Abstract Fishery management measures often aim to regulate harvesting behavior but can have downstream effects on fish processors, output markets, and consumers. Empirical analysis of these impacts is generally limited due to data availability. In this article, we utilize census costs and earnings data to examine operational characteristics and economic outcomes for shorebased processors before and after implementation of the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program. While the overall number of buyers of catch share species along the coast decreased and fish input prices generally increased, patterns in outcomes were different for processors with Pacific whiting operations compared to those that produce nonwhiting groundfish, including lengthened seasonal whiting operations but a decrease in the number of days receiving nonwhiting groundfish. These differences in outcomes illustrate the complexities involved in the management of multispecies fisheries with heterogeneous participants in both the harvest and post-harvest sectors. This review contributes to the fairly limited empirical work on the fish processing sector, which is an integral part of the seafood supply chain and important to the economic resilience of coastal fishing communities.

岸基处理器结果受到追捧

摘要 渔业管理措施通常旨在规范捕捞行为，但会对鱼类加工商、产出市场和消费者产生下游影响。由于数据的可用性，对这些影响的实证分析通常是有限的。在本文中，我们利用人口普查成本和收益数据来检查实施西海岸底层鱼拖网捕捞份额计划前后岸基加工商的运营特征和经济成果。虽然沿海渔获份额物种的购买者总数减少，鱼类投入价格普遍上涨，但与生产非鳕底层鱼的加工商相比，太平洋鳕鱼加工商的结果模式不同，包括延长季节性鳕鱼作业，但减少接收非鳕底层鱼的天数。结果的这些差异说明了多物种渔业管理的复杂性，在收获和收获后部门都有不同的参与者。本次审查有助于对鱼类加工部门进行相当有限的实证工作，该部门是海产品供应链的一个组成部分，对沿海渔业社区的经济弹性很重要。
