The present paper, based  on an EU-funded project, attempts to shed light on this issue by  examining the economics of an artisanal fishery operating in an area of  NW Sicily from which trawlers have been excluded. The main issues  examined relate to the financial performance of trammel net vessels,  focussing especially on (i) current profitability levels, (ii) financial  implications of changes in catch rates, (iii) financial viability of  capital investment and (iv comparative performance of vessels inside and  outside the trawl ban area.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;div style=&quot;float: left; margin-top: 3px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:Whitmarsh@port.ac.uk?subject=Request%20a%20document%20by%20email&quot;&gt; Whitmarsh@port.ac.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</style></custom1><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;1&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;20&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
