Marine aquaculture development is often constrained due to the difficulty in accommodating the industry within the evolving framework of coastal zone regulatory policy. One contributing problem is the dearth of socioeconomic, environmental, and institutional knowledge. To address this issue, a...

Pollution control with positive externality from the government is incorporated in an endogenous growth model with “AK” production function. The result indicate that if consumption and abatement expenditure grows at a constant rate, pollution stock will have smaller growth rate. The growth...

Biological changes in Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) and corresponding production yields were used to model a vertically integrated fishery from harvest through processing. The seasonal bioeconomic programming model incorporated stock dynamics with the interactive economic effects of...

Fish surimi is an intermediate product. Using primary data from several U.S. and Japanese companies, hedonic analyses revealed the relative importance of species(pollock, whiting), grade, production date, production location (onshore, at-sea), and surimi quality characteristics. Results were...

Future harvests from commercial fish stocks are unlikely to increase substantially due to biological and regulatory constraints. Developing alternative sets of processed seafood products is one strategy for increasing welfare while managing the risks inherent in a variable and renewable natural...
