This paper discusses the interactions between subsidies and fishery
resource overexploitation and overcapitalization. Even benign subsidies upon
closer inspection are seen to have decidedly malign aspects.

The major development in fisheries economics that is stressed in this
chapter is the shift away from static to dynamic or capital-theoretic
analysis. Dynamic considerations in turn lead naturally to a consideration of
problems arising from uncertainty.

Bycatch considerations have become critical constraints on the
prosecution and development of marine fisheries in the nation and the world.
Unless species and size selectivity of fishing techniques are improved, tough
new rules will place additional requirements on existing fisheries or
fisheries may be closed all together. In these circumstances, the industry
will likely be unable to develop fisheries for the nation s few remaining
underutilized resources. This workshop has two important objectives: (1)
review recent developments in bycatch reduction, and (2) promote dialogue on
research and policy goals for the future.
Since the first National Industry Buycatch Workshop, held in Newport
Oregon, there has been considerable gear based research, supported by
industry, associations, and government partnerships. Technical standards for
evaluating bycatch reduction have been developed and applied in some
situations. Bycatch monitoring programs have been expanded to include a
widening array of fisheries and the nature and extent of the bycatch problem
subjected to quantitative evaluation. This information has exonerated some
fisheries, and excoriated others. Recently , more sophisticated real time
bycatch monitoring systems have been developed, with capabilities for
information dissemination. However, much remains to be done. Although often
assumed, specific goals for bycatch management have rarely been articulated.
Development of goals is a necessary step if we are to measure our success
solving bycatch. New approaches to information sharing, and personal
accountability to operate cleanly are challenges which must be faced. As
well, the scientific community needs to define how clean is clean enough?
and to evaluate the consequences of bycatch reduction alternatives on species
and ecosystems. Regulatory schemes that encourage innovation and
responsibility through incentives for bycatch reduction and discourage those
who jeopardize personal and collective fishing opportunities through
