Abstract

The word ‘capacity’ is commonly used to describe skills, capabilities or competence, but in fisheries this word may also be related to several specific issues that include harvesting fish by fishing vessels as well as to the biological concept of fishing mortality, fishing technologies, fishing power, and economics. In order to accommodate the differences in the definitions of fishing capacity, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has adopted a definition of fishing capacity as the “amount of fish (or fishing effort) that can be produced over a period of time (e.g. a year or a fishing season) by a vessel or a fleet if fully utilized and for a given resource condition”.
