  • Can Ecolabeling Reform Poorly Managed Fisheries? Evidence from the Pollock Market

    Creator:
    Roheim, Cathy
    Abstract:
    Since MSC certification of the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea pollock fisheries in the U.S., anecdotal evidence suggests that products from these fisheries have benefited in the marketplace relative to products from the Russian pollock fishery.

    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.

This important fishery extends from Florida (USA) to Brazil. The longlived, pelagic larval stage within the life cycle of spiny lobster reveal this species to be...
