Fisherman behavior
• Adaptability– Fishing is fraught with physical and financial
risk and is undertaken in a constantly changing environment.
– Successful fishermen exhibit an ability to change their behavior with varying conditions and information.
– Learning and communication are critical components of fishing activity.

Fisherman behavior
• Adaptability– How do fishermen learn about their
environment? How does this affect their efficiency and success?
– How are risk behaviors and decision paradigms set?
– Do these factors change significantly over seasons, over years, or as catch is (or is not) accumulated?

Research
• Heterogeneous effort distribution– Satisficer-optimizer continuum
• Learning & memory– Bayesian updating
• Communication– Information exchange matrix

Heterogeneous effort distribution

Effort distribution model
• Random fishing probabilities (~U [0,1]) applied to each fisherman in fleet– Probably closer to an
exponential or highly skewed gamma distribution
• Variable weather• Temporal closures

Effort distribution model
• Utility Function to decide most attractive patch
• where:F = “attractiveness” weight applied to patch
D = distance of patch from home port

Effort distribution model
• We let the utility function be probabilities and treat as a cdf– Sort probabilities in ascending order– Keep track of corresponding patch numbers

Effort distribution model
• If a fisherman decides to go fishing we draw a (constrained) random number and find the corresponding value (inverse CDF) in the range 1:Npatches (# of patches)

Effort distribution model
• Determine whether or not each fisherman in the fleet goes fishing– decision paradigm– weather, temporal closures, gear maintenance
• Determine where each fisherman goes fishing– patch attractiveness– information & learning (eventually)
• Determine "attractiveness" of each patch for next day– count number of "hits" to each patch & reduce abundance– attractiveness should increase at first as a patch is exploited and
then decrease as fish are removed
• Loop over the year• Loop over multiple years

Learning, memory, and communication
![Page 18: Modeling fishermen behavior in the Santa Barbara Channel Islands geog.Mike & econ.John .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649d605503460f94a41c05/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Learning, memory, and communication
• Learning Information received from an individual’s daily fishing effort
• Communication Information received from the rest of the fleet
• Bayesian updating:– Modify an individual’s belief about the
environment if they go fishing– Influence their decision the following day
based on the beliefs of the entire fleet
![Page 19: Modeling fishermen behavior in the Santa Barbara Channel Islands geog.Mike & econ.John .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649d605503460f94a41c05/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

SNS
Good signals (Sa > α0) increase expected abundance at site a Noisy signals (large σ2
s) are given less weight
α = abundance (α0 = mean)Sa = signal, which is normally distributed
A fisherman updates beliefs about abundance after acquiring signal Sa from visiting site a. These updated beliefs follow a normal distribution.

Communication
• Information exchange matrix– Allen and McGlade,
1987
• Matrix of “how well” and with whom information is shared between each member of fleet
• No sharing• Perfect sharing• Imperfect sharing• Ignore information• Developing sharing
“weights”– Mean of guy that’s gone
200 times vs. mean of guy that’s only gone once
– Variance of signal has an effect on “confidence in the signal”
