Use of Incentive-Based Management Systems to Limit Bycatch and Discarding

摘要: In most fisheries, a number of species are unintentionally caught as bycatch while attempting to catch the targeted species. While much problem is technological in nature due imperfect selectivity fishing gear, fisher behaviour also plays major role. How, when and where fishers choose fish can influence composition thereby quantity bycatch. Behavioural changes be encouraged through development an appropriate set incentives — both economic social avoid reduce discarding. this paper, alternative incentive-based management systems reviewed. The potential applicability these quota species, non-commercial threatened or conservation-dependent (such turtles, seals, dolphins) reviewed, examples their application presented. review concludes that approaches level discarding fisheries.
