Market integration and price leadership: The U.S. Atlantic salmon market

Submitted by César Salazar on

When markets are integrated and the law of one price holds, prices confronted by different producers should tend to uniformity, in the long run, allowance is made for differences in quality and transportation costs. However, how producers coordinate to align prices is not obvious and probably the answer will vary between markets. In this article, we investigate this question using salmon prices differentials, for the main export countries—Canada, Chile, Norway, and the United Kingdom—of farmed Atlantic salmon in the United States market.

The performance of shared fish stock fisheries under varying institutional and socioeconomic conditions: Evidence from the South Eastern Pacific Anchoveta Fishery

Submitted by César Salazar on

We apply the Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) methodology to the Southeast Pacific Anchoveta Fishery off southern Peru and northern Chile. Our basic model of analysis is a production function framework, where the performance outcomes are a result of the available inputs. We measured all FPI categories (outcomes and input metrics) and then grouped the metrics into different dimensions suitable for analysis. We obtained the value of each metric from different sources using expert evaluation and secondary information.

Rebuilding Colombian fisheries: A success story

Submitted by Petra Hansson on

Assessing progress on sustainability in fisheries presents an urgent need to evaluate how management reforms interact with fishing communities to not only assure the health of the fish stock, but also create social and economic benefits. A number of fisheries management reforms are undertaken every year in recognition of the important role fisheries play in providing employment and income to remote coastal communities, contributing to food security and poverty alleviation.

Collapse and recovery of the Colombian queen conch resource

EfD Authors:

The triple-bottom-line (TBL) approach defines successful fisheries as those which are ecologically sustainable, capable of generating profits to fishermen, and socially accepted. This approach has brought two significant challenges to fishery managers. On the one hand, the TBL approach usually requires new types of data and analysis to guide scientifically-based fisheries assessment. Recent research suggests that scientifically-assessed fisheries have a better likelihood of success compared with scientifically-unassessed fisheries, which represent most developing country fisheries.

Yes, we can manage fisheries

Fisheries management reforms were actually carried out and we are already in many places solving the problem through fisheries policies. The big problem areas are where there is no effective policy at…
