Catch rates on most grounds have been increasing since area catch limits were
introduced in 1980, and seasonal averages now vary between 3 and 12 kg per
trap-day. Although annual indices of puerulus larval recruitment are not
available, and the stock-recruitment relationship is unknown, it appears that
relatively stable yields can be maintained despite fluctuations in puerulus
recruitment. Density dependent regulatory mechanisms operative in juvenile
and young adult stages tend to dampen large variations in the numbers of
adults entering the fishable size range each year. Variations in puerulus
recruitment are likely to result from changes in the paths and velocities of
extensive offshore currents which eventually return larvae toward the coast of
South Africa after many months of pelagic existence.

Management Solution to a Fishery Commons." Marine fisheries
Review, 55(4):14-18.
A common property resource with open access, such as a fishery, will be
used to excess when faced with sufficient demand. This will lead to an
excessive amount of effort on the part of the fishery, resulting in a
depletion of the stock. This paper discusses the development of a property
rights regime for the Atlantic calico scallop, Argopecten gibbus, fishery of
Florida. The management solution of the Calico Scallop Conservation
Association (CSCA) provides an example of the assignment of property rights to
a common property resource without resorting to governmental intervention. In
this particular fishery, self regulation limited early harvesting is
uneconomic; there may be other fisheries in which self regulation could be
economically efficient and biologically appropriate. While this solution may
not be applicable to all common property resources, for those cases that may
be similar, the example of the CSCA provides valuable information that may be
helpful in establishing a more efficient use of the resource. Some types of
government facilitation may also be useful.
Pontecorvo, Giulio (1988). "The State of Worldwide Fishery Statistics:
A Modest Proposal." Marine Resource Economics, 5(2):79-81.
Pontecorvo laments the lack of economics input in the management of
marine fishery resources and proposes a data collection scheme that will met
minimum management requirements and needs.

Jr. and Michael Robinson and John Gulland on "The State of
Worldwide Fishery Statistics: A Modest Proposal"." Marine

Pontecorvo takes issue with the comments of the authors on data
collection needs versus management of fisheries.
Pontecorvo, Giulio (1989). "Canadian, Mexican, and U.S. Fisheries:
Recent Develops." Marine Fisheries Review, 51(1):18-22.
The paper reviews the landings and value of fishery landings for the
Canadian, Mexican, and U.S. fisheries after the adoption of 200 mile limit
legislation in those countries. The available information on technological
change and productivity in fisheries is presented and discussed.
