The future (or potential lack) of cod in the North Sea

This seminar will provide an overview of some of the economic issues relating to stock recovery using cod as the example.

**************

Sean has been involved in natural resource economic research, particularly the development and application of fisheries bioeconomic models, since 1985. A particular area of interest in this field is the development and application of multi-objective models for fisheries analyses. More recently, he focused his research in the field of productivity analysis, and has undertaken studies on capacity utilisation, technical change in fisheries, and the estimation of technical efficiency of fishing vessels. He is particularly interested in developing the use of data envelopment analysis for fisheries productivity analysis. Recent projects that he has been involved in include:

• Technical efficiency in EU fisheries: implications for management using input controls - Project Co-ordinator.
• MOFISH - Multiple objectives in the management of EU Fisheries.
• Measuring capacity in fishing industries using Data Envelopment Analysis.
• Bioeconomic modelling of the fisheries of the English Channel.
• The implications for fisheries management systems for interactions between farmed and wild caught species.
