  • The death rattle of open access and the advent of property rights regimes in fisheries

    Creator:
    Christy, Francis T.
    Abstract:
    In considering fisheries regulation in the next decade, I make a concluding point that may become a major theme. This is that individual permanent catch quotas of a regulator-determined TAC are only a stage in the development of management from licensing to private rights (Scott 1989). The condition of open...

  • Do conventional prescriptions of the rights-based fishing literature pose legal and political impediments to policy change?

    Creator:
    Matulich, Scott C. and Macdonald, Jim
    Abstract:
    A serious impediment blocks advancement of individual transferable quota (ITQ) policy in the United States, particularly in North Pacific fisheries being considered for ITQ management. The traditional ITQ design, that allocates rights to only the harvesting sector, unintentionally expropriates wealth/property interests from the co-dependent-processing sector. This regulatory expropriation is a...

  • An Efficient and Distributionally Neutral IFQ Design

    Creator:
    Zhang, Xingguo, Matulich, Scott C., and Inaba, Fred
    Abstract:
    A two-stage, distributionally neutral and efficient rationalization policy design—one that preserves the ex ante wealth distribution—is developed by blending elements of a cooperative and a partnership. It is formally proven that there is no impediment to win-win rationalization using only IFQs allocated only to harvesters. The design creates a bilateral...

  • Avoiding One Fishermen - A Case of Namibia

    Creator:
    Nashandi, Wilbard
    Abstract:
    The open access nature of fisheries resources had caused application of excessive fishing effort to most World fisheries. Proper management of fisheries resources is vital for sustainability and its safe future utilisation. Most attempts to salvage fisheries resources had so far succeeded but have also created one or more problems....

  • The changing market position of farmed salmon in the UK : is salmon losing its luxury image?

    Creator:
    Clay, Patty L. and Revell, Brian J.
    Abstract:
    The United Kingdom is the world's second largest producer of farmed Atlantic salmon. It also represents one of the larger markets for the product. During the 1980s, there was rapid growth in the industry stimulated by high market prices and major technological advances. While there was a substantial increase in...

  • Whom Should the Rent Accrue

    Creator:
    Matthiasson, Thorolfur
    Abstract:
    Resource rentals can be viewed as taxes on scarcity rents or as fees for access to use or utilize the resource. The Icelandic Fishery Management Act requires that vessel owners pay a Catch fee (Veiðigjald). This paper discusses how the Catch fee is defined by the Fishery Management Act. Secondly...

  • An Empirical Study of Common Property Fishery Resource: The Case of the Western-Central Pacific Ocean

    Creator:
    Naito, Toyokazu
    Abstract:
    A dynamic game model is used to predict the strategic behavior of harvesters engaged in a non-cooperative fishery on a common property resource. The model predicts that an increase in the current number of harvesters in a common property fishery will reduce both the equilibrium harvest level and the current...

    Abstract:
    This study reviews patterns of consumption and expenditure of fish at home at disaggregate level and analyzes demand for nine different fish species/species group. The analysis is based on the household consumption survey in inland provinces of Thailand conducted during 1998-1999. Result shows that the annual per capita fish consumption...

  • Virtual Populations: A New Arrow in The Quiver of Rights-Based Fishing

    Creator:
    Lee, Jungsam and Gates, John M.
    Abstract:
    Quota management systems (QMS) provide faith-based incentives for individual quota holders to conserve the resource voluntarily; quota holders expect the system to work and to be enforced and their expectations are usually realized despite imperfect incentives and significant enforcement burdens. Even with QMS there is never an individual incentive to...

  • Effects of Rights-Based Management on Processors' Supply: An Application to the Alaska Pollock Fishery

    Creator:
    Fell, Harrison
    Abstract:
    Economists have generated numerous studies analyzing how a move to rights-based fishery management from open-access management affects fish harvesters' behavior. Conversely, the impacts that such a change in management can have on fish processors has received relatively little attention. This paper presents a simple two-product processor supply model to show...
