It is generally assumed that multi-species fleets operate in a generalist
fashion, given diversity of gears employed. An analysis of gears, species
and spatial fishing effort allocation can give an indication if those patters
are indeed common in these types of fleets. In this paper we examine the
fishing operations...
Influence of the Skipper Effect in fishing efficiency of a mixed fishing fleet, looking at a Mexican case study. Understanding the factors that define technical efficiency in a fleet is a requirement to define strategies to regulate the fishing pressure. In industrial and semi-industrial fleets more weight has been given...
Production data from the red grouper fishery, Mexico, were analyzed to determine the production function. Three different models were tested in cross-sectional data from the period 1988 to 2014. The data were collected from the logbooks provided by skippers. Number of fishermen (crew) per trip varied from 3 to 15,...
