  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Can Self-thinning Be Used as a Production Control Mechanism? The Case of Mussel Farming in Quebec Author: Fréchette, Marcel, Wilson, James R., Bilodeau, Francis A bio-economic model, based on Faustmann rotation, was developed to analyze the relevance of removing thinning activities which are part of the dominant technology used in blue mussel production in Canada. Removing these density control activities (thinning) seemed a profitable option to producers. It was thought that this collector line technology would allow a part-time production, which would help start a small local industry in Eastern Québec. Biological and economic literature show the importance of density relationships upon mussel growth and harvest. Many advantages, such as restocking thinned mussel and improved growth rate, would therefore be lost. These dynamics, collectively called self-thinning in the biological literature, could be used to make this technology profitable if properly framed. Samples were taken on 140 foot-long lines used for collecting mussels of age 0+ to 3+ from local producers, as well as financial information. Analysis of population dynamics under this technology showed differences in yield and variability of samples taken at deep and shallow portions of the lines. Gompertz growth functions were fitted to these two cases. A Weibull CDF was then estimated to evaluate risk of fall-off for deep and shallow samples, determining the proportion of harvestable lines at a given time. Initial setting seemed more important then biomass growth to explain the large variability in yield. Results show that maximum revenue is attained after 4 years rather then 3, which is the current practice by local producers. In post-optimality analyses, the optimal rotation period seemed insensitive to most production or financial changes. Parameters considered reasonable to producers yielded negative profit while sub-standard subsidies allowed profitability. This function was more sensitive to changes on economic variables while reducing fall-off rate is also significant. Such changes could allow economic profit for producers.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Maintaining the Viability of Seafood Processing and Harvesting Industries in Coastal Alaska: Role of Marine Extension Author: Fong, Quentin Alaska is the largest seafood producing state in the US. In 2013, Alaska landed 1.88 billion USD worth of seafood, with a volume of 2.63 million MT. This consists of 34% of the total value and 60% of the total volume landed in the US. Of the top 20 fishing port landing by value, 11 are from Alaska. Alaska’s seafood industry directly employs more workers than any other industry sector with more than 60,000. The success of the seafood industry is vital to our coastal communities. In response to employers and stakeholders concern of the graying or increasing age of the workforce, the Alaska Maritime Workforce Development Plan was developed by representatives of the fisheries, seafood, and marine industry sectors, state agencies and the university in Alaska. Aside from workforce development, stakeholders and policy makers also recognize the need for business and entrepreneurship development, including seafood to sustain the economic viability of our fisheries/seafood dependent coastal communities. This presentation illustrates how marine extension, specifically the Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program and the Kodiak Seafood and Marine Science Center assist Alaska’s seafood harvesting and processing sectors to maintain their viability in the global seafood marketplace. Training programs such as the Alaska Seafood Processor Institute, Seafood Processor Quality Control to address the graying of the workforce, research programs such as co-product development to increase the total value of the catch, and service programs such as one-on-one business and market development consultations will be presented and discussed.
