Fishing Revenue, Productivity and Product Choice in the Alaska Pollock Fishery
A key element in evaluating fishery management strategies is to examine their effects on the economic performance of fishery participants, yet nearly all empirical studies of fisheries focus on fishing as opposed to processing. However, the economic benefits derived from fish stocks are largely dete...
