occurred in the otter trawl and scallop dredge fisheries, particularly since
the Magnuson Fisheries Conservation and Management Act. Moreover, the results
demonstrate that the number and change in the number of vessels are inadequate
indicators of the level of capital stock and investment in a fleet comprised
of vessels with heterogeneous characteristics.

Capacity Utilization in Fisheries." Draft report, Food and

This paper addresses the issues of (1) what is the maximum amount of
output and fishing mortality a vessel, operating unit, or fleet can produce
given available input stocks; (2) what is the technical efficiency and
productivity of the fleet and vessels over time; (3) what portion of total
fishing effort is redundant or unnecessary relative to present levels and
biological and economic total allowable catches; and (4) what is the structure
of industry and utilization of inputs given the frontier level of production
and the elimination of technological externalities?

Capacity Utilization in Fisheries." Revised draft report, Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, Italy.
In this report, the various concepts of capacity, capacity utilization,
capital utilization, overcapitalization, fishing and harvesting capacity, and
input utilization are examined. Numerous definitions and potential
measurements are offered. The definitions and measurements are explored from
primal or physical-based and economic orientations. Differences are
articulated and further examined. In addition, numerous approaches for
assessing capacity, capacity utilization, overcapitalization, capital
utilization, and factor utilization are introduced.

in Fishing Industries. Discussion Paper 99-16, Department of
Economics, University of California, San Diego, July, 38 pp.
Excess capacity of fishing fleets is one of the most pressing problems
facing the world s fisheries and the sustainable harvesting of resource
stocks. Considerable confusion persists over the definition and measurement
of capacity and capacity utilization in fishing. Fishing capacity and
capacity utilization, rather than capital (or effort) utilization, provide the
appropriate framework. This paper provides both technological-economic and
economic definitions of capacity and excess capacity in fishing and
illustrates the technological-economic approach through a case study using
Data Envelopment Analysis.
