Anchovy fisheries in Indonesia faces a declining state in the next decade. This research investigates some factors contributing to a reduction of anchovy resources. It was carried out in Krueng Raya Bay-Aceh from September to October 2012. Survey and interviews were implemented to explore the state of anchovy. Primary and...

Productivity change after transition to an individual transferable quota (ITQ) management system is driven by exit of some vessels, entry of other vessels, and changes in productivity of existing vessels. Generally, it is thought that an ITQ system boosts productivity due to the exit of less productive vessels. However, ITQ...

New Zealand manages commercial access and allocation through the market-based Quota Management System (QMS). However, the QMS alone is currently insufficient to address several fisheries issues. New Zealand is now developing Objectives-Based Fisheries Management (OBFM) to complement the QMS along two dimensions. First, to improve fisheries outcomes, such as reduced...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
