A sociological analysis of fishing regulation conflicts : an ethnographic studyDwyer, Jennifer A. 01 May 1997 (has links)
This is an investigative, descriptive study that explored fishing regulation conflicts between commercial fishermen and fishery resource management agencies. The purpose of the study was to develop a rich picture of the conflict phenomenon and apply sociological theory in order to illuminate the underlying structures and functions which contribute to the conflict. Ethnographic methods and guided conversations were used to collect data. The themes which emerged centered around issues of inequity, inadequate representation, poor communication, politics and bureaucracy. It was found that the bureaucratic structure of the regulatory decision making process unevenly distributes power and control. It is suggested that processes and
management approaches which involve all of the stakeholders in a decision making system which is not hierarchical in structure may help alleviate some of the conflict between commercial fishermen and fishery resource management agencies. / Graduation date: 1997

Assemblages of groundfish caught using commercial fishing strategies off the coasts of Oregon and Washington from 1985-1987Rogers, Jean Beyer 23 February 1994 (has links)
The groundfish trawl fishery operating off the coasts of Oregon
and Washington 1985-1987 caught six major assemblages of species
which could be treated as units in developing mixed-species
management plans. Eighty-one percent of the tows observed on
commercial vessels were consistently placed in one of the assemblage
designations using three multivariate techniques. Two of the
assemblages were dominated by a single species, pink shrimp (Pandalus
jordani) or widow rockfish (Sebastes entomelas). The other
assemblages identified were: a deepwater rockfish assemblage, a
deepwater Dover sole assemblage, a nearshore mixed-species
assemblage, and a bottom rockfish assemblage. The assemblage
designations of the consistently placed tows were predicted with an
estimated 85% average accuracy using discriminant functions based on
the gear used and bottom depth fished. Fishermen had different
targets (intended catch) for each assemblage caught. The mixed-species
assemblages had several targets, representing at least some
of the dominant species in the assemblage. Targeting and discarding
information indicated that fishermen did not always intend to catch
the species together; there were unintentional or unavoidable catches
of all the major species except for shrimp in the shrimp assemblage.
Discarding occurred in all the assemblages, primarily due to
unmarketable species or fish that were too small to market.
Monitoring the assemblages over time could be accomplished by using
the defined strategies with logbook data, particularly if the large
and small rockfish categories were used to consistently separate
shelf and deepwater rockfish. The defined strategies could not
effectively predict the research cruise assemblages or catches;
research data do not accurately describe commercial catches. / Graduation date: 1994
