| Title: | An Examination of Fishing Location Choice in the Pink Shrimp Fishery |
| Authors: | Eales, James S.

| Abstract: | This article analyzes fishing location choices made by pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) fishermen fishing off the coast
of northern California. Data were gathered for 17 commercial vessels making 3000 net sets over a season. A simple multiple-choice
logit model was used to examine whether recent information on success in various regions aids in explaining location
choice. Results suggest that fishermen do account for economic factors in a manner consistent with economic theories of choice. |
