COASTAL VS. RECREATIONAL FISHERY How the optimal management of the commercial fishery depends on the recreational fishery? What are the implications of ignoring angling and the behavioral complexity of angling? 7 Atso Romakkaniemi 20/07/2016 7
THE BIOECONOMIC MODEL Direct effect: Commercial effort decreases the fish available for anglers Indirect effect: Angling effort decreases the number of spawners Atso Romakkaniemi 20/07/2016 8
MODEL SPECIFICATIONS Age-structured population model Leslie matrix model with 10 age-classes Beverton-Holt stock-recruitment relationship Optimized commercial trap-net fishery Commercial fishermen are profit maximizers Dynamic optimization is used to define the commercial effort through time Recreational fishery Type-specific utilities based on valuation studies Anglers decide whether to stay home or go fishing based on the satisfaction of previous angling trip Socialization defines the frequenzy of angler types through time Atso Romakkaniemi 20/07/2016 9
SOCIAL COMPLEXITY ATTRIBUTES OF 1. EFFORT ORIENTED ANGLERS - Enjoy the nature - Strong preference for solitude Effort oriented 2. CATCH ORIENTED ANGLERS - Prefer to catch something - Slight preference for solitude Catch oriented Atso Romakkaniemi 20/07/2016 10
SCENARIOS 1. No recreational fishing A hypothetical scenario to see what is the optimal level of commercial effort when there is no angling 2. Static recreational fishing A scenario that mimics the current ICES salmon assessment model, where recreational fishing is described by a constant mortality 3. Endogenous recreational fishing with angler behavioral complexity Recreational fishing effort is endogenously changing. Anglers change the frequency of angling trips, dependent on how satisfying each trip is. Atso Romakkaniemi 20/07/2016 11

CONCLUSIONS Summed economic value is greatest under endogenous angling scenario Surprisingly, the highest commercial effort is realized in the Case 3 under complex angler behavior. This is a result of strong competition between the commercial and recreational fishery. When the utility of staying at home is low, it is possible that the fish stock crashes as the number of effort oriented anglers increase Atso Romakkaniemi 20/07/2016 19

ANGLER DECISION MAKING There are aa types of anglers: effort (denoted by f) and catch oriented (denoted by c). Effort per angler (ee aa,tt ) is the number of fishing days (nn aa,tt ) multiplied by fishing motivation (ε aa,tt ): Total type-specific effort depends on the number of anglers (NN aa,tt ) and the effort of single angler (ee aa,tt ): ee aa,tt = ε aa,tt nn aa,tt EE aa,tt = ee aa,tt NN aa,tt Atso Romakkaniemi 20/07/2016 25
