Merryday, Steven D. (1998). "Southern Offshore Fishing Association, et
al., vs. William M. Daley. Case No. 97-1134-CIV-T-23C, United
States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa,
Division.
The plaintiffs, a coalition of shark fishermen and shark fishing
organizations, challenge the 1997 commercial harvest quotas imposed by the
U.S. Secretary of Commerce and his designees ( Secretary ) for the capture of
Atlantic sharks currently under federal management. The plaintiffs allege
that the administrative decision is unsupported by the record and is contrary
to law. I conclude that the Secretary acted within his regulatory discretion
in setting the quotas but failed to conduct a proper analysis to determine the
quotas economic effect on small business.

Meuriot, Eric (1986). "Fishing Fleet Replacement: The French Policy from
1945 - 1983." Marine Policy 10(4): 294-309.
The author describes the French fishing fleet replacement policy from
1945 to 1983 and ascertains from it the objectives and constraints of public
policy. While the theoretical and practical negative effects of open access
fisheries were well assessed, the French experience provides an example of the
difficulties of carrying out a policy limiting access to fisheries. Domestic
conflicts of interest and open competition with foreign countries failed to
limit the overall fishing capacity of the French fleet. They have also led
the government to focus on short term distributional issues rather than on
long term efficiency. It is the author's opinion that similar case studies
could be useful for understanding the evolution of the fishing sector as well
as for putting into perspective the results of the theoretical literature on
open access fisheries.
