WF Globalclimate-FA.Indd This bibliography provides a collection of key references and online documents from 1966 to 2006 on the economic effects of climate change on fisheries. It is aimed towards information generation, analysis and dissemination, and facilitating the identification of research needs and priorities since ultimately, the sustainability of fish stocks and coastal communities will depend on how well these resources are managed. The current collection reflects the thrust of past research which has focused largely on temperate and developed areas, since studies focusing on developing countries/regions in the tropics are fewer and more recent. Some biological, meteorological and oceanographic sources are included where they have been used extensively as background to economic studies. This bibliography was compiled by Ann Shriver of the International Institute of Fisheries Economics and Trade (IIFET) in collaboration with the staff of The WorldFish Center under the direction of Dr. Mahfuzuddin Ahmed. It was compiled for distribution at the Consultation on the Impact of Global Climate Change on Aquatic Resources, Food and Income Security of Fishing-dependent Populations, jointly organized by The WorldFish Center and the United States National Marine Fisheries Service Southwest Regional Office (San Diego, California), held on 24 and 25 August 2005. The printed document you are now reading includes the collection of references as of early May 2006; however, the collection continues to grow and is regularly updated on the internet, at www.oneFish.org, in the IIFET “Virtual Office”. Authors of relevant new economic studies are encouraged to submit them for inclusion in the online collection.

The WorldFish Center is one of the 15 international research centers of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) that has initiated the public awareness campaign, Future Harvest. ii The WorldFish Center Preface Over the past century, a significant warming trend has been experienced worldwide. Global mean surface temperatures have risen by approximately 0.5–0.6˚C, with the highest increase registered during the past two decades. Scientists posit a number of different explanations for this phenomenon, including increases in greenhouse gas concentrations (e.g., carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) from the combustion of fossil fuels (e.g., coal, oil and natural gas) and other human activities. This increase in atmospheric temperature may already be affecting, and may continue to affect the marine environment, which in turn is anticipated to impinge on fisheries resources and fish-dependent coastal communities. Although both marine resource managers and fishing communities have successfully adapted to minor and brief variations in the earth’s temperature throughout history, the vulnerability of tropical coastal communities today to the predicted larger-scale and prolonged changes in climate patterns is increased by the several factors, including but not limited to the following list: 1. the fisheries sector is already beset with critical problems resulting in a declining resource base; 2. most fish species can only tolerate a limited range of temperature variation, such that any shifts outside this narrow band can be expected to affect the resource stock, especially in warmer waters; 3. for a majority of the poor, who lack capital resources and access to employment opportunities, any changes in the availability and distribution of fish stocks will affect coastal communities who depend on these resources as a major source of food and income; 4. socioeconomic and institutional barriers, as well as other current realities may prevent fisherfolk from utilizing long- established coping mechanisms that worked in the past; and 5. the impact of the current trend in climate change may be of a different magnitude and extent from that of historical experience, increasing the risks to these already vulnerable aquatic resources and coastal communities, and rendering past research and experience inadequate to deal with the current variations in atmospheric temperature. Studies in the past focused on the ecological impacts of global climate change on aquatic resources. There is a need to extend this effort to improve our understanding of the socioeconomic linkages and economic effects of climate change particularly on vulnerable aquatic ecosystems and resources as well as coastal populations. To this end, this bibliography provides a collection of key references and online documents from 1966 to 2006 on the economic effects of climate change on fisheries with a view toward contributing to information generation, analysis and dissemination, and facilitating the identification of research needs and priorities since ultimately, the sustainability of fish stocks and coastal communities will depend on how well these resources were managed. The current collection reflects the thrust of past research which has focused largely on temperate and developed areas, since studies focusing on developing countries/regions in the tropics are few and far between. Our goal is to focus primarily on economic research, but some biological, meteorological and oceanographic sources are included where they have been used extensively as background to economic studies.

  • Models for an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries
    ISSN 0429-9345 FAO FISHERIES 477 TECHNICAL PAPER 477 Models for an ecosystem approach to fisheries Models for an ecosystem approach to fisheries This report reviews the methods available for assessing the impacts of interactions between species and fisheries and their implications for marine fisheries management. A brief description of the various modelling approaches currently in existence is provided, highlighting in particular features of these models that have general relevance to the field of ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF). The report concentrates on the currently available models representative of general types such as bionergetic models, predator-prey models and minimally realistic models. Short descriptions are given of model parameters, assumptions and data requirements. Some of the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of each of the approaches in addressing questions pertaining to EAF are discussed. The report concludes with some recommendations for moving forward in the development of multispecies and ecosystem models and for the prudent use of the currently available models as tools for provision of scientific information on fisheries in an ecosystem context.

