  • Brexsea Trade and Uncertainty

    Open AccessNita Santika, Atle Øglend et al.ARTICLEWorld Economy2025

    This paper investigates the effect of the Brexit referendum on Norwegian firms' exports of fresh seafood to the United Kingdom. We exploit the referendum as a quasi‐natural experiment to investigate the effect of an uncertainty shock in trade on export values, volumes, and prices, as well as market entry and exit. First, we find that Norwegian firms experienced an average 2% decrease in total export value resulting from the referendum, suggesting…

  • Environmental impacts and food loss and waste in the U.S. aquatic food system

    Open AccessDavid C Love, Mark T Brown et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2025References: 1

    Aquatic foods vary widely in energy use, GHGe, and blue water use. • All forms of sockeye salmon, frozen Alaska pollock, and canned tuna had the lowest overall environmental impacts. • 22–24% of the energy, GHGe, and blue water in aquatic food systems is lost to food waste. Aquatic food systems support global food and nutrition security, livelihoods, and economies, but put significant environmental pressure on the planet. The United States (U.S.)…

  • Can eco-labels tune a supply chain? The case of MSC-certified haddock from Norway

  • Crisis averted

    Open AccessAtle Øglend, Frank Asche et al.ARTICLEWorld Economy2024

    This article investigates cross‐market reallocation of trade to mitigate negative effects of large economic shocks. We propose a simple measure of trade reallocation and apply it to Norwegian exports during the great trade collapse following the financial crisis in 2008–2009. The results indicate statistically significant cross‐market reallocation of trade away from markets hit hard by the crisis as measured by GDP/growth. Norwegian exports decli…

  • Does seafood trade enhance seafood availability in developing countries? The case of Nigeria

    Open AccessCharlotte Marin, Olugbenga Michael Adewumi et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2024

    Seafood is a highly traded food group. Moreover, the trade is controversial, and particularly in relation to developing countries. To proponents, trade provides a source of food, nutrition and economic development, while for opponents, it is an example of how the rich take food out of the mouths of the poor. Review articles provide no clear conclusions with respect to the merit of the seafood trade, suggesting that the picture is nuanced and that…

  • The economic contribution of U.S. seafood imports throughout the value chain

    Open AccessJoão-Pedro Ferreira, João Pedro Ferreira et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2024

  • The structure of Norwegian seafood trade

    Open AccessHans-Martin Straume, Frank Asche et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2024

    While seafood is a highly traded commodity, lack of data has largely prevented examination of the firms and industries that are conducting the actual transactions. In this paper we use highly disaggregated data to provide an overview of the seafood exports from Norway, the world’s 2nd largest seafood exporting country, and a country where fisheries as well as aquaculture are important industries. The industry has a global reach with Norwegian sea…

  • The Covid-19 impacts on the European Union aquaculture sector

    Open AccessRasmus Nielsen, Villasante et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    There have been a number of indications of strong negative impacts of Covid-19 and the preventive measures associated with the pandemic for all food sectors. However, there is increasing evidence that the picture is quite nuanced where the Covid related measures are creating challenges for some and opportunities for others. In this paper we investigate the impacts of Covid-19 on the aquaculture sector in the European Union using two approaches; a…

  • Use of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess management alternatives in the presence of multiple objectives

    Open AccessSean Pascoe, Toni Cannard et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    Marine ecosystem-based management often aims to satisfy a wide range of economic, social and environmental objectives. These are often measured in non-commensurable units, making identification of a preferred option difficult when outcomes and measures vary considerably. In this paper, we examine the potential for data envelopment analysis (DEA) as an alternative approach to traditional multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). We derive multi-out…

  • Certify or not? The effect of the MSC certification on the ex-vessel prices for Atlantic cod in Norway

    Open AccessJulia Bronnmann, Frank Asche et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2023Cited by: 3References: 4

    There is strong evidence that ecolabeled seafood commands a price premium in the retail market in Northern European countries. At the same time, there is significant uncertainty as to whether these markups are passed on to the fishers. This is important because producer benefits are required for an ecolabel to provide incentives for sustainable fishery management and fishing practices. Therefore, we investigate whether fishers obtained price prem…

  • Aquaculture policy

    Open AccessTonje C Osmundsen, Marit Schei Olsen et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2022

    Public regulation of a successful industry such as aquaculture needs to consider different concerns such as industry growth and development, but also environmental and societal sustainability. Governance systems are continuously challenged to respond in adequate manners to how aquaculture industry develops. This is especially noticeable when it comes to how environmental challenges are handled. In this article, we investigate three different envi…

  • Large-scale fisheries during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessFrank Asche, Geir Sogn‐Grundvåg et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2022

    Small-scale fisheries have received most of the attention in the literature investigating negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on seafood production. Larger fishing vessels are often perceived to be more resilient as they are better able to alter harvest patterns in response to supply shocks than smaller, less mobile vessels. In addition, larger fishing vessels often deliver storable frozen products contributing to resiliency. The supply and…

  • Global markets and the commons

    Open AccessFrank Asche, Atle Øglend et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The commons literature focuses heavily on rules and the behavior of resource users but places less emphasis on the returns to individual effort. However, for most resource settings, market conditions and associated resource prices are key drivers of exploitation effort. In a globalized world, import competition can strongly influence the incentives for individual resource users, a topic largely unexplored in the commons literature. Import competi…

  • Tools of the trade

    Open AccessFrank Asche, Atle Øglend et al.ARTICLEEmpirical Economics2021

    Access to highly disaggregated trade data allows for a more nuanced investigation of different margins of trade, and the factors known to influence them. In this paper, the number of importers and shipments to each importer is investigated together with the more traditional margins. Potential explanatory factors of these trade margins are combined from three literature strands in addition to the standard gravity variables; firm productivity, per-…

  • The growth and decline of fisheries communities

    Open AccessAudun Iversen, Frank Asche et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2020

    In several countries, maintaining the population of fisheries dependent communities are of major importance in the fisheries governance system. However, most studies investigating the relationship between fisheries and communities have a qualitative focus on the impact of fisheries policies on the communities. We have access to data on population and key employment indicators of every Norwegian municipality in addition to fisheries catch, landing…

  • The operationalisation of sustainability

    Open AccessTonje C Osmundsen, Vilde Steiro Amundsen et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2019Cited by: 5References: 9

    Sustainability certification has become an increasingly important feature in aquaculture production, leading to a multitude of schemes with various criteria. However, the large number of schemes and the complexity of the standards creates confusion with respect to which sustainability objectives are targeted. As a result, what is meant by ‘sustainability’ is unclear. In this paper, we examine the operationalisation of the concept from the vantage…
