Traditional extensive coastal and semi-intensive aquaculture systems in Southern Europe are facing difficulties, especially due to increased competition for coastal areas uses and market competition, due to low-price products from intensive aquaculture. The positive effects of extensive and semi-intensive aquaculture in coastal areas - including environmental protection and restoration in...
This paper studies the potential for cooperation in shared fisheries when the countries in the coalition act in a Stackelberg fashion with respect to the remaining singletons. An increase in the cooperation level is a social welfare improvement, leading to an increase in both the steady-state fish stock and total...
Bycatch of non-targeted species in marine fisheries has become a major policy issue in fisheries management over recent years. One approach to curbing the bycatch problem is the voluntary sharing of detailed spatiotemporal information between vessels as an aide in individual bycatch avoidance as well as a tool to lower...
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...
