In fisheries management, ex-ante analysis of fishermen's preferences can provide reliable insights into specific characteristics of regulatory alternatives that are desirable, objectionable, or important, in the judgement of fishermen. This knowledge could facilitate consideration by fishery managers of additional regulatory alternatives with high likelihoods of meeting program objectives, minimal disruption to fishing operations and lifestyles, and high levels of acceptance and compliance from the fishing fleet. In this case study, we interviewed Pacific halibut fishermen (n = 76) in four communities across Southeast Alaska, to document their preferences about different types of data collection methods on their vessels. We demonstrate how to use interviewing to gather preference data from a relatively small group of fishermen and get a reliable snapshot of preferences across an entire region. Pairwise comparisons from interviews were analyzed using a three-stage analytic hierarchy process model. Results characterize the variability of fishermen's preferences about data collection methods.
在渔业管理中,对渔民偏好的事前分析可以为监管替代方案的具体特征提供可靠的见解,这些特征在渔民的判断中是可取的、不可取的或重要的。这些知识可以促进渔业管理者考虑更多具有较高满足计划目标、对捕捞作业和生活方式最小干扰以及捕捞船队高度接受和遵守的监管替代方案。在这个案例研究中,我们采访了阿拉斯加东南部四个社区的太平洋大比目鱼渔民(n=76),记录了他们对船上不同类型数据收集方法的偏好。我们展示了如何使用访谈从相对较少的渔民群体中收集偏好数据,并在整个地区获得可靠的偏好快照。访谈的成对比较使用三阶段层次分析模型进行分析。结果描述了渔民对数据收集方法偏好的可变性。
