation of these activities. We apply a bio-economic objective function where fishers and regulators have environmental, economic and social preferences, and where fishers are...
Consolidates existing knowledge on the political economy of property rights in natural resources and integrates lessons learned from developmental aid and fisheries and non-fishery case studies to provide a methodological approach for future case study work on fisheries reform. Objective: Link fisheries reform strategies with in-country political economy conditions.

While some theatre companies maintain their own in-house archives or have developed relationships with archival repositories, many still struggle to remain focused on the pressing challenges of finding funding, adequate rehearsal and office space, and just trying to get the next show open. In 2009, the American Theatre Archive Project...
In this presentation Fernández describes two collaborative, community projects, the Chinese Disinterment Documents collection online exhibit and the Oregon Tribal Archives Institute, and how these projects can serve as models to assist communities in documenting their histories.
In an effort to reduce suspended solids and organic carbon loading and to increase long-term groundwater recharge rates at Orange County Water District’s spreading basins, a pilot project was conducted to evaluate riverbed filtration as a technology to treat river water prior to groundwater recharge. A shallow under-channel lateral drain...
In a non-cooperative fishing game of two players, one single player must be sufficiently dominant in order to have an incentive to conserve the stock. Maximum growth rate of fish stocks could often be too low in order to provide a conservation incentive for a dominant player. The fish catch...
In May 2016, the NOAA Science Advisory Board, Ecosystem Services and Management Working Group, submitted a report to the NOAA Administrator entitled, An Assessment of the Use and Potential Use of Ecosystem Service Valuation (ESV) within NOAA: A Report from the NOAA Science Advisory Board”. While the report covers all...
While rights-based management is generally purported enhance economic efficiency in fisheries and reduce over-capitalization, the social and economic outcomes due to this regulatory regime are less comprehensively understood. Relatively recently, industrialized and export-oriented Latin American fisheries began adopting individual transferable quota (ITQ) regimes to recover collapsed fish stocks. While these...
In Norway, structuring of the fishing fleet has been an ongoing process since the start of the 1960'ies. Since then, both the number of vessels in Norwegian fisheries and fishers have been reduced by roughly 85 %. For decades, the fisheries industry has been considered a mean to employment and...
Pole-and-line and hand-line tuna fisheries, hereafter referred to as one-by-one fisheries are believed to provide large social benefits to fishing communities. Unlike industrial high seas fishing, large numbers of fishing vessels are involved - engaging many people from coastal communities. In the unique case of the Maldives, where fishing communities...
Stronger microeconomic foundations to dynamic renewable resource models lead to rethinking the commons problem. Specifications of technology consistent with microeconomics allow reinterpretating the market failure under open access for common resources, the dynamic economic optimum, and global commons issues in general. The market failure is broader and deeper than previously...
With the convergence of several economic, social, and environmental factors, dam removal has emerged as a feasible river management option. The Rogue River, located in southwest Oregon, is one of the few river basins in the United States to remove a number of large dams in quick succession. This paper...

A major revision of the CFP for the period 2013-2022 was the introduction of a landing obligation (LO) of all fish caught. Contrary to f. ex. Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands the EU has conducted a regime where it was forbidden to keep fish below a certain size on...
In late 18th century Britain, Adam Smith was the most influential thinker and writer to offer policy advice on fishery subsidies. In The Wealth of Nations, Smith scoffed at the so-called white herring bounties. He used data from 1771-1781 to argue that the bounties had raised the price of locally-caught...
Fishes are expected to interact with Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) projects in ways dependent upon both the nature of the project in question and on the ecology of the species considered (Figure 1). The siting of MRE projects will determine the habitat affected, the species expected to encounter the project,...
Discard rates in marine fisheries have been estimated at more than 80% for some individual fisheries, with an average global discard rate of 8%. Discarding of catch can be problematic for three main reasons: (1) in the absence of accurate and precise discards estimates, unreliable catch data distort estimation of...
With the economic globalization, the consumption demand of Chinese residents has changed gradually. The paper analyzes consumption tendency of Chinese residents from two aspects, those are per capital consumption level and consumption characteristics. On the one side, per capita ownership of fish and fishery products of China is above the...
To keep pace with growing demand, wild fisheries are subject to high pressure
since the mid-1970s. Meantime, aquaculture has been the fastest growing food
industry since 1970. It has become a substantial source of food and is
increasingly viewed as a solution to the lack of production of capture
fisheries....
Can government regulations and company concerns to reduce their reputational and business risk lead to an increase in traceability programs? Are the drivers of traceability attributed to concerns over seafood sustainability, food provenance, quality and safety, fraud, and IUU fishing? These questions suggest there is a change in incentives and...
Recreational fishing, also called sport fishing, is fishing for pleasure or competition. Recreational fishing can advance fisheries technology and benefits related industries.
