Assessing the Effectiveness of a Voluntary Bycatch Avoidance Program: Sea State

Creator:: Abbott, Josh and Wilen, James
Abstract:: Bycatch of non-targeted species in marine fisheries has become a major policy issue in fisheries management over recent years.

Positioning Fisheries in a Changing World

Creator:: Williams, Meryl, Ridgeway, Lori, Grafton, Quentin, and Squires, Dale
Abstract:: Society has agreed on the goal of sustainable fisheries but achieving the goal is often submerged by more immediate national and international demands causing fisheries to slip down the political agenda or diverting attention to other fisheries issues, e.g., profitability under high fuel prices. Among the problems challenging marine capture...

Norway and Fisheries Globalisation: Challenges and Policy Priorities

Creator:: Vartdal, Kjersti and Johansen, Sverre
Abstract:: Norway is probably among the most obvious beneficiaries of globalisation, mainly because of the rich natural resources, skilled labour, advanced technology products and strong institutions.

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...

Fishing Revenue, Productivity and Product Choice in the Alaska Pollock Fishery

Creator:: Paul, Catherine Morrison, Felthoven, Ronald, and Torres, Marcelo
Abstract:: A key element in evaluating fishery management strategies is to examine their effects on the economic performance of fishery participants, yet nearly all empirical studies of fisheries focus on fishing as opposed to processing. However, the economic benefits derived from fish stocks are largely determined by the revenue generated from...

Can Catch Shares Prevent Fisheries Collapse?

Creator:: Costello, Chris, Gaines, Steve, and Lynham, John
Abstract:: Recent reports of fishery collapse paint a gloomy picture of the ocean's future; perhaps 100% of fisheries from the world's large marine ecosystems (LMEs) will be collapsed in just 40 years. While poor fisheries governance is now widely regarded as the cause, bioeconomic theory and anecdotal evidence suggest that rights-based...

Global Drivers and their Implications for Developing Country Fisheries

Creator:: Hall, Stephen and Allison, Edward
Abstract:: Developing country fisheries serve many functions, from feeding the poor, sustaining local communities and providing employment to generating export earnings. Yet, despite their importance, most countries have largely failed to ensure sustainable fishery systems and livelihoods for the millions of people dependent on them. Classically, management has concentrated on the...

Capacity Measurement and Policy Simulation of Fishery Industry in Japan

Creator:: Managi, Shunsuke
Abstract:: The expansion of fishing capacity is one of the most pressing problems facing many fisheries around the world. Excess capacity arises when a high number of vessels enter the fishery, and these vessels are employed to exploit the available fish stocks beyond a target level of yield. The lack or...

Location Choice Behavior Modeling of Shrimp Fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico

Creator:: Ran, Tao, Keithly, Walter R., and Kazmierczak, Richard F.
Abstract:: The shrimp fishery accounts for more than one-half of the total revenues generated by commercial fishing activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Due to its historical open access nature the harvesting sector has historically been overcapitalized (from an economic perspective) resulting in a suboptimal generation of rents. Various management...

Exploring Wellbeing in Fisheries - A New Insight on Poverty and Sustainable Fisheries Research and Policy

Creator:: Coulthard, Sarah, Johnson, Derek, and McGregor, Allister
Abstract:: At first, a paper which explores "wellbeing" in fisheries might seem misplaced. Our attention is more often focused on the poverty with which fisheries are so inherently associated and the threat of growing poverty as fishers, worldwide, face depleted fish stocks and a rapidly changing coastal environment. As this panel,...
