Abstract

A debate has emerged in the last three issues of SAMUDRA Report (Nos. 43-45) about rights-based fisheries and the allocation of fish resources. The debate was triggered by Derek Johnson in his review article on the Sharing the Fish Conference 2006 in Australia, in which he describes how the discussions on rights-based fishing were dominated by presenters from the rich, “temperate-minority” countries. Debate at the conference thus tended to focus on the options preferred by policymakers and economists in these countries; namely, market-based access rights and allocation mechanisms, such as individual transferable quotas (ITQs). Conference participants had little to say about the applicability of these or alternative rights schemes to the tropical-majority countries.