  • Salmon Fish Traps in Alaska Steve Colt January 11, 1999 Economic History
    Salmon Fish Traps in Alaska Steve Colt January 11, 1999 Economic History Salmon cannery at Loring, Alaska in 1897. Reproduced from The Salmon and Salmon Fisheries of Alaska by Jefferson F. Moser, 1899 Alaska Fish Traps 1 Salmon Fish Traps in Alaska Abstract Salmon return faithfully to their stream of birth and can be efficiently caught by fixed gear. But since the introduction at the turn of the century of fish traps to the emerging Alaska commercial salmon fishery, most territorial residents fought for their abolition even while admitting to their technical efficiency. The new State of Alaska immediately banned traps in 1959. I estimate the economic rents generated by the Alaska salmon traps as they were actually deployed and find that they saved roughly $ 4 million 1967$ per year, or about 12% of the ex-vessel value of the catch. I also find strong evidence that the fishermen operating from boats earned zero profits throughout the 20th century. Thus the State's ban on fish traps did allow 6,000 additional people to enter the fishery, but did nothing to boost average earnings. 1. Introduction "We Alaskans charge emphatically and can prove that the fish trap is a menace to a continued successful operation of fisheries in Alaska. By this measure you would legalize the destruction of the major industry of Alaska and jeopardize the livelihood of the many resident workers, of the many small businesses; in whole, the entire economic structure of Alaska. For what? The continued exploitation of Alaskan resources by an absentee monopoly that must have a profit far in excess of that of any other business." --RR Warren, a resident Alaska fisherman, testifying before the U.S.

Iceland, promoted by some as a successful international model of this approach, has been the site – for nearly thirty years – of fierce debate and controversy regarding the system’s effects on regional development, social justice and wealth disparity.

  • An Integrated Study of Economic Effects of and Vulnerabilities to Global Warming on the Barents Sea Cod Fisheries
    Climatic Change (2008) 87:251–262 DOI 10.1007/s10584-007-9338-0 An integrated study of economic effects of and vulnerabilities to global warming on the Barents Sea cod fisheries Arne Eide Received: 6 July 2006 /Accepted: 3 October 2007 / Published online: 27 November 2007 # Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2007 Abstract The Barents Sea area is characterised by a highly fluctuating physical environment causing substantial variations in the ecosystems and fisheries depending upon this. Simulations assuming different management regimes have been carried out to study how physical and biological effects of global warming influence the Barents Sea cod fisheries. A regional, high-resolution representation of the B2 world region (OECD90) scenario from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was used to calculate water temperatures and plankton biomasses by hydrodynamic modelling. These results were included in simulations performed by a multi-fleet, multi-species model, by which a fully integrated model linking to the global circulation model to the Barents Sea fisheries through a regional downscaling to the Barents Sea area is constructed. One factor of particular importance for the natural annual biological variations is the occasional inflow of young herring into the Barents Sea area. The herring inflow is difficult to predict and links to dynamical systems outside the Barents Sea area, complex recruitment mechanisms and oceanographic conditions. These processes are in the study represented by a stochastic representation of herring inflow based on historical observations. According to the performed simulations the biomass fluctuations may slightly increase over the next 25 years, possibly caused by changes in temperature patterns.

They are the primary mechanism for achieving the cooperation between and among all fishing nations including coastal States that is essential for the effective management of international fisheries. In the absence of such cooperation, experience has shown that in the case of common pool resources, open to exploitation by all, the objectives of long-term sustainability and optimum utilization become extremely difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. The more likely scenario is severe over-exploitation of the resources and their sub-optimal utilization.

ABSTRACT This report provides a synopsis of findings on subsistence systems in Alaska, drawing on a quarter century of research by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Subsistence. The synopsis examines the localized nature of subsistence systems. Subsistence is shown to comprise a diverse set of localized systems of food production and distribution, representing relatively unique combinations of ecological, cultural, and economic factors. The report concludes that there is not one subsistence tradition in Alaska, but a multitude of subsistence traditions linked to particular localities. The creators and principal users of these localized subsistence traditions are the long-term residents in the communities and areas where they occur. For resource managers to achieve fish and game management goals, locality is at times an essential regulatory tool.
