Economic incentives for more sustainable fishing?. The case of haddock in coastal Norway
This study investigates whether market-based incentives can promote more sustainable fishing practices in the Norwegian haddock fishery. Using 46,213 ex-vessel transactions from demersal seiners in northern Norway (2019–2023), we estimate a hedonic price model to assess whether a price premium for live-landed haddock, a proxy for superior product quality, can encourage fishers to adopt quality-enhancing methods. Results show a significant 23 perc…
Can eco-labels tune a supply chain? The case of MSC-certified haddock from Norway
The structure of Norwegian seafood trade
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…
Certify or not? The effect of the MSC certification on the ex-vessel prices for Atlantic cod in Norway
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…
Quality-enhancing fishing in the coastal fishery for Atlantic cod in Norway
In the important coastal fishery for Atlantic cod in Norway quality-based pricing is largely absent. Thus, driven by a focus on fish quantity, not quality, a high share of downgraded fish is landed. This study identified some encouraging exceptions with actors trying to align incentives and increase revenues in both fishing and processing. More specifically, we examine two cases involving quality-enhancing fishing and find indications of substant…
Large-scale fisheries during the Covid-19 pandemic
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…
Fish quality and market performance
This study focuses on fish quality and resource utilization at the ex-vessel level of the value chain. Substantial waste in the form of reduced fish quality is revealed for Atlantic cod landed by the coastal fleet in Norway, with approximately 30% of the sampled cod from 399 catches downgraded, implying reduced value of products in onshore processing. By using an objective quality index for individual catches in hedonic price modeling, we obtain …
