Abstract
Variations in the effecinecy of demersal trawlers operationg in the English Channel were examined through the estimation of a stochastic frontier production function. The most important measurable factor. The most important measurable factor affecting efficiency was the age of the vessel.HOwever, Unmeasurable factors accounted for about 65% of varitions in the efficiency, and as much as 9% of the total variation in catches between boats. IT is postulated that most of this variation was due to differences in skipper and crew skill. In contrast,"luck" accounted for around 11% of the variation in catches between boats.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
