  • Evaluating the Impact of Rights-Based Fisheries Management: Evidence from the New England Groundfish Fishery

    Creator:
    Huang, Ling, Ray, Subhash, Segerson, Kathleen, and Walden, John
    Abstract:
    Cooperatives in the Rights-based Fisheries Management have the potential to overcome some of the limitations of Individual Transferrable Quotas. The New England groundfish sector management, a new regime under which fishermen can voluntarily form sectors with each sector constrained by a total allowable catch or Annual Catch Entitlement (ACE), is...

  • Bioeconomic Modelling of the Namibian Rock Lobster

    Creator:
    Steenkamp, Z. D.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is aimed at developing a simple bioeconomic model of the Namibian rock lobster fishery, with the main objective being to incorporate economics into fisheries management in order to estimate the potential economic benefits that could accrue to the fishery given efficient management. The complex nature...

  • The Economic Cost of Ignoring Fishery Induced Evolution

    Creator:
    Faig, Amanda D.
    Abstract:
    Ecologists warn that the rapid evolution occurring as a result of high-intensity commercial fishing could have potentially disastrous economic and ecological effects. The evolution of economically relevant life-history traits in fish, which can occur due to the harvesting pressure from commercial fisheries, can irreversibly diminish fisheries yields and ecological services....

  • Can Government Financial Transfers Ever Lead to Responsible Fishing? A (New) Trade Theory Parable

    Creator:
    Wilson, James R.
    Abstract:
    Recent literature on trade in fisheries products and in factors of production for fishing can be used to ask when it might be welfare increasing to encourage government financial transfers (GFTs) in the fisheries. Using numerical techniques and assuming a small open one factor 2 good economy with production inefficiencies...

  • Using evolutionary economics to explain predator-prey anomalies in the fisheries or explaining micky mouse's ears

    Creator:
    Wilson, James R.
    Abstract:
    The development of several sub-fields of general economics, including those of bounded rationality, institutional economics and the evolutionary economics, has expanded the scope and intensity of the dialogue both within economics, as well as between economists and other scientists. One of the more important preoccupations of early evolutionary economics was...

  • Community-based and Adaptive Coastal Resources Management in Nasidman Island, Iloilo, Philippines

    Creator:
    Fernandez, Pepito R.
    Abstract:
    This paper explains and analyzes the forces that sustain and inhibit a community-based coastal resource management (CBCRM) system in Nasidman Island, Iloilo Province, Philippines. Field work for this study was conducted periodically from 2000 to 2002 using qualitative research techniques. The paper reveals that wider international and national socio-political, economic...

  • Instutionalization of Coastal Area and Fisheries Co-Management in Western Visayas, Philippines

    Creator:
    Fernandez, Pepito R.
    Abstract:
    The paper examines fisheries co-management arrangements in enhancing organizational resilience and social equity at the municipal and city level in Western Visayas, Philippines in the 1992-1998 and the post-1998 periods. Field visits and interviews, conducted intermittently from April 2001 to March 2002, reveal that a perceived deterioration and degradation of...

  • Retrospective Economic Analysis of Fraser River Sockeye Salmon Fishery Management

    Creator:
    Marsden, A. Dale, Sumaila, U. Rashid, and Martell, Steven J. D.
    Abstract:
    Many Fraser River sockeye salmon stocks show large cycles in abundance from year to year, but the causes of these cycles are not clear. As a result, these stocks have historically been managed under the hypothesis of cyclic dominance, i.e., maintaining the cyclic behaviour of the stocks. Biological studies and...

  • Are Catfish Inspections an Administrative Trade Barrier to Imported Fish?

    Creator:
    Davidson, Kelly and Kropp, Jaclyn D.
    Abstract:
    The Agricultural Act of 2014 (Public Law 113-79) amended legislation regarding the U.S. catfish inspection program to include “all fish of the order Siluriformes,” encompassing imported species: basa, tra, and pangasius. Furthermore, the amendment finalized the transition of catfish and catfish-like product inspection responsibilities to the USDA Food Safety and...

  • Estimating a Generalized Gordon-Schaefer Model with Heterogeneous Fishing Data

    Creator:
    Zhang, Junjie and Smith, Martin D.
    Abstract:
    This paper proposes a two-stage method to estimate a generalized Gordon-Schaefer model, using heterogeneous fishing data in the logbook. A Cobb-Douglas production function is consistently estimated in the first stage by means of the ‘within period estimator’. A stock index is constructed and used to estimate the logistic growth model...
