Abstract

Preventing the incidence of over-exploitation is a central element of fisheries management. Therefore, fisheries managers should be able to comprehend the degree of exploitation in a fishery resource and if managers fail to take appropriate actions to avoid over-exploitation of the resource, they do not fulfill the goal of a very important mission, which is making sustainable utilization of fishery resources come true. Although fisheries managers are working with fishers and other relevant stakeholders who are making money from the fishery resources, in reality it is not an easy task to undertake fisheries management by limiting the fishing capacity at an appropriate level and avoiding and/or addressing the problem of overcapacity which undermines the longer term sustainability of the fishery resources.
