    The papers contained in this supplement cover theoretical aspects of fisheries management and its practice in a general manner. Two aspects of fisheries management are reviewed from the perspective of the market for fish and from the fishermen's view. The majority of the papers discuss specific regulatory techniques such as fixed fishing gear, selectivity of fishing gears including mesh size regulation, controls over numbers of fishing vessels and the effects of various financial measures. Sever al of the papers examine approaches to fisheries regulation that attempt to overcome the common property aspect of fisheries resources. The last paper re-examines the basic equilibrium theory that is applied to most fisheries.

    The papers contained in this Supplement are concerned with approaches to regulating fishing effort encountered by individual countries and experiences in the management of specific fisheries. The first paper, by way of introduction to the Supplement, describes the scientific process in formulating management advice within an International Commission and the second paper describes the procedures followed by a regional organization in implementing these scientific recommendations. The remaining pa pers describe fisheries management practices in individual countries, listed alphabetically, followed by management experiences for shrimp, snapper, lobster, herring, groundfish, anchovy, surf clams, halibut and sardine fisheries.

    Report of the Expert Consultation on the regulation of fishing effort (fishing mortality)

    The problems of controlling fishing effort are reviewed. Any method should satisfy certain criteria - maintaining the productivity of the resource, economic performance, and equity (or social needs). The methods of achieving these objectives are reviewed; they include catch limits, direct control of fleet capacity (e.g., licence limitation), indirect measures (mesh size, closed areas), financial measures, and property rights. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are discussed in the light of the established criteria. There is no simple single method. Management of most fisheries will require a mix of several approaches and cannot be separated from development.
