This paper is intended to review the situation of high seas resources
and fisheries targeting at them in the hope to contribute to the discussion at
the Expert Meeting on management of Fishing Capacity to be held in April this
year. In assessing the degrees of fishing capacity, the starting point should
be clarification of the present state of resources and fisheries. The fishery
resources dealt in this paper include tuna, bottom fishes and salmon. This
paper utilizes to the fullest extent the present knowledge available on the
state of many of the high seas resources and fisheries shared by regional
fisheries management organizations.

Report, Working Group 4, Technical Working Group on the Management of
Fishing Capacity, FAO, La Jolla CA, April 15-18, 5 pp.
A series of recommendations on policy issues related to the management
of capacity on a national and international basis are presented.
Institutional requirements include the establishment of a registry of vessels
and boats in the fishing industry and the collection of economic data
necessary to study the dynamics of entry and exit behavior in the fishing
fleet. Co-management was strongly recommended as a means of controlling
excess capacity and subsidies were discouraged.

Whilst incentive blocking methods are frequently seen as problematical,
there are many fisheries in both developed and developing situations where
they offer a viable (and often the only alternative) to managing capacity. It
is considered that in general the well known shortcomings associated with
incentive blocking mechanisms have been managed poorly, and in the light of
experience, such measures can be and are used successfully in certain
circumstances.
