Modelling combined harvest and effort regulations: the case of the Dutch beam trawl fishery for plaice and sole in the North Sea

Abstract Hoff, A. and Frost, H. 2008. Modelling combined harvest and effort regulations: the case of the Dutch beam trawl fishery for plaice and sole in the North Sea. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 822–831. Currently, several European fishing fleets are regulated through a combination of harvest and effort control. The two regulation schemes are interrelated, i.e. a given quota limit will necessarily determine the effort used, and vice versa. It is important to acknowledge this causality when assessing combined effort and harvest regulation systems. A bioeconomic feedback model is pres... Mehr ...
