  • By-Catch Management in Itq Fisheries

    Creator:
    Wang, Jin and Sharp, Basil
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Are Fishers Better or Worse Off from a Swordfish Fishery Closure? -- An Endogenous Switching Model for the Hawaii-based Longline Fisheries

    Creator:
    Ming, Timothy
    Abstract:
    The swordfish fishery is one of Hawaii's most lucrative, and also most highly regulated, fisheries. According to the United Fishing Agency (UFA) fish auction data in 2005, average swordfish (shallow-set) revenue per trip was $76,897.03 and average tuna (deep-set) revenue per trip was $36,382.14. Swordfish trips, however, comprised of only...

    Creator:
    Kahui, Viktoria
    Abstract:
    With a value of NZ$ 85 million the seasonal squid fishery represents one of New Zealands main export earners. The majority of catch is taken by trawl from the Auckland Islands, 350 km south of New Zealand, which coincides with the main breeding and foraging range of the rare Hookers...

  • The Design of Hybrid individual incentive Mechanisms for Bycatch Reduction

    Creator:
    Haynie, Alan and Felthoven, Ron
    Abstract:
    After salmon bycatch levels reached record levels in 2006 and 2007 in the Bering Sea pollock fishery, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) began consideration of a hard cap that would close the fishery if it were reached. The NPFMC asked for input from economists at the National Marine...

  • Protecting Marine Mammals in the U.S: Tradeoffs Between Public and Private Costs

    Creator:
    Magnusson, Gisele and Bisack, Kathryn
    Abstract:
    Implementation of the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) generates costs to both the public and private sectors. While many of the costs are complementary, some result in potential tradeoffs between various groups incurring these costs. Under the MMPA, if estimated bycatch of a species exceeds its Potential Biological Removal...

  • Modelling Economic Effects of Fishery Regulations

    Creator:
    Galligan, Monica
    Abstract:
    Due in part to limitations in data and models, fishery managers have been hindered in their efforts to simultaneously address economic and ecological effects of management measures. In the US, this promotes violation of National Standard 8 of the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, which mandates that conservation...

  • Globalisation and Better Governance: Combating IUU fishing

    Creator:
    Spagnolli, Alberto
    Abstract:
    The European Union ranks third worldwide in terms of fishing power, with 5.7 million tonnes landed in 2006 and a fishing fleet active in every ocean. It is also the leading importer of fish (worth some ¬20 billion in 2006). That is why the European Commission considers that the European...
