Atlantic salmon aquaculture is a growing industry in the Bay of Fundy on Canada’s Atlantic coast. The vast majority of aquaculture sites are concentrated in a relatively small coastal region of the province of New Brunswick (NB) where the industry is viewed as a major component of regional economic development....
Salmon aquaculture generates good output (i.e. salmon) and bad output (e.g., pollution). A joint production function approach is applied to model both outputs simultaneously. Two environmental production
technologies are proposed, namely, regulated and unregulated technologies. Two production function models with different mapping rules in the analysis are used. Pollution abatement...
Though long a standard technique in engineering and medical research, duration or survival analysis has
become common in economics only in recent decades, and in fisheries economics we are aware of only
one previous study. In this paper, we demonstrate the usefulness of duration analysis to understanding
fleet dynamics, specifically...
Despite potential advantages of rights-based management over competitive fisheries, there has been significant political resistance to rights-based management from many fishermen, which has slowed the
adoption of rights-based management. This paper explores the concept of voluntary transitions to rights-based
management, under which fishermen may choose between an allocated fishery (with...
Lint Slough is a small “finger” of the Alsea River estuary located in Waldport, Oregon, which drains a 4.5 square mile basin. Infrastructure associated with a former fish research facility has recently been removed and the slough is being transformed back to its natural condition.

An understanding of the structure of price volatility is of great interest since this is a major contributor to economic risk in the salmon industry. The volatility process in salmon prices was analyzed based on weekly price data from 1995 to 2007. The Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model was...
In industries that are characterized by frequent innovations and high productivity growth, substantial variation in both produced quantity and input use may occur and lead to increased cost. As both excessive input use and misallocation of inputs are costly for the producer, firm-specific measures of both technical and allocative inefficiency...
Oregon Revised Statute 541.409, which created the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST), specifies that agencies are to respond to the recommendations of the IMST, stating “(3) If the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team submits suggestions to an agency responsible for implementing a portion of the Oregon Plan [for Salmon and Watersheds],...
