SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE THIRD REGULAR SESSION 13-24 August 2007 Honolulu, United States of America BAIT LOSS AND ITS POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON FISHING POWER IN PELAGIC LONGLINE FISHERIES WCPFC-SC3-FT SWG/WP-6
We analyzed 1950s survey data with generalized estimating equations (GEEs) to quantify factors that influence the rate that bait is lost from pelagic longlines. Hook depth, bait species, local tuna abundance, and the timing of longline operations strongly influenced loss rates. Loss rates increased with tuna abundance and soak time. They declined with hook depth and were low for firm-bodied bai...

متن کاملThe Economics of Allocation in Tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs)
The paper reviews existing allocation mechanisms in the five tuna regional fisheries management organizations and shows that although they have adopted different approaches all have failed to prevent overcapacity and, for some stocks, overexploitation. As an alternative, it is proposed that each tuna regional fishing management organization establish total allowable catches by species and area,...
