In the early 1970s, the herring stocks in the Northeast Atlantic were nearly fished to extinction. This collapse is usually attributed to technological advances in the fishery, particularly the introduction of fish finding equipment and the power block. In this paper we investigate the empirical...

The paper assesses the possibilities for rent generation in the North Sea herring fishery. A bioeconomic model combining fish population dynamics with the economic structure of the fishery is used in rent calculations. The model combines biological data with vessel-level economic data for UK...

In the 1970s, the herring stocks in the Northeast Atlantic were nearly fished to extinction. This collapse is usually attributed to technological advances. We investigate the impact of technological shocks on herring stocks and the sensitivity of catch to stock size and technological shocks. We...
