Analyzing the socioeconomic impacts of fisheries management requires a distinctive array of information that has so far been less developed than the biological data used in stock assessment. In the case of the European Common Fisheries Policy the project SOCIOEC studies the socioeconomic effects of the new European fisheries management...

When different species are caught together in mixed-fisheries but are managed under single-species management plans may lead to TACs of some species being exhausted before other. This leads to conservation and socio-economic problems in fisheries, where agreed harvest levels cannot be obtained for some stocks, while other stocks may be...
Integrating governance mechanisms into bio-economic modeling tools is a key challenge for the assessment of fisheries management plans. Impact assessments are carried out without considering real management options and institutional context. Only fishing mortality changes and their impact on fish stocks are considered. The Bay of Biscay sole fishery offers...

The increasing move to citizen participation in policy formulation is being witnessed in European fisheries. The emergence of the Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) and other processes via the reformed Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is sparking hope and interest in more regionally relevant, holistic, and hopefully workable fisheries management measures. In...
This paper formulates a simple biomass growth model of a fishery. The property rights regime is of the unregulated local common property type with a fixed number of fishermen and where the fish stock is exploited in a myopic profit-maximizing manner. Within this resource management setting it is demonstrated that...
