    • Fisher's effort allocation behavior and decision-making process in the Norwegian trawl fishery 

      Alizadeh Ashrafi, Tannaz (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-06-09)
      The empirical investigation of fishers’ harvest behavior is an important but neglected strand of fishery science. In this thesis, we fill some of this gap by developing empirical models to investigate trawlers’ harvest behavior over time and space in codfish fisheries, managed using individual vessel quotas (IVQs). Fishers’ harvest behavior is reflected in the decision-making processes underlying ...

      Alizadeh Ashrafi, Tannaz; Ersdal, Anne Mai; Nordli, Anders Samuelsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-21)
      Under the individual vessel quota regulations, the expected economic return of a multi species fishery is influenced by an array of a multi-component choice such as targeted species, landings per haul, harvesting time and its location. The components of effort allocation decisions are further complicated by changes in the market conditions and the constant movements of fish between spawning and ...
