weight based ITQ program, a value based ITQ program may be less complicated
that a weight based ITQ program coupled with the sorts of taxes, landings
restrictions, or multiple quotas, that have been proposed as remedies for
quota induced high grading.

an Individual Quota Fishery. In Karyn L. Gimbel (ed.) Limiting Access

The halibut fishery is one of the oldest commercial fisheries in the
North Pacific, dating back to the 1890's. In Canada, as in most competitive
fisheries around the globe, by the late 1980's the halibut fishery was
becoming increasingly unsafe, overcapitalized, wasteful, and difficult to
manage. As the number of fishing days diminished annually, product quality
worsened, and landed price fell, fishermen started wondering if there was not
a better way to manage the halibut fishery. Their quest for an alternative
management approach for the halibut fishery resulted in the implementation of
individual quotas in 1991.
This presentation will discuss the Canadian Pacific halibut fishery
before and after the introduction of individual quotas. The presentation
addresses the problems and concerns in the fishery that led to a change in
management, provides details of how the program was implemented, and describes
the benefits of the system to date.
Turvey, Ralph (1964). "Optimization and Suboptimization in Fishery
Regulation." American Economic Review, 56:207-218.
The purpose of this article is to show that fishery regulation is one of
those spheres of economic policy where what is the best thing to do depends on
what can be done. What follows is a static analysis of a single trawl fishery
where there is only one fish stock, fished from ports that supply a common
competitive market and that are equidistant from the fishing ground with free
and easy entry by new firms. The purpose is to provide an interesting and
important example of the notions of optimization and suboptimization and of
the proposition that coping with external diseconomies will sometimes involve
interfering with the nature as well as the scale of private productive
activities.
Twomley, Bruce (1994). "License Limitation in Alaskan Salmon
Fisheries." In Karyn L. Gimbel (ed.) Limiting Access to Marine
Fisheries: Keeping the Focus on Conservation, Center for Marine
Conservation and the World Wildlife Fund, Washington, D.C.
Information from Alaska s license limitation program in its salmon
fisheries may help participants address the two questions posed at the
conference: (1) is limited access appropriate and effective and (2) if so,
what form limited access works best for a particular fishery?

This chapter focuses attention on certain aspects of regression analysis
that come to the fore with spatial data.
