Fisher behavior can be divided into choices made in the short term (i.e. tactics) and choices made in the long-mid term (i.e. strategies). Random utility modeling (RUM) is well suited for the empirical analysis of these issues. In this paper, RUM is applied to a number of EU fisheries in...
The consumption of catfish in Vietnam has not grown enough to match their increased production. The objective of this study is to explore the factors that influence the decision process of catfish consumers in Vietnam. The findings provide information for the Vietnamese catfish industry to better attract more domestic consumers...
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is mandated by law to analyze the benefits, costs, and economic impacts of the recreational fisheries policies it promulgates. NMFS has developed single species models that predict welfare and effort changes stemming from changes in various recreational regulations. Little is known, however, about angler...
A key element in evaluating fishery management strategies is to examine their effects on the economic performance of fishery participants, yet nearly all empirical studies of fisheries focus on fishing as opposed to processing. However, the economic benefits derived from fish stocks are largely determined by the revenue generated from...
A behavioral study on the entry, stay and exit decisions of the fishers in Hawaii's longline fishery was undertaken in a random utility framework by applying the multinomial logit (unordered) model. Pooled annual cross-sectional and time-series (1991-98) data were used. The empirical results confirm that the entry, stay, and exit...
After decades of decline, real salmon prices paid to California fishermen have rebounded in the past few years. This recent price recovery is probably due in part to reduced availability of fresh salmon in local
markets, but anecdotal evidence suggests increased product differentiation by consumers is also an important part...
The shrimp fishery accounts for more than one-half of the total revenues generated by commercial fishing activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Due to its historical open access nature the harvesting sector has historically been overcapitalized (from an economic perspective) resulting in a suboptimal generation of rents. Various management...
Main research question: How is seafood consumption influenced by overweight and health beliefs in a region of traditional high-level fish consumption? Materials and methods: A randomly drawn sample of women aged 45-69 years who live in Northern Norway answered a self-administrated questionnaire about eating habits, socioeconomic factors and questions related...
