| Research Abstract |
Modern fishing industry has been developing rapidly in Indonesia, frequently causing a conflict with traditional fisheries. This study analyzes price formulation mechanism in tuna and other major products using foreign and domestic market data. Our study shows that the long-run supply curve of tuna is characterized as a backward bending supply curve, which represents an increase in the marginal cost of tuna catching due to resource depletion. The increase in tuna price provides additional economic incentive for fisheries development, making resource management hard to control.
