The unexpected implications of shrinking fish populations
Why human behaviour is the wild card of economics.
“When I say I'm an economist, people expect I'll talk about monetary policy and interest rates,” says Dr Satoshi Yamazaki, a senior lecturer and researcher at the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics.
On the contrary, as an environmental economist with a focus on marine resources, Dr Yamazaki’s research has nothing to do with banking, and everything to do with fisheries management.
Putting his research into context, Dr Yamazaki explains: “Economics is actually about studies on human behaviour and how we manage scarce resources.”
Given that 55% of the world's oceans are now being fished, covering an area more than four times the size of that used for agriculture, it’s hardly surprising that wild-caught fish are an increasingly scarce resource. And it's not only biodiversity at stake.
“The depletion of fish stocks has many different implications,” says Dr Yamazaki, whose work focusses on both large-scale and small-scale commercial fisheries.
Both types of fisheries provide employment and food globally, and on a huge scale. In some developing countries, people rely on fish for up to 50% of the animal protein in their diet.
When it comes to developing strategies for the management of fisheries, the real wild card is how fishers will respond to changes in the environment, such as shrinking fish populations. That’s where the study of capricious human behaviour, through an economic lens, comes into play, and where much of Dr Yamazaki's research on small-scale fisheries is directed.
“When the stocks are depleted in a particular area, how the community members respond is one of my main interests,” he says.
“If you go to developing countries, or even coastal rural areas in Japan, the way they interact with the fisheries is quite significant,” he says.
It’s also often surprising, as the findings of his research in the Kei Islands of Indonesia illustrate.
“In the beginning we thought that, when the stock is depleted, the competition would become severe and that would result in conflict, but our result was the opposite,” Dr Yamazaki explains.
“In terms of intra-village conflict, we found that when people have a perception of declining fishing resources, they actually cooperate more to cope with this difficult situation.”
There were, however, increased levels of conflict between villages on the islands.
And in Japan’s Maizuru Bay, Dr Yamazaki and a local Japanese researcher found that fishers had been able to maintain their income despite the loss of a clam species that had been the mainstay of the local fishing industry for generations. On further investigation, it transpired that they had managed this by either catching other species, such as sea cucumbers, or branching out into aquaculture and cultivating oysters.
Dr Yamazaki wants to expand on this by looking at the trade-offs for maintaining income, such as having to invest more in equipment or work longer hours.
Through this and other studies in Asia, he is shining a light on the under-researched area of small-scale fisheries, and the complex social and economic implications of declining fish stocks in these communities.
Dr Satoshi Yamazaki is a senior lecturer of economics at the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics. His research has focused on environmental and resource economics, particularly in relation to the management of ocean fisheries and how the use of marine resources is related to the development of coastal communities in developing countries (particularly in Indonesia and other Asia-Pacific regions).

- Description
- The project aims to estimate the economic value of the recreational freshwater fishery in Tasmania. Freshwater fishing represents a critically important outdoor recreational activity for local residents. Every year, over 25,000 people participate in fishing in Tasmanian inland waters. The freshwater fishing sector also attracts approximately 6,000 international and interstate anglers to visit Tasmania, making a significant contribution to Tasmanias tourism industry.

- Description
- The commercial fishery for Centrostephanus rodgersii sea urchins in Tasmania has been subsidised through the Tasmanian Abalone Council for around 2.5 seasons at a cost of $0.75/kg in an effort to control increasing population numbers. Recent significant increases in total commercial catch have necessitated an evaluation of expenditure on the urchin harvest subsidy. This project will evaluate the existing spatial and economic effectiveness of the subsidy and investigate various possible future structures for the subsidy, including spatial and seasonal price structuring and the effect of possible removal or gradual reductions in the subsidy. Areas where knowledge is lacking and targeted data collection will be identified to provide guidance for future subsidy decisions.Our aims are the following: - Evaluate the existing subsidy structure and its effectiveness at achieving its original goals - Gather information from divers and processors (through survey) to identify key challenges in harvesting process, and what incentives or changes could lead to improved harvesting efficiency - Test possible alternative structures for subsidy, including reduction or cessation - Identify key areas of data collection (including method) needed to best assess the subsidy program over the next 1-3 years and to allow the formulation of an optimal urchin harvest strategy

- Description
- This project seeks to describe (and model) the relationships between fisher behaviour, stock status and management intervention in the east coast rock lobster fishery. This will be used to develop a management framework to support the rebuilding of the east coast rock lobster stocks, recognizing that traditional management approaches are expected to become less effective at controlling the catch as the east coast stocks recover.

- Description
- Achieving maximum net economic returns, or maximum economic yield (MEY), as it has been operationalised in current policy, in fisheries requires two key aspects to be considered. First, some indication of the target is required. That is, what is the optimal level of biomass, effort and harvest level in the fishery? Second, a management instrument and harvest strategy is required that will achieve MEY. Defining a target may not result in it being achieved if the management instrument is not appropriate. Given this, the project will consider four key issues: 1) how do we determine MEY?; 2) How do we know how we are tracking in relation to MEY in data poor fisheries? 3) effectiveness of alternative management approaches to move a fishery towards MEY, particularly when information is limited; and 4) development of a framework to operationalise the methodology developed in this project.
