Sammendrag
This survey of the Norwegian purse seine fleet licensed to fish blue whiting focuses
on the relationship between restricted fisheries, such as spring-spawning herring, North
Sea herring, mackerel, and capelin, and unrestricted fisheries, of which blue whiting
is the most important. To model the behaviour of the fishermen a restricted profit
function is used, where species quotas are treated as fixed factors while blue whiting
along with other non-quota species are variable factors. We find no relationship
between blue whiting and herring, and mackerel. Blue whiting and capelin are
substitutes. So are other non-quota species and spring-spawning herring. Other non-quota
species are complements to mackerel and North Sea herring.
