councils developed ceilings on catches and Allocated portions to the
recreational and commercial harvesters. Recreational anglers must comply with
bag limits and a quota while the commercial anglers comply with a quota.
Federal fisheries permits identify and allow the owner or operator to possess
mackerels in excess of the bag limits. To qualify for a permit, an owner or
operator of the fishing vessel must derive at least 10 percent of their earned
income from commercial fishing. Earned income means wages and salaries of
crew on a commercial fishing vessel, gross income from the sale of fish for a
commercial fishing business, or income from services involving the sale of
fish. Since the permit and earned income requirements became regulations in
1985, this combination has been effective at identifying those anglers exempt
from the bag limits and those anglers who must comply with them.

Fleets to Controls Imposed by Coastal Nations." J. Fish. Res.

Foreign distant water fishing fleets expanded quickly during the last 15
years and in some ocean areas accounted for a larger portion of the coastal
fishery resources harvest than neighboring coastal nations. Extension of
national jurisdiction sharply decreased these activities. Catch and fishing
effort limitations imposed by coastal states were of particular concern for
foreign fleets. To attenuate adverse effects of these restrictions, distant
water fishing operators are considering three basic and mutually complementing
solutions: better utilization of their own coastal resources until now
frequently neglected, shifting a part of their fleets to open ocean fishing
operations, and continuing highly restricted and reorganized fisheries in
coastal zones of other nations. Fishing activities within the 200 mile
economic zone involve utilization of surplus quotas allocated by coastal
states, quicker development of joint venture operations with coastal partners,
increased purchases of fresh fish from local fishermen, and transfer of
technology and know how mainly to the developing coastal countries. Supplies
of goods and services are also accepted by foreign fleets in exchange for
access rights to the marine living resources of the coastal nations.
However, all these adjustments of foreign fleets are considered an
intermediate stage of the long run trend in which the coastal state will be
able to develop the resources without substantial participation of foreign
fishermen. This trend is analyzed in the North Pacific distant water
fisheries development during recent years.

Chapter 1 envisages the causes of excessive fishing capacity, its
consequences and the measures to be taken on a comprehensive basis from the
viewpoint of fisheries management. Specific explanations are given, taking
the case of distant-water tuna longline fishing based on East Asia. Chapter 2
analyzes the possibility of reducing excessive fishing capacity by means of
output control such as TAC and the effectiveness of such measures. Chapter 3
analyzes the possibility of input control such as control on the number of
fishing vessels and its effectiveness.
