Our greatest debts are to Dr. Donald B. Olson of the Rosenstiel School of Marine
and Atmospheric Science of the University of Miami and to Dr. Mark Holliday,
Director of the Office of Policy of NOAA/Fisheries, the United States National
Marine Fisheries Service. Dr. Olson prepared Chapter 2 and Dr. Holliday prepared
Chapter 3. We are grateful for the depth of analysis they have offered. Their
responsibilities end there. We alone are responsible for interpretations in the rest of
the book.
During the long gestation period of this book, we have had occasion to consult
with numerous colleagues on various matters relating to fisheries and the arcane art
of preparing text. We particularly want to thank Ragnar Arnason, Andrew Bakun,
Trond Bjorndal, James Carscadden, Jingting Chang, Luca Garibaldi, John Gates,
Richard Grainger, Rögnvaldur Hannesson, George Lilly, John Marra, Bruce Rettig,
Philip Rodgers, Noel Roy, Ann Shriver, John Steele, and Lena Westlund for their
unstinting help when called upon. Needless to say, we are solely responsible for the
interpretations offered here and take full responsibility for errors.
We also wish to thank our wives, Margaret and Bernice, for their patience during
the extended period while this project was underway.

Introduction
This book provides an explanation of why nations have such a poor record in their
efforts to manage the valuable fish resources of the world’s oceans. It suggests
alternative ways to deal with the fisheries management problem and notes recent
developments which point toward alternative uses for the living resources of the sea.
Underlying our analysis is the basic assumption that the management of the
world’s fisheries is primarily an economic problem subject to biological constraints.
In turn, this problem of managing a renewable resource, and our failure to solve it,
rests on the interaction of (1) the industrial organization of the world’s fishing
industry, (2) the inability, given the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the
problem, of fishery scientists to provide convincing limits to how much fish may
safely be caught, and (3) the increasing world demand in the markets for fish and fish
products in the face of restricted and volatile supply.
In an industry that is competitive on a world scale, subject to uncertain science
with variable fish stocks, affected by inadequate understanding of the variations in
the ocean environment, and facing a growing demand for fish in the face of inelastic
supply, it is highly likely that overfishing will occur. Since management failure is the
result of these complex economics and natural conditions, simplistic explanations for
management failure, such as references to the greed of fishermen or to the role of
politics, are unhelpful and, given increasing market pressure, appeals to fishermen
and fishery managers to act responsibly are likely to fail. The detailed analysis of
these core issues provides the centerpiece of this book.
For 150 years the management of fisheries has followed a cycle of optimism, with
the hope that a new approach to management will prove successful, followed by a
period of pessimism. Managers and scientists were and are continuously seeking new
theoretical and applied approaches that would correct the empirically revealed errors
of the previous management techniques and, therefore, lead to a fishing industry that
is stable, sustainable, and profitable. Over this long time period, much has been
learned about the biology of individual species of fish, less about the interaction of
species, especially predator/prey relationships, and even less about the variability in
fish stocks, the marine ecosystems, and the ocean/atmosphere system in which these
organisms live. We do not as yet adequately understand the changes in the ocean/
climate system or the dramatic natural variations in the size of fish stocks, or the
complex interactions of environment and overfishing that have driven some fish
xvi Introduction
1. For an interesting, narrowly focused discussion of a local fishery, Monterey’s sardine (California
pilchard) fishery, see Chiang (2008). Chiang considers the rise and fall of the famous fishery, conflicts
among fishermen (of different locations, races, national origin, gear types, union and nonunion), conflicts
between fishermen and fish processors, conflicts over the final product (reduction for fertilizer vs. canned
sardines for human consumption), methods of circumventing fishery regulations, under reporting of
catches, conflicts among those who believed that overfishing led to the decline of the sardine and those who
blamed natural (environmental) effects, abortive attempts by the California Fish and Game Commission
to limit fishing effort, conflicts between federal and state governments, conflicts among those who believed
in conservation versus those who believed that supplies of sardines were unlimited, and processors’ attacks
on what they called ‘‘pseudoscientific’’ justifications for limiting catches. The world’s current and past
battles over fisheries all appear here in microcosm.
Introduction xvii
yields the same result, an excessive focus on the amount of the catch in the current
time period.
2. A primary objective of conservationists/environmentalists is to maintain the status
quo in the structure of ocean ecosystems. In some instances, they have obtained
legislation aimed at returning conditions to the status quo ante, that is, requiring
the restoration of stocks or ecosystems. This legislation imposes a de jure
condition on fisheries management but not necessarily on the fish. One solution to
the fishery management problem that would be acceptable to these groups is the
reduction of the fishing industry to a ‘‘small core fishery’’ (Pontecorvo & Schrank,
2001).
3. The managers/fishery biologists.
Governments first turned to biologists with an interest in ocean fish to explain
the variability in yields and to suggest ways to stabilize the catch. From these
modest efforts in the last third of the 19th century, fishery management has grown
into a complex set of national and international fishery bureaucracies (e.g., the
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations — the FAO) and these
agencies are still largely dominated by fishery biologists. These entities have a
wide range of legal and consultative responsibility. They play a role along with
other interests, especially the industry, in shaping their legislative mandates and
international treaty obligations. However, they still have as their basic mandate
the health of the existing stocks of fish. As government agencies, they also have to
be concerned about their place and financing within government budgets.
4. Economists introduced serious economic analysis of fishery problems in the 1950s
when they pointed to the adverse economic results from exploiting a common
property resource. Today they also play a role in decision making within the
framework of the large government fishery agencies.
5. Consumers are concerned about the quality of output as well as the availability of
the usual array of products favored by current taste. They care about the loss of
species in the market through overfishing and natural variation. And they would
pay an unknown extra price if the industry were reduced to a ‘‘small core fishery’’
which would yield a lower level of output. In recent years, consumers have been
increasingly interested in the nutritional value of fish and fish oil.
6. The industry, either in a market economy or in part as an element in government,
has been the most important player in the set of decision-makers involved in the
regulation of fishing effort. Further, it opposes, as a threat to its income,
limitations imposed on the catch.
