New Zealand is a world leader in the use of Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) to manage fisheries. Although the use of an ITQ system is not unique to New Zealand, no other country has used this system to the same extent as New Zealand. This has meant that, internationally, a lot of interest...

The management by means of taxes of a fishery in which the fishing technology of the fleets has different effects on resource is analysed in this paper. This effect can be included in the natural growth of the marine resource function itself. The results show that the tax equilibrium level...

We study the distributional and efficiency effects of marine protected areas using the Northeast Atlantic cod stock as an example. A model with two players targeting different age groups of cod is developed to examine how protected areas may affect payoffs to the players under cooperation and...

In this paper I intend to offer a general assessment of major alternatives in fisheries management. My analysis will be confined to fisheries management systems that are pertinent to industrially advanced countries, where the need for such systems is apparent and where the financial,...

Este artículo analiza el problema al que puede enfrentarse la zoocría en la producción y comercialización de fauna bajo ciertas condiciones relacionadas con los costos. Considerando el proceso actual de trámites legales y de regulación, es posible que los zoocriaderistas consideren actuar...

During the late 1980s, Norwegian salmon farmers had a market share of over 50% for farmed salmon in the USA. In 1991 a countervailing duty and an anti-dumping duty were imposed on Norwegian exports of farmed salmon to the US which basically closed the market for Norwegian salmon. The primary aim...

Relationships between prices of goods have held interest within economics in at least two areas - market integration and product aggregation. There is a close relationship between market integration and aggregation, although this has not received much attention in the more recent literature....

In a decentralized open economy model with an endogenous growth sector and a renewable resource sector a steady state–balanced growth equilibrium will at best be attained by chance. An interior equilibrium where both sectors exist and the resource sector is in equilibrium while the other...

This paper contributes with an applied policy analysis of the predator preservation <p> policy in Sweden. We estimate the social benefits from preserving the four large <p> predators in Sweden by applying a contingent valuation approach. The vehicle we use <p> to fulfil our objectives is data from a...</p></p></p>

This paper addresses the management of multispecies fisheries, and suggests the use of restricted fishing policies as an interesting option for unassessed fisheries (as is the case within developing countries). Specifically, we consider a predator–prey system under two potential management...
