Implications of Private Salmon Aquaculture on Prices, Production, and Management of Salmon Resources
通过动态非线性规划模型，分析太平洋西北地区大型鲑鱼养殖场在竞争性开放捕捞渔业中的行为，评估其对鲑鱼价格、自然种群、捕捞努力量和渔业生产力的影响。
Abstract The emergence of large‐scale salmon ranching in the Pacific Northwest has led to significant controversy over the potential impact of salmon ranching on market structure, salmon prices, ocean and aquacultural production, and salmon fishing regulation. This paper models the behavior of a dominant salmon rancher facing a competitive open‐access fishery using a dynamic nonlinear programming model. Primary attention is given to production and regulation‐influencing strategies of an optimally managed salmon ranch under selected institutional and biological constraints. The effect of such behavior is evaluated with regard to salmon prices, natural salmon stocks, ocean fishing effort, and ocean fishery productivity.
