This paper focuses on the consequences of managing small-scale fisheries without consideration of geographical differentiation in reproductive potential through a species range. Because fishing costs
increase with distance, the alternative port locations are predicted to have substantially different impacts on biological and economic performance variables when there are no spatial...
The state of the world at the beginning of 21 century is terribly bad from all points of views such as environment, food supply, resources, economy and security essential for human survival. Our civilization based on technological development and mass consumption has been using up all resources on land and...
Human adaptation to change is an essential determinant in the resilience of complex social-ecological systems. In the field of water policy and management it has become increasingly clear that traditional government actors cannot fully address emerging water problems at every scale given a demonstrated lack of resources, increasing variability in...
The Baltic fishery is managed under the European Union Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) which defines procedures for setting annual total allowable catches (TAC) for major commercially harvested species. TACs are given as fixed shares to each member state by applying the principal of relative stability. Poland uses non-tradable individual vessel...
Quota allocation mechanisms have distributional effects with important issues concerning the economic organization of the fishery and acceptability. Yet, these distributional effects are rarely studied. In France, where fishing rights are not transferable, the quotas are shared between producer cooperatives based on the historical landings of their members. Each cooperative...
Vietnam’s marine fisheries are in need of knowledge-based management. This necessitates the establishment of
reliable indicators, which in turn entails a good data collecting and processing system. To bridge the gap between
specific requirements for fisheries policy development and the limited resources available, we have conducted a
study on costs...
In British Columbia “co-management agreements” are improving the sustainable management of many commercial fisheries. While some fisheries have fairly extensive co-management agreements which outline cost recovery, joint and separate roles and responsibilities for enforcement, science, and management, most do not. There are a number of important factors which have limited...

As discussions of co-management and community-based management have become popular, recent works have paid growing attention to how fishers are involved in fisheries management. Comparing the fisheries management that has been developed in the hard clam fisheries of New Jersey, U.S.A., with those of Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, this paper examines...
The concept of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAF) is reaching a point of general acceptance by those involved in fisheries. There is also growing agreement that fisheries management must incorporate the complicated and often not-well-understood links between human activities and the environment. As a primary goal of an...
