Economic Analysis of the Targeting Strategy of Artisanal Fishers in Dominica

摘要: Abstract This article examines the entrepreneurial artisanal fisher's problem of choosing a set targets that minimize variability in net trip revenues given limited inputs and carrying capacity constraints an vessel open-access fishery. Specifically, it explores fishing behaviour targeting options fishermen Dominica, with objective identifying catch-sets can reduce variance mean income earned by fishers over season. The therein is to enable earn more stable income, thus reducing their vulnerability economic shocks. explored within context risk tradeoff model for mean-variance portfolio optimization. Literature supports view high degree catch rate contributes unprofitability may also encourage use unsustainable harvesting practices attempt improve revenue. e...
