solutions, one of the main ones being institution of IQs. An extensive
consultative process with industry ensued to establish the quota allocation
process, bycatch trading rules, appeal procedures, and sanctions for
violators. In addition, a new user paid catch monitoring system was
established as a central feature of enforcement. While it is too early to
gauge the success of the IQ approach, it has received support of participants,
but criticism from other sectors, particularly in relation to social
consequences and enforcement problems. The effects of IQs will have to be
carefully monitored to understand how this regulatory tool impacts the fleets
as well as the communities that depend upon them.

of an Age-Structured Groundfish Resource Exploited by a Multi-Gear
Fishing Fleet. ICES Mar. Sci. Symp., 193:264-274.
A bioeconomic model of the Scotian Shelf groundfish fishery involving
otter trawler and longliner fleets was constructed to examine the biological
economic, and regulatory consequences of the interaction of these two fleets.
Otter trawlers catch younger fish than longliners and the revenue-cost
pictures are very different. The model allowed examination of the long-term
equilibrium levels and short term transitory paths. The results of the
simulation indicate that both yield and employment were superior for
longliners. However, otter trawlers, although experiencing higher operating
costs, could out compete longliners owning to higher sustained catch rates
and thus revenue per unit cost. From a regulatory point of view, it was
determined that, under the assumptions of this study, the fishery could be
managed by regulating only trawler activity. The longliner fleet could be
left essentially unregulated since it is not economical for it to overfish the
stock. The results of this study have significant implications for the
management of multispecies, multi-gear fisheries in which differential age
effects of exploitation are present.

Fishery." American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 53(4):583-

This paper presents a technique for estimating the physical yield
function of a fishery when detailed biological and environmental data are
lacking. The physical yield function of the California trawl fishery is
incorporated in an economic model to show the relationship between maximum
sustainable physical yield of the fishery and maximum economic yield.
Maximizing the economic benefit of the fishery to society would involve a
drastic reduction in resource use at a catch level considerably below the
biological maximum sustainable yield. Only through marginal cost pricing can
resources be allocated efficiently to the fishery.
