“…These differences can also be due to dissimilarities in technical efficiency, i.e. the degree to which the potential output given the variable and fixed inputs employed is achieved (Pascoe et al, 2001;Tingley et al, 2003).…”

“…To overcome this problem, zero revenues were replaced by a nominal D 0.1. This did not distort the capacity output substantially, but it allowed for a better estimate of capacity output since it was not possible to expand the revenue from a zero base (Pascoe et al, 2001).…”

“…Apart from measuring efficiency, applications using DEA have been recommended by FAO (1998) from the late1990s onwards to measure also fishing capacity (Kirkley and Squires, 1999;Pascoe et al, 2001b;Kirkley et al, 2002;Reid et al, 2003;Vestergaard et al, 2003). Although several studies compare results obtained with parametric and non-parametric techniques as well as with some of their variants (Van den Broek et al, 1980;Hjalmarsson et al, 1996;Reinhard et al, 2000;Huang and Wang, 2002), comparative studies for fisheries are so far lacking.…”

R. 2004. Determination of technical efficiency of fisheries by stochastic frontier models: a case on the Gulf of Cádiz (Spain). e ICES Journal of Marine Science, 61: 416e421.We give a broad review of a variety of econometric procedures to estimate technical efficiency and compare the results of several of them based on an application to the purseseine fishery operating in the Gulf of Cádiz in 1998 and 1999. As these approaches provide different technical efficiency estimates, they might have different policy implications. Two conclusions are obtained: firstly, the higher the useful life of vessels is, the smaller the technical efficiency is; and secondly, the present total allowable catch regime based only on vessels larger than 12 m is unsuitable for this fishery.

“…Kirkley et al, 1995Kirkley et al, , 1998Pascoe et al, 2001a). These studies have not just been focused on efficiency in itself but also on the factors affecting efficiency (Pascoe and Coglan, 2002) or on estimates of capacity utilization (Pascoe et al, 2001b;Vestergaard et al, 2002) or technical change. However, efficiency analysis has not been used so far to compare the profitability of alternative fisheries.…”

Herrero, I. 2004. Risk and strategy of fishers alternatively exploiting sea bream and tuna in the Gibraltar Strait from an efficiency perspective. e ICES Journal of Marine Science, 61: 211e217.While in the last few years interest in efficiency analyses has increased among fisheries economists, efficiency analyses have not been used so far to compare the profitability of alternative fisheries. We compared the profitability of the sea bream fishery and the tuna fishery, both operating in the South of Spain (Gibraltar Strait), based on an efficiency analysis and on a comparison of the efficient frontiers of the two fisheries. Results for 2002 show that, even if the sea bream is a higher-value species than tuna, the profitability of the latter is higher. However, sea bream still appears to be the target species of the fleet whereas the tuna fishery appears only as an alternative fishery.The key reason appears to be that the latter involves more risk than the former. The management of each fishing vessel seems related to the management strategy of the captain and to his assessments of risk.
