An empirical analysis of production distortions in the mid-Atlantic surf clam and ocean quahog fishery

This paper presents empirical evidence of production distortions under controlled access management in the Mid-Atlantic surf clam and ocean quahog fishery. Results indicate that vessels harvested multiple clam species even though the harvest technology exhibits diseconomies of scope. Vessels also op...
