<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG><FONT
size=3>Abstract</FONT></STRONG><BR>There are tradeoffs in managing fisheries,
and ideally such tradeoffs should be known when setting fisheries policies. An
aspect of this, which is rarely considered, is the spin-off effect of different
fisheries: the economic and social benefits that fisheries generate through
processing through distribution and on to the end consumer. This study evaluated
the benefits generated in the Peruvian marine fisheries sector through a
comprehensive value chain analysis, based on a newly-developed combined
ecosystemeconomic modeling approach, which was integrated in the widely-used
Ecopath with Ecosim approach and software. The value chain was parameterized by
extensive data collection through 35 enterprise types covering the marine
fisheries sector in Peru, including the world's biggest single-species fishery
for anchoveta. While anchoveta is what is known about Peruvian fisheries, <U>the
study finds that anchoveta accounts for only 31% of the sector contribution to
GDP and for only 23% of the employment. </U>Thus, while anchoveta indeed is the
fundamental fish species in the Peruvian ecosystem, <U>there are other fisheries
to be considered for management.</U> The study indicates that the economic
multipliers for Peruvian fisheries were 2.9 on average over the industry, and
that these varied surprisingly little between fleets and<BR>between seafood
categories indicating that the multipliers can be used beyond Peru to generalize
the spin-off effect of the value chain. Employment multipliers vary much more
across types of fisheries, but also around an average of 2.9; here it was clear
that longer value chains result in more employment.<BR></FONT></DIV>
