Descripción
This study explores the economics of trawler operations in the ,
Pacific groundfish fishery along the coasts of Washington and
British Columbia. The fleet is composed of small draggers
(mean length 56 feet), based in Puget Sound ports. These vessels
earned an average 3.5 thousand dollars before taxes, per year,
in 1968 and 1969. Linear regression analysis has been applied to
measure the dependence of revenues, costs, and crew earnings on
vessel characteristics and annual fishing actiVity. An additional
trip during . a year wouls.21 add about 3.3. thousand dollars to vessel
earnings before taxes. The average crew earnings of $13,312 per
man would be increased by 8.5 percent.
