摘要本文描述了在一个单独的捕捞配额管理计划下，太平洋沿岸底栖鱼类渔业的船队结构、船只捕捞活动和经济绩效的预期变化。结果表明，目前117艘船舶的船队将减少约50%-66%，减至40- 60艘，每年节省费用1 800 - 2 200万美元（根据2004年价格和成本估计）。然而，如果将对船舶间配额交易的限制纳入计划设计，节省的成本可能会大大减少。还研究了收取费用以资助项目管理的替代模式及其对船队规模和渔业总价值的影响。我们的结论是，一个程序的个人捕捞配额，如果精心设计，可以是一个有吸引力的替代太平洋沿岸底栖鱼类渔业管理。JEL分类代码：Q2、D24
Abstract This article characterizes anticipated changes in fleet structure, vessel harvesting activity, and economic performance in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery under an individual fishing quota management program. Results suggest that the current fleet of 117 vessels will be reduced by roughly 50%–66% to 40–-60 vessels, resulting in annual cost savings of $18–$22 million (based on 2004 price and cost estimates). However, cost savings could be significantly less if restrictions on quota trading across vessels are incorporated into the program design. Alternative modes of collecting fees to fund program administration and their impact on fleet size and total fishery value are also studied. We conclude that a program of individual fishing quotas, if carefully designed, can be an attractive alternative for management of the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery.
