  • The economics of size selective harvesting - the case of Barents Sea cod fisheries

    Creator:
    Andreasson, Stefan and Flaaten, Ola
    Abstract:
    Gear technologists have, in recent years, developed rigid sorting grids, Sort-X, in bottom trawls, to improve the size selectivity of this type of gear. Experiments with the Sort-X system in the aft sections of trawls were carried out aboard Norwegian and Russian trawlers along the coast of Northern Norway and...

  • Seasonal dynamics of fishing gear on multigear coastal small-scaled fisheries in Pelabuhanratu bay, Indonesia

    Creator:
    Wiyono, Eko Sri, Yamada, Sakurtaro, Tanaka, Eiji, and Kitakado, Toshihide
    Abstract:
    Considering the operational needs on fisheries management, this research was aimed for understanding the adjustment processes of small-scaled fishing gear dynamic by measuring and analysing the seasonal fishing gear dynamic including seasonal fishing pattern and fishing gear interaction. To understand the fishermen's adaptation of their fishing effort from any changes...

  • The Economic Loss in Thai Fisheries

    Creator:
    Tokrisna, Ruangrai
    Abstract:
    Main fishing gear in Thailand was otter board trawls. More than 70% of the total Thai fishing vessels had been using this fishing gear, as well as push net which was restricted targeting for demersal resources. Due to the 2.5 cm fine mesh size, juvenile economic species had been caught...

  • Wind Farming vs Mobile Gear Fishing: is there room for a bargain?

    Creator:
    Wiersma, Joshua
    Abstract:
    A private power company, Cape Wind Inc., wants to develop the largest wind farm in United States history off the coast of Cape Cod Massachusetts in a twenty-five square mile area of Nantucket Sound known as Horseshoe Shoal (HSS). However, Cape Wind must compete for the use of this area...

  • Considerations for TAC Targets in a Single Gear, Multiple Species Fishery

    Creator:
    Nam, Jongoh, Ryu, Jeong-Gon, and Gates, John M.
    Abstract:
    This paper provides a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) assessment model for a single gear, multi-species fishery in South Korea. To estimate appropriate Allowable Biological Catch (ABC) of mackerel and jack mackerel caught by the large purse seine fleet in the territorial waters of South Korea, the model uses an extended...

    Henkel, Sarah K., Haxel, Joseph H., Schultz, Adam, and Hofford, Anna
    Abstract:
    The first wave energy test at the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center’s (NNMREC) North Energy Test Site (NETS) off the coast of Newport, OR took place in 2012 with the deployment of the WET-NZ wave energy conversion (WEC) device and the Ocean Sentinel instrumentation buoy. The WET-NZ and Ocean...

  • A Bioeconomic Model of Fishery-Habitat Impacts

    Creator:
    Kahui, Viktoria and Armstrong, Claire
    Abstract:
    A scientific knowledge gap exists with regard to how benthic habitat is affected by destructive fishing methods, such as bottom trawling, and how this impacts upon the productivity of commercial fish stocks. This article addresses analytically the effects of destructive fishing practices of a single gear fishery on a non-renewable...
