Associate ProfessorSatoshi Yamazaki

Dr Satoshi Yamazaki is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Tasmania, Australia, with over 20 years of experience in environmental and natural resource economics.

His research focuses on fisheries economics, marine policy, and sustainable resource management. His work integrates ecological, economic, and social perspectives to better understand how communities and industries interact with marine resources, and how policy can balance conservation and livelihoods.

Spanning diverse geographic regions―from tropical to polar zones―his research covers a wide range of topics, including productivity analysis, the development and application of bioeconmic models, and the valuation of conservation interventions and recreational fisheries. He has also worked extensively on the socio-economic dimensions of small-scale fisheries, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, addressing issues related to community-based coastal resource management, fish trade, and the economic well-being of households and coastal communities.

His work has appeared in leading journals and contributes to policy debates on sustainable fisheries management and marine conservation. His approach combines rigorous quantitative methods with attention to community perspectives, aiming to develop practical solutions for fisheries management in the face of environmental and economic changes.
