With the growing importance of individual transferable quotas (ITQs) infisheries management, it is critical to document and understand what happens when indi-vidual quotas are implemented. In-person interviews with fishing business owners and otherswere conducted in 1987 and 1995 in New Zealand, where ITQs were implemented in 1986.Similar interviews and mail surveys were completed in 1993–1994 with participants inBritish Columbia’s (Canada) halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) fishery, where individualvessel quotas were implemented in 1991. Results indicate (1) an end of the ‘‘race for fish,’’(2) industry participants’ maximization of returns from quota holdings, and (3) stronginfluence of individual quota system design details on outcomes. Implications of ITQs forsustainable fisheries management are discussed.
