At the request of industry, NMFS lists the vessel name and its bycatch
rate for the Chinook salmon fishery. Information is available upon request or
on the NMFS bulletin board.

Cleaning Up. In Brad Warren, Win-Win Bycatch Solutions. National
Fisheries Conservation Center, Seattle WA.
A discussion of the rock sole fishermen s efforts to voluntarily reduce
bycatch without government regulations. Solutions discussed include
individual fishermen s quotas, individual bycatch quotas, gear modifications,
and closed areas.
Geen, Gerry and Mark Nayar (1988). "Individual Transferable Quotas in
the Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery: An Economic Appraisal." Marine
Resource Economics, 5(4):356-387.
A system of individual transferable quotas (ITQs) was introduced into
the southern bluefin tuna (SBT) fishery in 1984. This was the first such
management system to be introduced in Australia and among the first worldwide.
Its introduction marketed a radical departure from traditional management
regimes based on limiting the number of boats allowed to operate and other
input controls. Because ITQs are a potential management option for many other
fisheries, their success or otherwise in improving the economic performance
and prospects of the SBT fishery is likely to have ramifications for the
future direction of fisheries management in Australia. The impact of the ITQ
scheme on fishery profitability is assessed in relation to the expected
outcomes of alternative management programs if they had been introduced
instead of ITQs. A model that draws together the major biological, physical,
and economic relationships in the fishery provides a framework for this
analysis.

This document reports the results of surveying hook fishing vessel
owners about fishing effort, vessel characteristics, operating costs and
overhead costs in the groundfish hook fishery. This document also reports
information from port agents and others on vessel and fleet characteristics,
and information from suppliers on prices of inputs used in the groundfish hook
fishery.
