New Zealands quota management system is based on transferable
harvesting rights operating within regulated allowable harvest limits. The
system has evolved since its implementation in 1986. One particular
challenge has been the design of mechanisms to encourage the balancing of
catch against quota. A model is developed for a target...
The scope for fishing firms operating in an output controlled fishery, with tradable rights, and facing world prices, to augment profit is limited inter alia to a search for alternative input configurations that lower harvesting costs. This paper provides evidence of technical change in the New Zealand rock lobster fishery....
This paper discusses the potential application of implicit discount rates (IDR) derived from Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) trading data as indicators of fishery bio-economic health. The theoretical background is discussed, and in the context of one New Zealand ITQ fishery we analyze the behavior of IDR over ten years of...
The year 1990 saw the introduction of individual transferable quota rights to the NZ rock lobster fishery. This paper presents an analysis of the evolution of profitability in five different quota management areas over the period 1990-2001. The bio-economic model of an optimal fishery provides the basis for econometric analysis....
A wide range of fisheries are managed using vessel catch limits combined with different kinds of effort restrictions. This management framework is expected to have desirable consequences for the bioeconomic sustainability of fisheries. When appropriately implemented this approach produces outcomes that are similar to those associated with individual fishing quotas....
An experimental study is described in which time-average local heat
transfer coefficients were obtained for arrays of horizontal tubes immersed
in a hot fluidized bed. Spatial-averaged heat transfer coefficients, computed
from local values, are also reported. Refractory particles with surface
mean diameters of 2.14 mm and 3.23 mm were fluidized...
Malonaldehyde, a very reactive member of the homologous
series of dialdehydes, is associated with the autoxidative deterioration
of lipids. Its measurement, in autoxidized lipid systems is an
expression of the extent of oxidation, in lipids. Malonaldehyde lends
itself well to such determinations because of the sensitivity and
specificity of its...
Oregon has a growing artisan cheese industry and is developing a reputation as one of the country’s leading regions for many varieties of cheeses. This thesis is an exploration of four of Oregon’s premier artisan creameries. The primary research for this project included visiting the farms and cheesemakers, tasting the...
This is a set of documents and letters compromising a proposal by James McCauley to bring lobsters to the West Coast. The proposal involved the University of Rhode Island, the OSU Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, Oregon State University, and the Oregon Fish Commission. The letters are to several people,...
Hops contribute many desirable aromas to beer. Traditionally hop aromas have
been described by the point of addition in the brewing process (dry-hop, finish-hop, or
kettle-hop). The compounds present in the oil provide a wide range of aroma qualities.
Since the composition of the oil is different for each hop...
