Why did I write a novel? Fisheries operate in complex adaptive systems. A novel can better illustrate the dominant role of system complexity in sector governance. A book may last longer than a paper. I like writing a story, even if it is an illusion within reality.
This paper identifies the effect of Mauritian regulation changes on EU industrial vessels’ fishing activities and their implications for food security. The rich resources of Mauritanian waters have historically been utilized by large foreign trawlers, creating small ripple effects and jobs in Mauritania. However, in 2012, Mauritanian authorities introduced new...
Low-value fish/ fishery by-products are potential economic resources for developing animal feeds. Accordingly, fish protein hydrolyzed technology is an excellent way to provide protein sources for animal nutrition. However, the nutritional quality and applying this new feed supplement are severely related to the production stages and next characteristics of agricultural...
Myctophid/lanternfish is one of the major fish stocks in the Oman Sea. The commercial utilization of lanternfish in the Persian side of the Oman Sea began in 2007.

Iceland adopted an ITQ system for all of its fisheries more than three decades ago. The system has worked well in increasing the economic performance of the fisheries and, at least seemingly, the enforcement of the TACs. The Fisheries Directorate (FD) is aware of the potential problem of discards and...
Over recent decades, the EU aquaculture sector has been implementing actions towards the minimization of waste as a strategy for increasing the circular attributes of the management system. In this context, it is relevant to develop methodologies to quantify and assess the circularity that will ultimately be achieved by new...
Artificial reefs (AR) were created not only to protect sea bottoms (Lee et al., 2018) and enhance biodiversity namely by stimulating the enhancement of fish stocks (Pioch et al., 2020), but also to attract diving tourism (Shani et al., 2012) or sport fishing enthusiasts (Radonski et al., 2018). In order...
In this paper, we analyze how public monitoring and enforcement (M\&E) efforts affect the success of a collective property right. We develop a bioeconomic model to generate several theoretical predictions, which we test empirically by assembling and analyzing novel data on public patrolling and fishing activity in the Chilean abalone...
Artificial reefs (AR) were created not only to enhance biodiversity (namely by stimulating the increase of fish stocks), but also to attract diving tourism or sport fishing enthusiasts. Industry 4.0 tools – e.g., mobile technologies and cloud computing – can be used for AR monitoring purposes and can serve as...
Policy makers must ensure that regulatory frameworks contribute to the maintenance of resilient marine ecosystems. Recreational fishers add additional pressure on worldwide fish stocks to that exerted by commercial fishing, especially in coastal areas. Fishing tourism have an increasingly stronger presence in areas with growing numbers of permanent residents. Marine...
There is no doubt that policy makers must ensure that the different regulation frameworks contribute to the maintenance of resilient ecosystems that sustain healthy resources for commercial fishers, contributing to the economies that depend on their activity and supply markets with healthy products. However, marine recreational fishing also contributes significantly...

In the past two decades resource economists have made great headway in understanding spatial-dynamic processes in resource exploitation and management. However, despite this progress, there remain large gaps in understanding the spatialdynamics of recreational resources. Here we first develop a general bioeconomic model of a renewable recreational resource use, under...
Local users may invest in managing common pool resources, thereby promoting social and ecological resilience. Institutional or economic limits on access are regarded as essential preconditions for incentivizing local investments, but we show here that investment incentives can exist even under open access. We modeled a recreational harvest fishery in...
Diversification of fishery revenue can reduce interannual variation in revenue and thereby lower financial risk (e.g., Kasperski and Holland, 2013; Cline, Schindler, and Hilborn, 2017; Sethi, Reimer and Knapp 2014; Anderson, Ward and Shelton 2017), Average fishery diversification levels on the US West Coast have been declining over time –...
Study Objectives: IPHC socioeconomic study was a direct response to the Commission’s “desire for more comprehensive economic information to support the overall management of the Pacific halibut resource in fulfillment of its mandate”, Commission’s objective is to develop stocks of Pacific halibut that permit “optimum yield from the fishery and...
In the absence of formal insurance, fishers often ”self-insure” against financial risk due to environmental and economic factors by adjusting fishing activities over species, space, and time. This diversification can be effective (e.g., Kasperski and Holland, 2013; Cline, Schindler, and Hilborn, 2017; Sethi, Dalton, and Hilborn, 2012; Fuller et al.,...
The Cíes Islands show an extremely rich biodiversity, making them the core element of Galicia’s Atlantic Islands, and are an extremely attractive area for the development of small-scale fishing, as well as for tourism and recreational activities, which could constitute a priori a potential risk insofar as maintaining the natural...
Introduction:
SSFs → Own characteristics that often affect prices. First‐sale prices are key for the sustainability of SSF,often price‐acceptors → influence of supra‐local factors (exports, imports, value‐chain forces) and industrial fisheries. Certain local/regional SSF management measures also aim to have effects on this price: fisheries regulation, commercial strategies, labelling, etc....
Context and objective: Beyond leisure and food (sea ES) → MRF boosts maritime economies, but not a formal industry in our economic accounts. EU DCF → increasing focus on MRF, to be considered in commercial fisheries management decisions (CFP). Limitations of traditional approaches (aggregated expenditures,non‐market microeconomics) to assess MRF economic...
Marine recreational fishing (MRF) is a leisure activity and a cultural ecosystem service that, beyond the welfare obtained by its practitioners, has an interesting potential to boost maritime economies. However, it does not represent a formal sector on the national accounts and, in Europe, it lacks a systematic and common...
First-sale prices of fish respond to both local and global drivers, and artisanal fishermen are often considered as price-acceptors due to their limited capacity to influence them, a key issue for their survival and value added creation. However, in artisanal fisheries, the frequent lack of data hinders us from understanding...
