The design, operation, and performance of fisheries
management systems around the world vary widely. There
is diversity in management institutions, strategies, and
tactics across different geographies, fishing fleets, and
taxonomic groups. It is uncertain which individual
management elements have the greatest influence on the
status of fished populations, as well as which external
factors influence the overall success of fisheries
management systems, on a global scale. We employed
expert surveys to characterize the management systems of
28 major fishing nations based on species, and we
investigated the influence of economic, geographic, and
fishery-related factors. Science-based catch or effort
restrictions are vital for successful fisheries management,
and monetary investment in fisheries can benefit
management objectives when used to cont.. View More»
