Research Areas

Research in the area of fisheries and aquacultural economics began in 1980 with work on bioeconomic interaction between aquaculture and the common property salmon fishery. Since then numerous research projects have been undertaken and have included topics related to salmon aquaculture, marketing and trade, the Japanese market for herring roe and salmon, the U.S. mussel market, seafood safety, and seafood price forecasting. Current research topics continue to focus on seafood price forecasting, analysis of seafood markets, auctions, market structure and other pricing mechanisms, and the relationship between the seafood market and environmental policies and regulation.
