Fisheries Economics and the Mackerel Dispute
- Details
On January 30, 2014, ISET hosted Dr. Rognvaldur Hannesson from the Norwegian School of Economics. Dr.Hannesson gave a presentation on the somewhat unusual topic of Fisheries Economics.
Fish resources represent a form of natural capital and fishing is a potential source of wealth for many coastal, island and inland countries. Unlike other natural resources, fish do not inhabit just one place or, in this case, water reservoir, they flow from one to another depending on the season. Fish stock generally flows in a circle, returning back to its initial place after a period of time. However, no single country is able to control this process.
