Case study 3, Approach 6, Analysis of the total costs of assessment and management of salmon in Baltic countries

This approach involves the estimation of the assessment and management costs of Baltic salmon, to be used in the evaluation of the performance and costs of different assessment-management alternatives (Approach 1).

The available cost data have been compiled in the report by Shivarov et al. (2005) (months 1-18), but the data have not been used in any further analyses.

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to examine the costs of managing the Baltic salmon fishery. To achieve we first review the theoretical framework about the costs of managing fisheries. Second, we describe the management system governing the Baltic salmon fishery. Finally, we estimate the costs of managing the Baltic salmon fishery based on the available data.
