The presentation discusses cost data collection methods and use in support of commercial fisheries management in the Pacific Islands Region, United States. Traditionally, economic information on Pacific Island fisheries was limited primarily to the dockside value of landed fish. Data on fishing expenses were obtained intermittently, through episodic surveys conducted...
More than half of the worlds annual marine fish catch are landed by small
scale fisheries. However, most small-scale fisheries have not been routinely
or comprehensively managed. Understanding the social and economic
characteristics of small scale fisheries is the first step towards enhancing
their management and governance. To this end,...
Like many global pelagic fisheries, the Hawaii-based longline fishery continues to face increased pressure to reduce the incidental catch of endangered sea turtles and/or other sensitive species. Aggregation and
movement of both sea turtles and fish are directly associated with climatic variations and oceanographic conditions. As a result, both targeted...
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...
This study analyzes the main factors that affected seasonal variation of fresh tuna price through a statistical approach. The study concludes that seasonal variation in the volume of landings by Hawaii-based vessels is the predominant factor affecting seasonal variation in price for most of the tuna, but that price variation...
This study couples landings, import data and other factors in a statistical framework to explore the determinants of bottomfish pricing in Hawai'i - in particular, for seven deep water species in the snapper
and grouper complex - using monthly data from 1996 to 2006. This research concludes that bottomfish pricing...
We present a positive mathematical programming model (PMP) for Hawaii's longline fishing fleet with the aim of examining the outcome of specific fishery policies. This model expands an earlier model which developed a generalized adaptation of the PMP framework to study fisheries. The current model provides managers with a realistic...
