Concerns that additional supplies of U.S. farm-raised fish may compete with domestic wild fish has contributed to resistance and litigation that has slowed aquaculture development in the U.S. We employ a contingent choice experiment to large seafood wholesalers and suppliers in the U.S. to investigate market potential of new farmed finfish species from the Gulf of Mexico. We estimate probabilities

The U.S. catfish aquaculture industry has undergone a continuous and alarming contraction over the last 15 years or so. The rapid increase in cheaper imports, which has coincided with the decline in the domestic catfish farming industry, is being blamed by industry commentators as a major cause of the decline.

The Norwegian salmon farming sector has experienced an increase in industry concentration for the last 20 years attributed to agglomeration externalities and scale economies; big firms increase their size and market share while small firms remain operating at the minimum level. However, small firms have higher profitability ratios than their bigger counterparts, a fact that contradicts economic theory

Geographical concentration of industries tends to be important for firms that depend on innovation and are intensive in the use of specialized technology and labor. In this paper, we investigate the interaction between agglomeration and trade performance in the Norwegian aquaculture industry. We include a variable for regional clustering in a standard gravity model and estimate its impact on different

Abstract This study address whether different sustainability initiatives by the companies listed at the Oslo Seafood Index impact company value. With signaling theory as framework, it is argued that sustainability reports and other initiatives may contribute to reduce the information asymmetry between managers and equity holders. Using financial data from the company’s annual reports in combination
