Abstract: A feature of fisheries that distinguishes them from most other industries is the level of control imposed on the production process. Previous studies have identified inefficiency in fisheries that is directly related to the management restrictions. The development of Slack-based measure (SBM) models allows the effects of management distortions to be further investigated through consideration of input and output mix efficiency. In this paper, the mix efficiency of a fleet operating in a multispecies fishery is examined. The results indicate that inefficiencies exist in the mix of inputs, which have developed as a consequence of the management restrictions imposed. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2006
