Abstract

This article analyzes fishing location choices made by pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) fishermen fishing off the coast of northern California. Data were gathered for 17 commercial vessels making 3000 net sets over a season. A simple multiple-choice logit model was used to examine whether recent information on success in various regions aids in explaining location choice. Results suggest that fishermen do account for economic factors in a manner consistent with economic theories of choice.
