  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Role of floating fishing villages in the social life of fishers in south central region Author: Nguyen, Duy Thieu Unlike the North and the South where abundance of freshwater, the marine capture fisheries is underdeveloped, the Central Coast, especially South Central Coast with little freshwater fisheries resources, but high amount of shrimps, fishes at sea, thus local fishermen have exploited this resource for living early. Together with this living process, Van Chai- a basic social unit, has been setup and gradually completed. In tradition of social units, this level is both administrative unit and self-governing unit. It also carries out many functions: managing people, organizing production, belief life and controlling resources etc. Since changes of traditional social system in Vietnam from three-level institution including Family – Village – State (“in home out village, in village out state”) to a five-level system: State (Central) - Province - District – Commune – Hamlet (village), functions of Van Chai has also been changed. Today, like agricultural villages, Van Chai only play their roles as self-governing unit besides supporting each other among its households in term of non-administrative internal works such as funeral ceremonies, marriage, festivals and so on, other functions such as managing resources go beyond responsibility of Van Chai recently. These changes do not only affect fishermen’s life in many aspects but also resources protection. In current social circumstances, no one worries when resource is in exhausted. With above idea, the report will mention following contents: 1. Process for formation and development of Van Chai in South Central Coast 2. Functions of Van Chai in South Central Coast in traditional social life + Function as a fishers managing unit + Function as a production unit + Function as a belief unit + Function to control and protect fisheries resources 3. Changes on functions of Van Chai in current social life and corollaries from these changes In the conclusion, some issues are raised for discussion: How to promote and inherit roles and functions of Van Chai under current developed process as well as arena of fisheries resource protection.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Location Choice Behavior Modeling of Shrimp Fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico Author: Kazmierczak, Richard F., Ran, Tao, Keithly, Walter R. The shrimp fishery accounts for more than one-half of the total revenues generated by commercial fishing activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Due to its historical open access nature the harvesting sector has historically been overcapitalized (from an economic perspective) resulting in a suboptimal generation of rents. Various management measures have been considered/implemented in an effort to reduce shrimp trawling externalities. The studies upon which many of these measures were based, however, have failed to account for the behavioral reaction of the shrimp fishermen to the policy. As a result, enacted regulations may not have achieved the anticipated goal(s) and proposed management measures are likely not to meet expectations. Based on sound discrete choice theory, the purpose of this paper is to develop an analysis of shrimpers spatial behavior under uncertainty and to provide an ex post empirical economic analysis of this behavior. Location choice decision is modeled in an effort to examine short-run behavior of the shrimp fleet in response to economic and non-economic factors of relevance including (a) proposed regulation, (b) seasonality, (c) past siting choice experience, (d) risk attitudes, (e) vessel mobility, (f) profit, and (g) crowding effects. The development and empirical testing of this model will be used to assess and forecast spatial activities of fishermen for more effective management of the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Individual Value-Driven Rent Dissipation in Limited-Entry Fisheries: Experimental Evidence Author: Ainsworth, Joel, Knapp, Gunnar, Murphy, Jim, Dunham, Gabe Economists have devoted considerable attention to rent-dissipation in limited-entry fisheries as a result of excessive use of capital inputs, or "capital stuffing." We may refer to this mechanism of rent dissipation as "cost-driven rent dissipation." An alternative potential mechanism of rent dissipation, which we refer to as "value-driven rent dissipation," may occur if limited-entry management causes fishermen to receive a lower price for their fish than would be possible under an alternative management system. In theory, value-driven rent dissipation may occur if the marginal value to a fisherman from fishing differently (for example, more slowly to take better care of the fish and improve quality) is positive but less than the marginal cost from a reduced catch share. This paper describes an economic experiment to study value-driven rent dissipation in a limited entry fishery. Following an approach developed by Knapp and Murphy (2010), subjects "fish" competitively for beans by scooping them out of a large bowl and "delivering" them to a pitcher. Given the choice of delivering to a pitcher placed close by for a lower price or a pitcher placed farther away for a higher price, unless the price differential is sufficiently high, subjects choose the closer but lower-priced pitcher. With the introduction of an individual quota to replace the competitive fishery, value dissipation ends as subjects choose the higher-priced pitcher. This simple experiment provides a powerful demonstration of a less-appreciated mechanism of rent dissipation, which is useful for both research and teaching.
