RESOURCES AND PUBLICATIONS

 

The Resources and Publications section consists of three main parts:

EFIN Reports and Papers This section contains miscellaneous papers and reports created by this program.
Other Economic Reports and Papers This section contains economic papers and reports that other researchers have shared with EFIN and made available via our website.
Links to External Resources and Publication Databases These are databases and other resources that we feel are useful to fisheries economists.
Bibliographies
Two separate lists that include many social and economic references. You may use your browser's find feature to help you locate keywords within each list.

We welcome suggestions for additional resources! To add your resource, simply send email to efin@psmfc.org.

Description of the U.S. West Coast Commercial Fishing Fleet and Seafood Processors

The fishing fleet making landings at ports in the states of Washington, Oregon, and California has changed dramatically in recent years due to changes in fish resource levels, fishery management plan amendments, and market forces. Vessels have had to switch to other than their primary fisheries, and many times several different fisheries, to sustain revenue levels. Many vessel owners have simply elected to quit commercial fishing. This project is to describe the trends and characteristics of the U.S. West Coast fishing fleet and processors to show how numbers, revenues, and participation in fisheries has changed. A special analysis was completed to find descriptive vessel and processor categories. The classification scheme used 1997 landing data to determine the vessel and processor categories.
