Marine sacrificial zones are planned areas dedicated to the toxic violence of carbo-chemical
port development around the world. In the marine environment in Chile, repeated fisher led …

In 2001 an individual (operationally transferable) quota system was introduced for all the
most important industrial fisheries in Chile. This system was put in place after years of …

The debate in commercial fishery management has evolved from whether well-defined
rights are necessary for sustainability to measuring the impacts of different rights-based …

This paper examines estimations of technical catch efficiency for a sample of 204 industrial
vessels operating at the pelagic grounds of Southern-Central Chile during the 1985-95 …

Abstract The Gordon-Schaefer production function is widely used in theoretical and
empirical analysis of fisheries and implies a strict proportionality between stock size and …

Investigations of the biological effects of climate change in past societies can increase our
understanding of diverse human adaptations to environmental instability. Individuals from …

Biologic characteristics of schooling fish species explain why the rates of harvesting in
pelagic fisheries are not proportional to the existent stock size and may exhibit no variation …

Bait tuna vessels in developing coastal countries often compete with artisanal fishers for
small pelagic species such as anchovies. Owing to the capital-intensive nature of tuna …

We develop a bioeconomic model to analyze a fishery with fixed costs as well as a within-
season continuous cost function for the generalized Schaefer production function with …

A menudo la escala productiva de diversas pesquerías en el mundo muestra escasa
flexibilidad frente a descensos en la abundancia de la pesca, lo que en ocasiones genera …
