Fisheries biology and economy
Fisheries dependant on
effort,demands,common property resources,
equilibrium;
open-access and hence faces a free entry-
exit procedure
The entry/exit dynamics are linear to the
profitability of the fishery, with increasing
fishing mortality when economic rent
(resource rent) is positive and decreasing
fishing mortality when rent is negative.
Optimal allocation of renewable
resources:

RESULTS and DISCUSSION
Problems to discuss:
Lack of common management
Lack of management plans
Overexploitation and eutrophication
Unknown state of the resources
Lack of bio-economic analyses
Loss of revenue
Unsustainable development
The concept of "economic rent" is a subset of
factor markets that helps explain why some
factors of production receive more income
than others. Economic rent applies not just to
land but to any scarce resource.
Increase of income
from fishery =
economic rent
Open access equilibrium
long-term fish catch supply

equilibrium catch (green curve) X price
function represented by the light blue demand

total revenue from fishery
The intersection of the red revenue curve and the
magenta cost curve represents the open access
equilibrium of this fishery. The connecting dashed
line from this point to the green catch curve and the
demand and supply curves in the upper figure gives
the static solution of this parameter set.

Fisheries management plans
Evaluate the fishery in biological, ecological
and economic sense.
Identify and quantify the objectives and goals
of management
Select the appropriate combination of
performance variables, both biological and
economic, and determine the control
variables that allow achieving the desired
levels in fishery performance criteria.
Determine alternative management strategies and their
mechanisms of implementation, in order to make
operative the control variables previously defined.
(a
) carefully specify the fishery system and the
context in which the model is intended to operate;
(b) elaborate a causal diagram with the recognized
fishery subsystems and the corresponding interface
variables;
(c) build a block diagram to quantitatively define
model subsystems and interactions among them, as
well as exogenous and policy variables and their
impact upon the system.
Monitor the fishery to evaluate the impacts of
alternative management strategies included in the
management plan.
Reevaluate periodically the fishery
Problems
the absence of resource ownership, or ill-
defined property rights.
excessive entry
inefficient spatial distribution of effort,
resource degradation, and the dissipation of
potential rents in fisheries.
Open access fishery - “too many boats
chasing too few fish.”
equilibrium patterns of biomass and effort
across the system to be dependent upon
bioeconomic conditions
Possible solutions
Establish rights on the resources
Individual transferable quotas (ITQs) whereby
fishermen hold a right to a share of a
biologically determined total allowable catch
(TAC).
community development quotas and
harvester cooperatives - Better solution
Encourage aquaculture development
Capacity building - culture to use marine
resources
Fish = Money
Fisheries – demand – revenue
– employment
Ecology – stable – equilibrium –
healthy environment
Conclusions
In the Black Sea, for the analyzed fish stocks the
fishing mortality increasing for the period of last 10
years, as the open access to the fishery together with
lack of comprehensive fisheries management in the
whole basin impose a need for common governance
system introduction. However, the problem of
changing commercial marine living resources is not
simply one of resource fluctuations, together with
their associated socio-economic consequences.
There are huge implications for marine ecology,
biodiversity and the ability of the Sea to process the
nutrient/pollutant loads which it receives.
This paper delves into the scientific research, management, and economy of bioresources in the Black Sea region. It aims to analyze the fisheries, highlight gaps in resource management, propose solutions, and discuss the dynamics of open access fishery stocks such as sprat, whiting, red mullet, and turbot. The material covers data on small-scale fisheries in Bulgarian waters in 2013, and emphasizes the importance of sustainable management for marine living resources in the Black Sea from a global bioeconomy perspective.

Intro: Bioeconomy global perspective H.S. Gordon The economic theory of a common property resource the fishery J. Polit. Econ., 63 (1954), pp. 116 124 Reference paper in natural resource economics input-demand based model to lay out the cause, the process, and the consequences of overexploitation of fisheries resources.
Fisheries biology and economy Fisheries dependant on effort,demands,common property resources, equilibrium; open-access and hence faces a free entry- exit procedure The entry/exit dynamics are linear to the profitability of the fishery, with increasing fishing mortality when economic rent (resource rent) is positive and decreasing fishing mortality when rent is negative.
Optimal allocation of renewable resources: Completely specified in terms of the rights that accompany the property over the resource, the restrictions over those rights, and the penalties corresponding to their violation. Exclusive, so that the person who has those rights will also be responsible for any resource, the and penalties corresponding to the use of the natural resource.
Transferable, in order to have those rights in the hands of those who have the capability to convey them to the highest use value. Effectively enforced, because a non-policed right becomes an empty right.
