As the various mechanisms of fisheries resources management have matured, fishermen increasingly have responded by devising and developing different forms of collective representation. Within the European Union (EU), Producer's organisation (POs) provide a voluntary organisational structure which has evolved since its inception in the 1970s. During the intervening period, POs...

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...
In 2004, United States (U.S.) shrimp landings comprised 11% of shrimp available to the domestic market. Asian and
South America shrimp imports to the U.S. began reaching record levels in 2001, following European Union tariffs
on Asian shrimp. The increased import supply resulted in drastic decline of ex-vessel and wholesale...
This is a report submitted as part of a collaborative project with 18 other institutions as part of a study convened by Ithaka S+R exploring agricultural science faculty's research behaviors.
Most fishermen are faced with several options in both long and short term planning of their activity. In this paper we study fishers short term decisions when different seasonal fishery options are available. This involves choices of spatial and temporal allocation of effort as well as use of varying fishing...
An economic survey of the commercial operators currently active in the Queensland Reef Line fishery has been carried out, as part of a research project aimed at evaluating options available to manage the fishery. We present the background analysis of the fishery used as a basis to develop the sampling...
