McCarthy, Maurice (199?). The Evolution of the Irish Seafood Export Sector
to Continental Europe 1985-1995. Draft report, 9 pp.
This summarizes the changes that have occurred in the Irish Seafood
Sector over the last ten years. The main thrust deals with the changes
brought about by logistical changes in distribution, communication, and retail
in destination markets. Also dealt with are infra structural changes that
have occurred as part of EU mandates and local demand changes in Ireland over
the same period.

Red Snapper and Brown Shrimp." Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department, January.
For the years when the 200 mile closure was in effect there were
significant increases in the number of juvenile red snapper found in the Texas
Territorial Sea and in the number of juvenile brown shrimp found in the
estuaries during April following the year of the closure. Increases in red
snapper may be attributed to increased spawning due to protection in the
spawning grounds or to the reduction of bycatch associated with juvenile red
snapper.

A discussion of the impact of ITQs on the fishing community and resource
conservation. It raises the question of whether or not privatization is the
appropriate thing to do.

Fishery. In Karyn L. Gimbel (ed.) Limiting Access to Marine Fisheries:

Implemented in October 1990, Amendment #5 of the Atlantic Surf Clam and
Ocean Quahog Fishery Management Plan was the first in U.S. jurisdiction to
incorporate ITQs, or individual transferable quotas. Transaction costs in
this fishery are low because (1) it is a relatively small fishery, (2)
landings occur in few ports, and (3) very little bycatch is involved in the
fishery. The economic and social outcome was predictable. Fleet size and
crew positions declined sharply and returns to the remaining crew have
declined.
McCay, Bonnie J. (1995). "Social and Ecological Implications of ITQs:
An Overview." Ocean and Coastal Management, 28(1-3):3-22.
After a brief review of some of the economic dimensions of ITQs, which
indicate the importance of combining social and economic considerations, the
three major issues surrounding privatization of fishing rights are discussed;
social equity, stewardship, and what this means for public ownership or
stewardship.
