Abstract
  • This paper studies the economic consequences of the invasion of a coastal fishery (Bay of Brest) by an exotic species (Crepidula fornicata) which was accidentally imported some decades ago. This species is a space competitor for the main targeted species of the fishery (Pecten maximus), and its development is a threat to the sustainability of the restocking program which is operated in the bay. Facing this situation, the local fishers organization has elaborated a project intending to make the restocking program consistent with the presence of the invasive species in the fishery. The paper presents a model dealing with the social cost of the invasive process, and a methodology for a cost-benefit analysis of the fishers project. Based on provisional data, a numerical simulation is proposed as an illustration, and sensitivity tests concerning both biological and economic exogenous variables are presented.
