TLDR
In this article, bycatch conservation and management can be analyzed and implemented through the biodiversity mitigation hierarchy using one of four basic approaches: (1) private solutions, including voluntary, moral suasion, and intrinsic motivation; (2) direct or "command-and-control" regulation starting from the fishery management authority down to the vessel; (3) incentive- or market-based to alter producer and consumer behaviour and decision-making; and (4) hybrid of direct and incentive-based regulation through liability laws.
Abstract
Fisheries bycatch conservation and management can be analysed and implemented through the biodiversity mitigation hierarchy using one of four basic approaches: (1) private solutions, including voluntary, moral suasion, and intrinsic motivation; (2) direct or “command-and-control” regulation starting from the fishery management authority down to the vessel; (3) incentive- or market-based to alter producer and consumer behaviour and decision-making; and (4) hybrid of direct and incentive-based regulation through liability laws. Lessons can be learned from terrestrial and energy conservation, water management, forestry, atmospheric pollution. General bycatch conservation and management principles emerge.

Marine Mammal Interactions With Fisheries: Review of Research and Management Trends Across Commercial and Small-Scale Fisheries

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted a systematic review to assess the management responses to marine mammal interactions with fisheries, such as bycatch and depredation, are a common occurrence across commercial and small-scale fisheries.

Bycatch rates in fisheries largely driven by variation in individual vessel behaviour

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed variations in threatened species bycatch among individual operators from five industrial fisheries representing different geographic areas, gear types and target species, and found that individual vessel is a significant predictor of bycatch for 15 of the 16 cases, including species that represent high or low costs to fishers or have economic value as potentially targeted byproducts.

Market incentives for shark fisheries

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the shark market development in Brazil over the last decades using demand and cointegration analysis, with a focus on before and after implementation of finning restrictions in 1998.

Credit Systems for Bycatch and Biodiversity Conservation

TL;DR: In this article, an incentive-based credit system for bycatch mitigation is proposed to change vessel behavior and decision-making and allow vessels to flexibly reduce bycatch in a vessel's own, least-cost way.

OUP accepted manuscript

TL;DR: In this paper , a simple management option for optimizing fishing over daily and seasonal scales to maximize catch success while protecting non-target species in pelagic longline fisheries was proposed, and the results suggest that it is feasible to use only fully nocturnal sets to target preferred species while reducing incidental catch of nontarget species.

The Nature of the Firm

Ronald H. Coase
- 01 Nov 1937 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that a definition of a firm may be obtained which is not only realistic in that it corresponds to what is meant by a firm in the real world, but is tractable by two of the most powerful instruments of economic analysis developed by Marshall, the idea of the margin and that of substitution.

Increasing Returns and Long-Run Growth

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a fully specified model of long-run growth in which knowledge is assumed to be an input in production that has increasing marginal productivity, which is essentially a competitive equilibrium model with endogenous technological change.

The Economic Implications of Learning by Doing

TL;DR: It is by now incontrovertible that increases in per capita income cannot be explained simply by increases in the capital-labor ratio as mentioned in this paper, and that knowledge is growing in time.

Effects of Externally Mediated Rewards on Intrinsic Motivation.

TL;DR: Vroom et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effects of external rewards on intrinsic motivation to perform an activity and found that when money was used as an external reward, intrinsic motivation tended to decrease, whereas when verbal reinforcement and positive feedback were used to increase.

Enchantment and Disenchantment: The Role of Community in Natural Resource Conservation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the conceptual origins of the community, and the ways the term has been deployed in writings on resource use, and analyze those aspects of community most important to advocates for community's role in resource management.
