Pattern-oriented modeling (POM) strategy has been successfully applied to
build, calibrate and validate agent-based models (ABM) in ecology. Instead
of the traditonal modeling strategy that often requires comparison of the
magnitude of model outputs to a selected set of observed responses, POM
focuses on the ability of the model to...
The objective of this research is twofold. First, this study uses a
cointegration model to investigate possible potential long-run pricing
relationships among the major landings of the Hawaii tuna longline fishery
(bigeye, yellowfin, skipjack, and albacore tuna). This analysis will
determine to what extent changes in the price of one...
Vessel disasters (e.g., vessels capsizing, sinking, grounding, burning) are the leading contributor to occupational fatalities in the U.S. commercial fishing industry. Vessel disasters are a vital area to target prevention efforts, yet it has been suggested that results produced in scientific studies are not efficiently exchanged between researchers, regulatory bodies...
