Synopsis (short abstract) The provisions of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, as they relate to fisheries management, are expressed in the form of questions with minimal interpretation. A system of scoring is suggested which will assist those concerned with fisheries management in evaluating the adherence of a particular fishery or fishery management system to the provisions of the Code and for monitoring progress in this respect. The document focuses particularly on Article 7, which deals with Fisheries Ma nagement sensu strictu but extracts from other Articles those clauses that have immediate relevance to the proper management of living aquatic resources. The document is also intended to provide a focus for discussion at fisheries management fora between those concerned with fisheries management.
