Working Paper # 2017 - 02 Ex - vessel fish price database : disaggregating prices for low - priced species from reduction fisheries
24 25 Ex-vessel fish prices are essential for comprehensive fisheries management and 26 socioeconomic analyses for fisheries science. In this paper, we reconstructed a global ex27 vessel price database with the following areas of improvement: 1) compiling reported prices 28 explicitly listed as ‘for reduction to fishmeal and fish oil’ to estimate prices separately for 29 catches destined for fi...
متن کاملDo 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...
متن کاملIs size-dependent pricing prevalent in fisheries? The case of Norwegian demersal and pelagic fisheries
It is commonly acknowledged that body weight of fish is a key factor in determining market value of landed catch, thus influencing optimal harvest strategies. However, in management strategy evaluations and bioeconomic modelling body size is often an overlooked economic parameter, and there are no systematic studies on prevalence of sizedependent pricing. Here we assess the presence and magnitu...
متن کاملFish market prices drive overfishing of the ‘big ones’
The relationship between fish market price and body size has not been explored much in fisheries science. Here, the mean market prices and fish body size were collected in order to examine the hypothesis that large fish, both among- and within-species, are being selectively targeted by fisheries because they may yield greater profit. Trophic levels, vulnerability to fishing and global landings ...
متن کاملFishing history à la carte
The decline in many marine fisheries is well documented but there is less information about the scale and timing of their demise. Researchers are now beginning to search for such information in the hope that it may help reveal how different fisheries might best be conserved or restored. One novel source has been seafood prices collected from US restaurant menus dating to the 1850s, which are he...
