Abstract
  • The Alaska non-pollock multi-species catcher processor trawl fishery, referred to as the Amendment 80 fishery since 2008, is an endlessly fascinating subject from the perspective of an economist. A diverse group of companies and vessels, emphasizing different species mixes from a multi-species ecosystem, targets fish across the Eastern Bering Sea, the Aleutian Islands, and the Gulf of Alaska. Significant attention has been given by economists and others to the fishery's fishing behavior, bycatch management, Steller sea lion protection, and rationalization. Here we look back at the long-term changes that have occurred in the fishery and present a selection of the key empirical results that we have learned on how fishers have adapted. We also discuss current challenges and on-going research focused on building structural models that will allow us to better predict the impacts of future management actions.
