A workshop on limited access for Atlantic swordfish and shark fisheries
to scope out issues and options for limited access management is summarized in
this report.
Mace, Pamela M. (1996). Comparisons Between Maximum Economic Yield and
Maximum Sustainable Yield. Draft report, Highly Migratory Management
Division, National Marine Fisheries Service, Silver Spring, MD, April,
14 pp.
Classical economic theory says that at equilibrium the fishing mortality
associated with maximum economic yield is less than fishing mortality at
maximum sustainable yield and that biomass at maximum economic yield is
greater than at maximum sustainable yield. But, results can be different if
the model is modified to include fish schooling or aggregation, discount rate,
and time horizon effects. Thus, economics will not necessarily save the
day, even when fisheries are managed using economic objectives (e.g. under
ITQs).
Mace, Pamela M. (1996). Developing and Sustaining World Fisheries Resources:
the State of the Science and Management. Keynote Presentation, World
Fisheries Congress, Sidney, Australia, National Marine Fisheries
Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD.
A review of world fisheries and the general state of management is
presented with predictions for the future of fisheries management being more
cooperative between fishermen, biologists, economists, and managers.
Mace, Pamela M. (1996). An Evaluation of the Use of SPR Levels as the Basis
for Overfishing Definitions in Gulf of Mexico Finfish Fisheries
Management Plans. Draft report, Gulf of Mexico SPR Management Strategy
Committee, April, 44 pp.
This report summarizes the conclusions of the SPR Committee, which cover
the following broad areas: general considerations about the applicability of
SPR reference points (Section I), topics of special relevance to Gulf of
Mexico fisheries (Section II), evaluation of current SPR reference points for
Gulf of Mexico species (Section III), and recommendations for future
development of OY and overfishing definitions (Section IV). Includes copies
of an overhead presentation used to present the results to the fishery
management councils.
Mace, Pamela M. and Wendy L. Gabriel (1998). Evolution, Scope, & Current
Applications of the Precautionary Approach in Fisheries. Presentation,
National Stock Assessment Workshop, National Marine Fisheries Service,
Key Largo, FL.
The evolution of the precautionary principle and approach from a series
of international meetings and agreements is summarized. How it is applied in
internationally managed fisheries is compared to the U.S. history of
management. The conclusion is that it is just another attempt to impose the
same management regime that has existed in the past and has failed to prevent
stock and fishery collapses.
