The governance of fish resources that migrate between or straddle different national EEZs is always complicated and often contentious. In the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) valuable tuna stocks are found in significant quantities in more than 12 national Exclusive Economic Zones as well as extensive high seas areas...

Over the past several years we have been developing Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) to measure the degree of success fisheries systems have in achieving environmental, economic and community outcomes. We have also developed indicators of key input factors. Among the input factors we have explicitly developed indicators for women’s participation and leadership...
An ITQ scheme has been shown to create a quota induced incentive for discarding of fish in excess of what is socially optimal. This finding is corroborated by empirical evidence in several ITQ managed fisheries. The incentive for discarding, over and above those expected in an unmanaged or input controlled...
This historical survey sweeps across a thousand years, divided into five very unequal stages. Over most of the stages property in tide-water fisheries was lost. Fishers lost control of the fishstock and of the markets they served. Governments responded with fishing regulations, which have served as a basis for regaining...
This paper discusses the use of options as a tool to retrieve valuable information on the value and level of risk associated with owning a share in a stock of renewable resource. The objective is to show how theory on options trading can be used to obtain information on the...
During 1986-2006, fisheries in Tonkin Gulf had made rapid development. Total engine power increased 11.6 times while total catch only increased 2.9 times. Big increase in number of fishing boats has resulted to the overexploitation in near shore waters since 1995 and this situation has been spread out all over...

uncertain fish stocks”, Martin Weitzman maintains that
the conventional view among both fisheries economists
and fisheries managers is that “prices” are inferior to
“quantities” as instruments for regulating the fishing
industry. Weitzman takes the opposite position,
appealing to two well-established ideas in economics:...
