    Creator:
    Baker, Rachel
    Abstract:
    Four commercial fisheries off Alaska’s coast are managed by transferable quota systems. Implementation of each quota program was controversial, and two programs were mandated by federal legislation rather than standard rulemaking procedure. Pacific halibut and sablefish are managed by individual harvest quota programs, which were designed to maintain a predominantly...

  • Possible Stakeholder Conflicts in Quota Regulated Fisheries

    Creator:
    Matthíasson, Þórólfur
    Abstract:
    Fisheries economists and fishery scientists have forcefully argued that access to fisheries has to be restricted so as to increase stock size, harvest and/or profitability compared to what would be the results of free access. Fisheries economists have pointed out that management by Individual Transferable Quotas (ITQs for short) fare...

  • Observing Recovery: The Role of Implicit Discount Rates in ITQ Fisheries

    Creator:
    Batstone, Chris and Sharp, Basil
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses the potential application of implicit discount rates (IDR) derived from Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) trading data as indicators of fishery bio-economic health. The theoretical background is discussed, and in the context of one New Zealand ITQ fishery we analyze the behavior of IDR over ten years of...

  • Avoiding One Fishermen - A Case of Namibia

    Creator:
    Nashandi, Wilbard
    Abstract:
    The open access nature of fisheries resources had caused application of excessive fishing effort to most World fisheries. Proper management of fisheries resources is vital for sustainability and its safe future utilisation. Most attempts to salvage fisheries resources had so far succeeded but have also created one or more problems....

  • Balancing Efficiency and Risk with Flexible Catch Balancing Policies

    Creator:
    Holland, Dan and Herrera, Guillermo E.
    Abstract:
    In multispecies fisheries managed with individual fishery quotas (IFQs), fishers targeting certain species often have insufficient quota to cover other jointly caught species. New Zealand employs a unique dual price-quantity system to address this problem. In lieu of acquiring quota, fishers can opt to pay a fee per unit of...

    Creator:
    Matthiasson, Thorolfur
    Abstract:
    Resource rentals can be viewed as taxes on scarcity rents or as fees for access to use or utilize the resource. The Icelandic Fishery Management Act requires that vessel owners pay a Catch fee (Veiðigjald). This paper discusses how the Catch fee is defined by the Fishery Management Act. Secondly...

    Abstract:
    The West Coast Rock Lobster fishery is Australia's most valuable commercial fishery. Around 550 vessels harvest 10,500 tonnes of lobster per annum. The industry has an enviable track record of biological management which has been based on a variety of input controls. In recent years this has necessitated three significant...

  • The Ties That (Do Not) Bind: The ITQ System and Concentration in the Icelandic Fish Processing Industry, 1987-2004

    Creator:
    Agnarsson, Sveinn
    Abstract:
    This paper explores the reasons why the ties between harvesting and processing have been severed in the Icelandic fisheries in recent decades, and traces the role played by better transport, the emergence of domestic wet-fish markets, and the introduction of freezing trawlers, as well as other factors in this development....

  • Auctions for Initial Sale of Annual Catch Entitlement

    Creator:
    Anderson, Christopher and Holland, Daniel S.
    Abstract:
    When several new species are introduced into the New Zealand Quota Management System in the near future, some of the quota, or single-year annual catch entitlement (ACE), will be tendered through competitive auctions rather than allocated based on historical catch. This study uses a laboratory experiment calibrated to a representative...
