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...

This paper proposes a salmon management strategy for the dual purpose of strengthening the economies of First Nation river communities and substantially increasing the production of salmon from the Fraser and Skeena watersheds for the benefit of all stakeholders. This would involve an initial...

Canada's Pacific salmon fisheries are again in a crisis of declining stocks, excess fishing effort and poor returns. Changes in fisheries management which may help resolve some of these problems include licence buy-backs, individual transferable quotas, additional effort controls, single gear...

Subsidies in the world's fishing industry have long been considered to have harmful effects on fish stocks. The fishing industry has suffered from over-capacity for many years and more pressure on fish stocks, many of which are already exploited close to extinction. However, this paper argues,...

We investigate the applicability of the present-value asset pricing model to fishing quota markets by applying instrumental variable panel data estimation techniques to 15 years of market transactions from New Zealand’s individual fishing quota market. In addition to the influence of current...

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...

In this paper we use the Contingent Evaluation methodology to develop an economic evaluation of natural resources in a protected marine area of Sicily. Assuming a non-Normal distribution for the ML estimation, the paper shows that a variant of the stochastic utility model appears to capture well...

In this paper efficiency gains and associated cost reductions from increases in traded quota are estimated with a stochastic cost frontier for the Australian South East Trawl Fishery (SETF). Estimation of this frontier also provides key information on the relative importance of input costs in...
