Economic diversity of Maine's American lobster fishery

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2023
Maine's coastal communities critically depend on the American lobster fishery, which is now exposed to ocean warming. There is uncertainty about the future robustness of the stock and the economic performance of the fleet appears vulnerable. This research characterizes economic heterogeneity in Maine's fishing fleet using latent class stochastic ...

Catch statistics in the bloodworm fishery in Maine

Fisheries Research, 2009
Abstract Though they are of critical importance as tools for fisheries managers, catch statistics of small-scale artisanal fisheries are rare. The bloodworm ( Glycera dibranchiata ) fishery in Maine has lacked catch data since the 1970s, and the extent of the disturbance to the mudflats from which they are dug has never been examined.

Catch shares and the main Hawaiian Islands bottomfish fishery: Linking fishery conditions and fisher perceptions

Marine Policy, 2014
Abstract To address overfishing concerns, a total allowable catch (TAC) management program was instituted in the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) bottomfish fishery during 2007. Using results from a recent survey of bottomfish fishermen, this paper details behavioral and social aspects of bottomfish fishing in Hawaii and explores fisher perceptions ...

Does Lobster Trap Bait Influence the Maine Inshore Trap Fishery?

North American Journal of Fisheries Management, 2002
Abstract The potential role of lobster trap bait as a significant food subsidy contributing to unprecedented recent increases in abundance and landings of the American lobster Homarus americanus is seldom considered seriously outside the fishing community.

Fisheries Management and Social Context: The Case of the Maine Lobster Fishery

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1975
Abstract Fisheries management agencies have traditionally promoted regulations with the resource in mind. All too often, the regulations proposed have conflicted so strongly with basic social and cultural features of fishing communities that they have been massively resisted. Here, it is argued that opposition to fisheries regulations will be minimized

The Salmon and Trout Fishery of the Fish River Lakes, Maine

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1963
Abstract Partial creel censuses were operated on five of the Fish River Lakes in 1957-59 and on one of the lakes in 1954 and 1961 also. The salmon and brook trout fishing in general compared favorably with other large Maine lakes. Fishing success in Square Lake declined by 62 percent between 1954 and 1961.

Main Fisheries in Europe since the Middle Ages

1992
From the time of the fall of the Roman Empire and theunrestful period of mass migration information on fishing is rather scant. Certainly fish, both from freshwater and from the sea, continued to be an important food source. According to Solinus (around 240), the natives of the Hebrides, west of Scotland, lived mainly on fish.

Optimal Intra-annual Exploitation of the Maine Lobster Fishery

Land Economics, 2011
I present a model of the Maine lobster fishery that incorporates a monthly demand model and an empirically estimated production function that accounts for seasonal variability in catchability, inseason depletion, and congestion effects. I compare optimal exploitation with observed exploitation and evaluate the extent to which profits under a ...

Experiments in the Governance of Maine’s Coastal Fisheries

2015
Twenty-five-hundred miles northeast of the sky islands of the borderlands, off the coast of Maine, is another archipelago. Hundreds of bays and inlets form a rich tapestry of different marine and terrestrial habitats. Myriad rivers deliver nutrient-rich water to the sea from their headwaters in mountains hundreds of miles away.
