"there has been some evidence showing that due to highgrading little progress has been made."
this is lacking a citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.124.250.132 ( talk) 18:44, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
I think these two should be merged. I like the "Individual fishing quota" as a title more, since it is more descriptive, and the term which I was familiar with prior to reading these articles. II | ( t - c) 00:58, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I removed "essentially a free for all" on the Command and Control section, because this is generally not true. Restrictions to gear type, boat size, number of entrants, fishing times, vessel sizes, etc were often in place during command and control era.
I deleted "so it's future availability is not compromised by current exploitation rates." This line is somewhat misleading. ITQ's were originally designed for economic reasons - to prevent the over-capitalization of the industry that arises from the competitive "race to fish." Setting a scientifically based total allowable catch (TAC) is the aspect of catch shares that prevents over exploitation, but this isn't a unique property of catch shares, nor is it related to the rationalization, which is the pre-allocation and privatization of the fishery.
I removed "undamaged" because it is not necessarily true, nor were fish typically "damaged" before catch shares.
I removed "higher and profitable price." The year round availability of fresh Halibut that results from catch shares does raise the price, so I think that this statement just needed to be expanded on to explain the causality and how it relates to Halibut. Also, "profitable" is redundant, since "higher" is obviously more profitable. It could be pointed out that most fishermen receive less money for their halibut due to lease fees, and fishing is generally less profitable because of this.
I added the statement:
People often call ITQ's a "cap and trade" form of fishery management, so I just wanted it to be clear that it doesn't really work like carbon caps.
Removed "Had to go out" and replaced it with, "sometimes embarked". I prefer the new edit "tended to fish," but it still could be more accurate. Many fishermen choose not fish in rough weather regardless of management scheme. It should indicate that this behavior wasn't universal, but was more likely before ITQ's. How about:
or it could be "many" but it shouldn't be implied that this is a universal attribute. Alaskaa ( talk) 05:25, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
I'd like to edit the command and control section. Fisheries are still under common ownership in ITQ programs, as both UN law and national policies policies dictate that fish still aren't owned until they are caught. ITQ property rights are for the right to harvest fish, but the actual fish are still not owned until landed. Additionally, common property attributes still apply to ITQ fisheries because harvest rights are shared among ITQ holders. Changes in biomass and variability of the market value of the fish are distributed among the stakeholders, and are not acutely concentrated on a single individual (unless there is a single stakeholder). Additionally, it is the catch limits in ITQ's that reduces over-harvesting due to common property issues, but this isn't unique to these programs, as many fisheries are still managed by limiting the harvest but without the pre-distribution of catch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alaskaa ( talk • contribs) 18:16, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
