| Title: | ANALYZING TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC INTERRELATIONSHIPS IN HAWAII'S LONGLINE FISHERY |

| Abstract: | This paper provides an analysis of technical and economic interrelationships among species harvested in Hawaii's pelagic longline fishery. The results indicate that this multispecies fishery is characterized by a joint production process, meaning that the regulation of one species would affect the harvest of other species. It implies that a single species regulation may not be appropriate in managing the longline fishery. Estimates of own-price output supply elasticities suggest that fisher's decisions on the amounts of each species harvested are independent of own expected prices. However, as evidenced by the estimates of cross-price elasticities, there are a number of significant technical-economic interactions among species. Failing to reject the null hypothesis of input-output separability suggests that management of the entire fishery as a whole by partial area/seasonal closure or by a 'limited entry' system as in the past is justified instead of regulating a few key species. |
