fishery, which is regulated by 2-monthly landing limits, has higher discard fractions (31–43% vs. 14–19% for BC). The BC experience suggests that full observer coverage,ITQs, and mortality accounting would reduce West Coast discarding fractions, butsevere catch restrictions on overfished West Coast species may limit such reductions.19.

Volume 4.Fisheries Management Paper No. 212. Department of Fisheries Western Australia.http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/docs/mp/mp212/fmp212.pdf. Quota management systemsare now in place for the New Zealand, Tasmanian and South Australian rock lobsterfisheries. New Zealand was the first to move to QMS (1989), followed by the SouthernZone of South Australia (1993), Tasmania (1998) and Northern Zone South Australia(2001). As part of a review of the system of management used for the West CoastRock Lobster Fishery, a West Australian delegation visited New Zealand, Tasmania andSouth Australia in 2004 to learn more about the management systems in place for theirrespective rock lobster fisheries. The report documents history, fishery facts, access tothe fishery (e.g. number of quota owners), sustainability (including TAC limits), andseason for the three fisheries.21. Bruckner, A. 2004.

The Effects of Individual Vessel Quotas inthe British Columbia Halibut Fishery. Marine Resource Economics, Volume 10, pp. 211-230.Implementation of individual vessel quotas (IVQs) in the British Columbia halibutfishery has provided a unique opportunity to examine the effects of this managementtechnique on a previously intense “derby” fisher. This paper describes the changes thathave occurred in the fishery since the introduction of individual vessel quotas in 1991.The results presented here are largely based on the finding of two surveys. InSeptember 1993, we conducted in-depth interviews with most of the major halibutprocessors in British Columbia. These processors reported significant changes in the- 4 -
processing and marketing of halibut. In Spring 1994, we conducted a mail survey of all435 licensed halibut fishermen. The survey consisted of several series of questionsdesigned to measure changes in fishing operations (crew size, fishing practices, etc.),quota leasing activities, changes in fishing income, and opinions about the effects ofIVQs. The results presented here provide important information nabout the effects ofthe British Columbia halibut IVQ program to date and will be useful for comparison tosimilar management programs implemented elsewhere.26.

Shifting gears:assessing collateral impacts of fishing methods in US waters. Front Ecol Environ 2003; 1(10:517-524. Problems with fisheries are usually associated with overfishing; in other words,with the deployment of “too many” fishing gears. However, overfishing is not the onlyproblem. Collateral impacts of fishing methods on incidental take (bycatch) and onhabitats are also cause for concern. Assessing collateral impacts, through integrating theknowledge of a wide range of fisheries stakeholders, is an important element ofecosystem management, especially when consensual results are obtained. This can bedemonstrated using the “damage schedule approach” to elicit judgments from fishers,scientists, and managers on the severity of fishing gear impacts on marine ecosystems.The consistent ranking of fishing gears obtained from various respondents can serve asa basis for formulating fisheries policies that will minimize ecosystem impacts. Suchpolicies include a shift to less damaging gears and establishing closed areas to limitcollateral impacts.29. Clark, W., Hare, S. 2005. Assessment of the Pacific halibut stock at the end of 2005.International Pacific Halibut Commission. Each year the IPHC staff assesses theabundance and potential yield of Pacific halibut using all available data from thecommercial fishery and scientific surveys. Exploitable biomass in each of IPHCregulatory areas 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 4A, and 4B is estimated by fitting a detailed populationmodel to the data from that area, going back to 1974 in the eastern areas and to 1996 inAreas 3B and 4. Exploitable biomass in Area 2A is estimated by applying a survey-basedestimate of relative abundance to the analytical estimate of biomass in Area 2B. In Area4CDE the estimate of exploitable biomass is based on the NMFS trawl survey of theeastern Bering Sea shelf (available for the first time this year [2005]). The new 2005estimate is the same as what the old estimation method would have produced.Coastwide exploitable biomass is little changed. Fishery CEY in Areas 4B and 4CDE islower because of the adoption of a lower harvest rate in those areas. This reportprovides biomass information as well as historical catch information, historical halibutbycatch, and effort (CPUE data).- 5 -
