annotated bibliography of fisheries economics literature - Office of ...

Viewed in an historical perspective, the 1973 Alaska limited entry law
evolved from fisheries policies motivated by distributive (Alaska first) and
social (maintenance of rural fishing communities) criteria more than the
traditional economic criteria of efficiency. Fisheries economics research has
been primarily concerned with such matters as dissipation of economic rent
through excessive units of harvesting. There is a need to expand this
research into employment, labor mobility, and the evaluation of opportunity
costs as well as economic efficiency.

Common Fisheries Policy. European Commission, Brussels, Technical
Working Group on the Management of Fishing Capacity, FAO, La Jolla CA,

History of the European Communities effort to legislate reductions in
fishing fleet capacity among its member states under the multi-annual guidance
program (MAGP). Although capacity has been reduced, the economic or sociocultural
impacts on member states or the biological impacts on stocks were not
presented.

Control: Their Strengths and Weaknesses." Public Policy,

Two market schemes for controlling water pollution, effluent charges,
and pollution rights, are contrasted. Rights are, in general, found to be
superior to charges, but market mechanisms must also be supplemented by nonmarket
regulatory devices. Rights are preferred to charges because they (1)
assure the attainment of water quality thresholds; (2) minimize inequities;
(3) provide a means of subsidizing municipalities without sacrificing
efficiency; (4) permit growth without burdening existing dischargers; and (5)
provide a way to handle emergencies. In addition, they can be incorporated
into the existing legislation without a drastic revision of the Water
Pollution Control Act of 1972.

Network Report, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
This report offers a brief description and analysis of available data
and information reviewed during the course of this study. These sources
include national fisheries statistics; data collated by the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) and other international and intergovernmental
bodies; and biological and status assessments. Thereafter, those
shark fisheries covered by this study are described briefly, followed by a
summary of the various shark products in trade, their processing and
preparation, their use in domestic and international markets, and of the
species from which they are derived. The final sections of the report discuss
the management and conservation implications of these chondrichthian fisheries
and resultant trade, and subsequent conclusions and recommendations for the
future management of chondrichthian stocks.
