Anonymous (1998). Management of Fishing Capacity. U.S. Position Paper,
October 26-30, FAO Consultations.
The U.S. position on adopting a global plan of action for the management
of fishing capacity.
Anonymous (1998). Measurement & Monitoring of Fishing Capacity. Working
Group 1, Technical Working Group on the Management of Fishing Capacity,
FAO, La Jolla CA, April 15-18.
An agenda to facilitate discussion of incentive blocking methods to
control fishing capacity in high seas.
Anonymous (1998). Recreational Value of Sport-Boat Fishing: Corpus Christi
Bay, Texas. Draft.
This study applies the travel cost model using survey data collected by the
Texas Parks and Wildlife. The demand model for sport-boat fishing was
estimated empirically using a Maximum Likelihood approach, which recognizes
that the travel cost data are of a discrete nature and subject to systematic
truncation. The estimates generated in this study validate the notion that
the sport-boat fishing services provided by the Corpus Christi Bays are
significant, and that improvements in habitat and water quality could result
in significant gains in economic value.
Anonymous (1998). Report of Working Group 3 on Incentive Adjusting Control
Methods and Reduction of Capacity. Draft Report, Working Group 3,
Technical Working Group on the Management of Fishing Capacity, FAO, La
Jolla CA, April 15-18, 5 pp.
Incentive adjusting control methods include individual quotas, taxes,
group fishing rights, and individual effort quotas because they tend to
improve or tighten the connection between those persons making fishery
management and capacity decisions and the persons bearing the full
consequences of those decisions. If the consequences are entirely borne by
the decision maker, there are no external effects of the decision and the
decision-maker tends to act in the social interest when serving his selfinterest.
It is important to realize that the different incentive adjusting
control methods have widely different implications in terms of wealth
generation and, in particular, its distribution. These methods potentially
could lead to reductions in fishing capacity if properly applied in certain
fisheries.
Anonymous (1998). Surf Clam Advisory Report. Report to the Mid-Atlantic
Fishery Management Council, Annapolis, MD, March.
Report on the biological status of the surf clam and ocean quahog
fishery in the mid-Atlantic ocean.
Anthony, Vaughn C. (1990). Fundamentals of Fisheries Management -- The
Resource. National Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries
Center, Woods Hole, MA, October, 88 pp.
An explanation of the assessment of single species fish stocks, their
fisheries, and an explanation of the procedures, advantages, and problems of
different management techniques is provided. The multispecies problem,
environmental effects, and the very important subject of risk are touched on
in the paper. The social and economic options that are so very important in
adjusting the optimum biological yields are not discussed.
