  • Growing the seafood sector: Technical change and innovation

    Creator:
    Sharp, Basil and Jeffs, Andrew
    Abstract:
    The scope for fishing firms operating in an output controlled fishery, with tradable rights, and facing world prices, to augment profit is limited inter alia to a search for alternative input configurations that lower harvesting costs. This paper provides evidence of technical change in the New Zealand rock lobster fishery....

  • BC-to-Alaska Transboundary Salmon: Conflict, Enhancement, Moral Hazard, Paper-Fish and Folly

    Creator:
    Wright, Christopher Stephen and Gould, Robert
    Abstract:
    Enhancement of British-Columbia-to-Alaska Transboundary Rivers is a vast potential prize to all concerned. However, despite funding commitments in the Pacific Salmon Treaty, that program is at great risk of always being more potential than real. The cooperation needed to make this program work has been and continues to be grievously...

  • Conflicts Between Recreational and Commercial Fishing in Lake Toya, Hokkaido, Japan

    Creator:
    Matsuishi, Takashi and Ueda, Hiroshi
    Abstract:
    Recently, the number of leisure fishers has increased in Japan. Recreational anglers have caught larger numbers of fishes than commercial fishermen in some species. Formulating an appropriate management strategy that considers recreational and commercial sectors is important. Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) has been caught in Lake Toya, Hokkaido, Japan, by...

  • Globalisation, Trade and International Fisheries Governance: A Review of Policy Tensions

    Creator:
    Kelling, Ingrid
    Abstract:
    Globalisation continues to impact the fisheries sector, aided by international governance frameworks in fisheries production and trade. Within these frameworks, tensions exist between trade facilitating measures and trade restricting measures. For example, UNCLOS extended Exclusive Economic Zones to 200 miles, resulting in a significant increase in volume and trade in...

  • Can Fisher Social Networks be used to Explain IFQ Trading?

    Creator:
    Ropicki, Andrew and Larkin, Sherry
    Abstract:
    Many of the tangible benefits of catch share programs (e.g., reducing overcapacity) are dependent on the trading of shares. Additional trading-related questions (such as whether landings will change port or be concentrated geographically) are also important to the overall evaluation of a fishery, but are often asked only during post-implementation...

  • Outlook for Fishmeal and Fish Oil Demand: The Role of Aquaculture

    Creator:
    Wada, Nikolas, Delgado, Christopher, and Tacon, Albert
    Abstract:
    The rapid growth of aquaculture and concomitant growth in the use of compound aquafeeds have resulted in aquaculture using 35% of global fishmeal and 54% of global fish oil in 2000, up from just 10% and 16% respectively in 1988. Meanwhile, landings of reduction fish have hovered near 30 mmt,...

  • Economic Evaluation of Fisheries Policies in Lamon Bay, Philippines

    Creator:
    Campos, Maria Rebecca, Pantoja, Blanquita, Manalili, Nerlita, and Bravo, Marideth
    Abstract:
    Lamon Bay is one of the most important fishing grounds in the Philippines. In spite of this, most fishermen in the area live in poverty, and their plight is getting worse, not better. Fish catch is declining by 13.5 % a year, more than double the decline experienced elsewhere in...

  • An Economic and Policy Assessment of Industry Funded Geoduck Enhancement in British Columbia

    Creator:
    James, Michelle
    Abstract:
    The geoduck fishery in British Columbia has been managed by individual quotas since 1989. Individual quotas have fostered a co-operative management approach in the fishery, which is implemented through a non-profit society with membership made up of licence holders in the fishery. This non-profit society, the Underwater Harvesters Association (UHA),...

  • Managing Catch Limits in Multi-Species, ITQ Fisheries

    Creator:
    Peacey, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    Management of individual species in a multi-species fishery poses a number of challenges for fishery management systems, including the problem of managing fish bycatch. Fish bycatch is sometimes identified as a particular problem associated with management systems based on individual transferable quotas (ITQs) but this has not always proven to...

  • Economic Results of the Australian National Recreational Fishing Survey

    Creator:
    Campbell, David
    Abstract:
    Recreational fishing is a compound activity that includes the expectancy and catching of fish. The Australian national recreational fishing survey provides catch and economic data for this activity for the 12 months May 2000 to April 2001. In addition to catch behavioral data, the survey provides economic data for that...
