Abstract
  • Fisheries management is characterised by multiple objectives. However, seldomly do bioeconomic models incorporate more than one or possibly two key objectives, typically profit and employment, into an analysis. There are both practical and technical reasons for this. This study considers the incorporation of eight key objectives into a bioeconomic analysis of the fisheries of the English Channel. These objectives include profit, fisher employment, regional employment from fishing, safety issues, sustainability of commercial stocks, bycatch, allocation issues between fishers and relative stability between countries. In surveys that targeted the principal interest groups in the fisheries in both the UK and France, preferences have been developed using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to indicate an importance between objectives. These preferences have then been used in an encompassing goal programming based bioeconomic model of the fisheries which may be used to evaluate and analyse the structure of the English Channel fisheries relative to a variety of opinion.
