The objective of this paper is to present an analytical description and classification of observable impacts that individual quota (IQ) regimes may have on social conditions affecting fishers and fiching communities.

Promoters of individual transferable quota (ITQ) management regimes have often held out the prospect that such regimes generally will offer superior performance over alternative fisheries managements systems. My purpose in this paper is to challenge the notion of ITQ superiority in an important...

Risk of stock collapse is a genuine motivation for cooperative fisheries management. We analyse the effect of an endogenously determined risk of stock collapse on the incentives to cooperate in a Great Fish War model. We establish that equilibrium harvest strategies are non-linear in stock and...
