Community fishery rights are use rights (the right to take part in fishing) and/or management rights (the right to be involved in managing the fishery) implemented at a local, community level.

Fisheries worldwide continue to suffer from the negative consequences of open access. In 1986, New Zealand responded by establishing an individual transferable quota (ITQ) system that by 1998 included 33 species and more than 150 markets for fishing quotas. We assess these markets in terms of trends in market activity,...
Management of individual species in a multi-species fishery poses a number of challenges for fishery management systems, including the problem of managing fish bycatch. Fish bycatch is sometimes identified as a particular problem associated with management systems based on individual transferable quotas (ITQs) but this has not always proven to...
This paper analyzes the behavior of fishing households under individual transferable quotas (ITQ) system based on Singh, Squire and Strauss household model. ITQ system is sought to be the optimal fishery management regime in terms of economic efficiency. However, preceding theoretical analyses only considered implementing ITQ to a well established...
Fisheries economists have studied fisheries managed with ITQs and compared them to fisheries that are differently managed. Most of these studies have found ITQs to be economically superior. This paper studies the ITQ-fisheries in Iceland. It focuses on features that are difficult to explain using traditional fisheries economics. It is...
New Zealand’s quota management system, the QMS, has for years been considered as one of the most successful rights-based fisheries management system in the world. Although the hard evidence is at best patchy, New Zealand’s fishing industry is performing well ahead of most competitors, both in economic, biological and administrative...
This paper is intended to examine and discuss in what way output control, one of the fisheries management measures, is effective in reducing over-capacity, and can become an effective means towards sustainable management of living marine resources. It was made clear theoretically and empirically that output control is applicable as...
