  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Recent Adjustments in Northeast US Fresh Groundfish and Scallop Processing and Marketing Author: Georgianna, Daniel, Lee, Min-Yang The North Atlantic U.S. groundfish and scallop processing industries are a tale of two fisheries. The groundfish processing industry has suffered a steep, almost continual decline in landings starting in 1984 that resulted in 2014 landings that were only 16% of 1983 landings. US scallop landings increased from 5 million mt in 1998 to 30 mill mt in 2004, remaining around that peak until 2012. Both processing industries had to adjust: groundfish processors had to find new sources of fresh groundfish and other products to fill customers’ orders and scallop processors had to find new customers to buy its surplus product. This study used interviews with processors and data on landings, imports and exports to examine the marketing strategies of these processing industries to adjust to trends in landings and to evaluate their success within the confines the US Magnuson-Stevens Act. After imported whole groundfish from Canada were eliminated as substitutes for local landings, groundfish processors increased diversification of products as substitute for fresh groundfish to fill their customers’ orders, scouring the world for products such as Pacific cod, other groundfish, and some pelagic species. They also skipped the wholesale market to sell direct to retailers and restaurants. Not all succeeded, processing plants declined by almost half since 1990. Scallop processors successfully developed new markets for scallops, through exports and IQF packing for restaurants. The doubling of ex-vessel scallop prices, adjusted for inflation, since 2000 shows their success, which also supports processors’ claims that steady increasing supply improves product sales.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Geographic Concentration in the Northeast U.S. Sea Scallop Fishery Author: Carr-Harris, Andrew, Speir, Cameron, Lee, Min-Yang New Bedford’s share of Atlantic sea scallops landings and revenues increased from 44% in 1996 to 67% in 2013. Explanations for industrial agglomerations often focus on the relative importance of natural advantage and economies of scale or scope. We use the absolute and relative Theil indices of disproportionality to examine changes in geographic concentration of landings in this fishery from 1996-2013. During this time, the scallop stock was rebuilt from an overfished condition, large areas of the ocean were closed to fishing, portions of those areas were re-opened to scallop fishing, and a formal rotational management program was put into place. The relative Theil index shows that the geographic distribution of sea scallop landings has grown increasingly similar to the geographic distribution of other federally managed fisheries during this time period, although there were 3 brief reversals of this trend. The absolute Theil indicates that the geographic distribution of landings was characterized by a relatively stable period through 1999, a period of accelerating divergence from the 1996 baseline, abrupt reversion to a new steady state from 2007-2012, and another abrupt change in 2013. Because the Theil disproportionality measures are aspatial, we conduct Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) to examine global and local indicators of spatial association such as hot spots, cold spots, and negative spatial autocorrelation.

• 7. [Article] Distributional Effects of Quota Self-Governance by French Producer Cooperatives: The Case of the Bay of Biscay Sole Fishery

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Distributional Effects of Quota Self-Governance by French Producer Cooperatives: The Case of the Bay of Biscay Sole Fishery Author: Bellanger, Manuel, Macher, Claire, Guyader, Olivier Quota allocation mechanisms have distributional effects with important issues concerning the economic organization of the fishery and acceptability. Yet, these distributional effects are rarely studied. In France, where fishing rights are not transferable, the quotas are shared between producer cooperatives based on the historical landings of their members. Each cooperative is then responsible for distributing its quotas to its members (i.e. pooling and redistribution). What are the distributional effects of the different quota management systems adopted by cooperatives on quotas and productions? The Bay of Biscay sole fishery is a good case study for investigating this question in the context of the EU Common Fishery Policy reform and the individualization of quota management by cooperatives as quotas become more constraining. This paper presents comparisons between (i) theoretical allocations by vessel based on historical landings; (ii) theoretical allocations according to cooperative quota management systems; (iii) actual landings observed. Concentration and inequality indicators were used to quantify and qualify distributional effects. Results showed that the various quota management systems among cooperatives have contrasting effects on vessels’ productions including benefits to the most sole-dependent vessels in some cooperatives and benefits to the small scale fisheries in other cooperatives.
