Abstract

In May 2006, three years after discussions between key local actors and a panel of international experts from countries like Australia and New Zealand, where fisheries are managed by individual transferable quotas (ITQs), a management plan for the octopus fishery was adopted by Mauritania. Management of this fishery is more than necessary, given its economic predominance, and the decline in profits in recent decades.
