A Bioeconomic Analysis of the Northern Baltic Salmon Fishery: Management of Competing Sequential Fisheries Kulmala Soile, Laukkanen Marita, Michielsens Catherine ESEE 2005
Structure of the talk • Biological context • Social context • Different salmon fisheries • Dealing with complexity • Results
Biological and social context • Decreasing number of salmon stocks • damming, pollution, overfishing • Tightened regulation • time and gear restrictions • Conflicts between different user groups • commercial versus recreational fishery • Active salmon fishery policy debate
Biological context Bothnian Bay Gulf of Bothnia • Migration routes • Feeding areas • Present salmon rivers • Past salmon rivers Bothnian Sea Gulf of Finland Baltic Proper
Social context • Salmon Action Plan (SAP) • conservation • yield maximization • Different fisheries • fishing time and place • gear • salmon price • fishing costs • recreational • commercial
Social context RI Salmon fisheries CTN • Offshore driftnet (ODN) In 2006 2. Offshore longline (OLL) CDN 3. Coastal driftnet (CDN) OLL 4. Coastal trapnet (CTN) ODN 5. River (RI)
Objectives of present study • Realism to bioeconomic models • Charles and Reed (1985) • Laukkanen (2001) • Contribution to fishery policy • Optimal policy • Effort allocation for active fisheries
Dealing with complexity • Age-structured dynamic bioeconomic model for salmon • 6 state variables • 6 transition equations (4 different) • 5 decision variables
Analysis • Steady state harvest policy • Optimal effort trajectories for active fisheries
Steady state RI Salmon fisheries • Commercial coastal trapnet (CTN) • 75 000 geardays • (24 000) • 46 663 kg CTN • Recreational river(RI) • 1730 angling days • (8145) • 976 kg
Optimal trajectory Coastal trapnet effort
Optimal trajectory River effort
Extensions • Uncertainty • recruitment • stock measurement • Comparisons to biomass dynamic model
