  • A Bioeconomic Model of Fishery-Habitat Impacts

    Creator:
    Kahui, Viktoria and Armstrong, Claire
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Habitat-destructive fishing practices

    Creator:
    Mikkelsen, Eirik
    Abstract:
    A model for studying how destructive fishing practices may affect commercial fish stocks through their effect on habitat is presented. It may be used both for renewable habitat-types, like eelgrass (Zostra marina) or sponges, and also practically non-renewable habitats like corals. The model demonstrates the trade-offs between using destructive and...

  • Findings of Two Recent U.S. Reports on Excess Harvesting Capacity in Federally Managed Commercial Fisheries

    Creator:
    Terry, Joseph and Pan, Minling
    Abstract:
    NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recently completed two reports on excess harvesting capacity, National Assessment of Excess Harvesting Capacity in Federally Managed Commercial Fisheries and Excess Harvesting Capacity in U.S. Fisheries: A Report to Congress. This paper presents the definitions of harvesting capacity, excess capacity, and overcapacity used in...

  • Carbon Footprint of Commercial Fishing In the Northeast United States

    Creator:
    Kitts, Andrew, Schneider, Greg, and Lent, Rebecca
    Abstract:
    Environmental concerns about seafood consumption generally are associated with the status of target stocks as well as bycatch and/or habitat issues. The more recent concept of "food miles" hails from terrestrial food production, and focuses on "consuming locally" in an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of a consumer's diet....

  • Diversifying Artisanal Fishing Fleets in the Galapagos Marine Reserve

    Creator:
    Larkin, Sherry and Adams, Charles
    Abstract:
    Fishing activities within the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) are restricted to small-scale levels by national law. The fishing sector has relied on just two fisheries, sea cucumber and spiny lobster, and a strong Asian export market. Despite a series of input and output controls and a co-management scheme, stocks have...
