Seasonality of Fish Catch and Fish Prices in Natural Egyptian Fisheries

Counting fish: a typology for fisheries catch data

Do Catch Shares End the Race to Fish and Increase Ex Vessel Prices? Evidence from U.S. Fisheries

Catch shares appear to lower fishing costs by eliminating redundant capacity. Theory suggests that catch shares may also alter within-season behavior and generate revenue benefits through improved market timing, higher product quality, and changes in the fresh/frozen product mix. Do catch shares alter within-season behavior to end the race to fish? Do catch shares cause ex vessel prices to incr...

Fish harder; catch more?

Perhaps the most fundamental insight from fishery science is that ecosystems impose important and predictable constraints on food production from the sea. The familiar hump-shaped growth curve implies that the growth rate and carrying capacity of a species limit its production: Once stocks are depleted, further increasing fishing pressure will only lead to decreases in catch. This logic underpi...

First Catch Your Fish: Designing a “Low Energy Fish” Label

This paper explores the application of information design principles to label design for fish packaging, identifying energy implications for the product. This stage of the project has consisted of: A review and distillation of the relevant literature on information and label design; environmental and labelling standards; and literature on consumer reaction to the design and information content ...

The Fish and Fisheries of Bouvet Island

Total marine fisheries catches by CCAMLR member countries within the EEZ of Bouvet Island (or Bouvetøya, Norway) in the southern Atlantic were estimated from 1970 to 2010, including previously unreported catches from longline fisheries. Mesopelagic and demersal fish species distribution and abundance around Bouvet Island were assessed through the 20 century by various methods. Cumulative marine...
