  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Poland - a Study of the Development of New Trade Patterns in an Economy in Transition: A case study of Poland’s seafood sector Author: Lem, Audun Year: 2001 This work has been facilitated through the very cooperative spirit encountered on numerous visits in Poland among private sector operators and public sector representatives. In particular, Professor Polanski, Professor Dutkiewicz and Dr. Kuzebski of the Sea Fisheries Institute have been of great assistance. Representatives of the Polish Government and the Fisheries Administration have also been most helpful in volunteering information and background material. I also thank my colleagues at the FAO, Zbigniew Karnicki, Grimur Valdimarsson, Izzat Feidi and Erhard Ruckes for valuable support. Special thanks to Jochen Nierentz of EASTFISH and Alberto Ramírez of Fundación Chile whose fact-finding mission to Central and Eastern Europe gave the impetus for this paper.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fisheries Management and Rule of Law Author: McEvoy, Arthur F. Year: 2001 Fishing is one of the most intensively regulated industries in the U.S. economy. Theoretically, regulating an industry means subjecting it to the rule of law: treating those with an interest in the resource fairly while preserving the public interest in public order, economic efficiency, and conservation. There are, however, two opposing concepts of “rule of law,” each with deep roots in U.S. legal culture, that conflict with each other and frequently stymie efforts to regulate fisheries successfully. One of these concepts is the classical liberal idea of autonomy, which stresses the individual’s right to pursue his/her self-interest free of state interference. Rule of law here means that the state should guarantee private ordering, treat everyone alike, and promote private enterprise. The other is the Jeffersonian, or republican, idea of participation, which stresses the equal participation of all citizens in self-government. Throughout U.S. history, these two norms have co-existed uncomfortably with each other as sources of legitimacy for regulatory regimes. Liberal thinking predominated in the nineteenth century, although it clearly underlies limited-entry and other property-oriented regimes today. Republican thinking has emerged more recently in co-management regimes that stress the participation of user groups in data-gathering, policymaking, and enforcement. Somewhere in between is the New Deal style of governance, on which the Magnuson Act of 1976 is based. Title: Fisheries Management and Rule of Law Author: McEvoy, Arthur F.

In using those data, we faced a number of challenges related to data management, data protection and confidentiality, and needed to develop effective methods for identifying and communicating fishery trends with collaborators from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. This presentation will address lessons learned and techniques developed for effectively managing and integrating quantitative and qualitative data from diverse sources, determining the most relevant aspects of a fishery to depict, and generating outputs to inform audiences in fishing communities, fishery management and the general public.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Economic Cost of Ignoring Fishery Induced Evolution Author: Faig, Amanda D. Ecologists warn that the rapid evolution occurring as a result of high-intensity commercial fishing could have potentially disastrous economic and ecological effects. The evolution of economically relevant life-history traits in fish, which can occur due to the harvesting pressure from commercial fisheries, can irreversibly diminish fisheries yields and ecological services. I model the interactions between the genetics, population structure, and economics of the fishery in order to determine whether the economic implications of this rapid evolution (called fisheries-induced evolution or FIE) are as potentially consequential as ecologists predict. My model is based on North-East Arctic Cod, which are long lived and for which an abundance of information exists, including proof of FIE. I compare the steady state reached by a `myopic’ fishery manager who sets effort and mesh size policy while ignoring evolution, to one who dynamically optimizes his strategy with the knowledge of how evolution will respond. This paper shows that ignoring evolution may lead to some profit loss, but not likely the `catastrophic’ amount of loss predicted by biologists. While the value of the fishery is somewhat improved when evolution is accounted for, an important auxiliary benefit of accounting for evolution is that the fish stock is healthier, with a larger biomass and a more balanced age-structure. Thus while, in a narrow sense, accounting for the evolutionary effects of fishing may yield only modest gains in the present value of returns, there may be broader reasons for fisheries managers to adopt policies that incorporate knowledge of FIE.
