The objective of this study was to demonstrate, for a global sample of Large-Scale Fishing (LSF) vessels, the extent to which the flag state of the vessels deviates from the country of incorporation of their registered and ultimate owners. This analysis is based on the premise that any change in the country of registration across hierarchical levels – the vessel, the registered owner, and the ultimate owner – reflects a geographic shift in the center of decision-making, control and – potentially – the flow of benefits accrued from fishing. The study aims to quantify and describe these country shifts (‘mismatches’), both globally and by continent, while also identifying which countries concentrate the most foreign-owned fishing vessels, and which flag states are most commonly used by foreign companies.
