Abstract

Designing proper procedures for regulating the relationship between fish resources and fishers is a major problem for sustainable management and development. Norway introduced individual and maximum quotas following a crisis in the cod fisheries in 1990. For equity reasons, quotas were distributed on the perceived neutral basis of vessel length. However, the fishing pattern of small-scale fishers shows no clear relation between vessel length and annual catches. Small-scale fisher adaptations to this new regime provide an interesting exposure of how quotas work in a household economy.
