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...

With a value of NZ$ 85 million the seasonal squid fishery represents one of
New Zealands main export earners. The majority of catch is taken by trawl

A rational agent exposed to a temporary increase (reduction) in wages will respond by increasing (reducing) working hours. However, empirically such behavior has been hard to confirm. Most income increases are not temporary; hence a substantial income...
