The multispecies fisheries management looks at a bigger picture in addressing the long-term consequences of present decisions. This implies an ecosystem management that includes a number of species and their physical, ...

A variant of the classical harvesting game, where a number of competing agents simultaneously harvest a common-pool natural resource, is analysed. The harvesting at each time is a Cournot competition. The critical assumption ...

Microalgae receive rising attention because of their capacity to generate biofuels. Cultured either in ponds or photobioreactors, they have a high growth rate, occupy smaller cultivation land area than other biofuel-generating ...

Formålet med denne rapporten er å gi en mest mulig fullstendig oversikt over skatte- og avgiftstrykket i den norske fiskeflåten med hovedvekt på gebyrer og særavgifter. Utredningen tar for seg fem aspekter: 1. Definisjon ...

A new approach of model parameter estimation is used with simulated measurements to recover both biological and economic input parameters of a natural resource model. The procedure efficiently combines time series of ...

The post World War II era saw the development of powerful self-contained fishing fleets, so-called distant-water fleets (DWFs), which roamed the worlds oceans, seeking out rich harvesting targets wherever they might be ...

The 1993 U.N. Straddling Stock Agreement prescribes a multi-national organizational structure for management of an exploited marine fish stock, one whose range straddles both “Extended Economic Zones” (EEZs) and high seas ...

In this thesis, we investigate the impact of developing offshore wind farms in Træna on the local community and the fleet operating in the respective areas. In particular, we evaluate the catch value within each offshore ...

The harvesting functions and the stock dynamics in age-structured bioeconomic models are generalized in order to incorporate density dependence. Using this generalization anything from completely uniformly distributed fish ...
