In the present paper we study effect of information uncertainty on efficiency of multispecies fishery contracts, when private harvesting costs are uncertain. A static game between a principal and two fishing fleets is considered, when fishermen are completely selective about allocation of their harvesting efforts between the commercial and non-commercial...
The way of individual (fishing) quota is now widely recognized as a useful way for fishing resource management. However, even in the (internationally) shared resources, distributions of non-transferable fishing quota for each country should be justified, shouldn't be? The research considers the logistics "to begin with" in the theoretical international...
When a new market is created for ITQs, fishermen may have little information about the value of the newly-created assets that they hold. As such, concerns have been raised regarding distributional concerns associated with the transition to market-based management of natural resources. Aside from the first-order concerns regarding the initial...
Lake Nasser extends for more than 300 km inside Egypt`s border and has an extensive shoreline of around 7000 km. It is an important source of fish for residents of Aswan and adjacent governorates in Upper Egypt, representing 55% of the total production from inland lakes in Egypt in 2013....
We describe the dynamics by which competing harvesters selectively target prime market-sized fish, without internalizing the externality of increasing targeting costs, as the abundance of prime fish decreases. Due to the increasing targeting costs for prime size, harvesters continually target the next-most-desirable size fish, gradually fishing down the size structure...
This document provides a summary of a Special Session held at the IIFET 2016 Scotland conference in July 2016. The title of the special session was: Adapt, Improvise and Overcome: Fishermen’s Responses to the Landing Obligation. The report includes details of the proceedings of the session, including presenters and presentations...
The hypothalamic neuropeptide kisspeptin (Kiss-1) acts as a central component of the reproductive axis. A critical factor in pubertal progression and normal reproduction, this peptide is an afferent stimulator of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), and is responsive to gonadal steroids, integrating steroid hormone signals and modulating GnRH secretion accordingly. Kiss-1 exhibits...
As tail docking bans are sweeping Europe, Australia, and South Africa, the United States is facing increased scrutiny on whether or not the procedure should be permitted. Many European countries are reestablishing breed standards to allow dogs of natural composition to be shown, unlike most major U.S. shows. The American...
While student teaching at West Valley High (a pseudonym), I noticed that the teaching style my
students were used to didn’t seem to offer students many opportunities to engage with the
content and come to deep understandings. Mainly, the class seemed centered around lecture on a
topic and confirmatory activities....
