Considerable Promise

Fisheries management has undergone a complex and tortuous process of development. From its initial stages as a largely intuitive activity, gradual incorporation of a biological basis has greatly strengthened its effectiveness. At present, there is considerable promise that a coherent, scientifically sound body of management science will soon emerge. The influence of F. E. J. Fry is inextricably associated with these developments.

Recent fishery failures, combined with changing views on management, point to the critical and urgent need for a new approach to fisheries management. Future management should focus on integrated fisheries, rather than solely on fish populations, and will require an appropriate combination of biological considerations with operational, social, and economic considerations of the fishery. This requires development of both a conceptual framework and an appropriate methodology for interdisciplinary decision making in fisheries management. We propose integration of the traditional fields of fisheries science and management with the scientific approach of management science to form Fisheries Management Science. Fisheries management science provides the framework and methodologies for defining multiple objectives and constraints, modelling alternative management scenarios, and assessing and managing risk. This framework accepts diverse information sources toward anticipatory decision making and consensus building, and offers a new paradigm within which effective fisheries management can emerge.

The Law

As part of the rapprochement between juridical science and management science, alongside the disciplines of Law and Economics and Law and Finance a new approach known as Law and Management has appeared (Masson & Bouthinon–Dumas 2011, p. 233). The latter aims at demonstrating that the law is not simply a source of constraint for economic operators; it can also be a source of opportunity and a lever for business prosperity. In this sense, this approach aims at understanding how businesses can use the law to their advantage and make it a decisive factor for their development (Ibidem). In the particular context of developing a competitive European strategy, the consideration of fair competition can render this new approach highly significant.

New Knowledge

A new management strategy for Ontario fisheries was addressed by a federal–provincial task force in 1974–76. It was initiated in an atmosphere of concern over the deteriorating status of fish stocks in Ontario, and indeed elsewhere in Canada. The task force published interim documents on "Goals and Issues," on "Mandates," and on "Objectives." These received limited distribution for criticism. This report summarizes the proposed "Strategy." Speaking generally, it has become abundantly clear that our traditional approach to fisheries management — development-oriented, exploitive, open access — is no longer appropriate in the 1970s and 1980s. That approach, together with the accelerating impacts of land and water uses that conflict with fisheries, has resulted in serious losses in our resource base, particularly during the past two or three decades. A new approach to fisheries management, characterized generally by maintenance in the north and by rehabilitation in the south is now essential. Much of the scientific and technical knowledge needed for the new approach is already available. To apply that knowledge, and to achieve the new knowledge and current data series necessary to its application, a major new initiative is necessary. That initiative, though costly in comparison to past levels of expenditure, seems easily justified in terms of the current economic value of the resources. Furthermore, additional values attributable to fisheries resources are now gaining wide acceptance; e.g. healthy fish communities are indicators of healthy aquatic environments. The new initiative will require more than just funding. It will require the evolution of different value systems, and of new and/or more explicit policies regarding— a new level of public participation;— a "user pays" policy in place of the free access philosophy of the past — to meet some of the increased cost of managing the resource;— more limited access and increased emphasis on protection in place of the open access, common property approach of the past;— explicit recognition that "experimental management" is needed to gain the new knowledge necessary to manage;— recognition that management of fisheries requires greater attention to environmental quality matters;— explicit allocation of those parts of the resource base available for commercial and for recreational use;— new working arrangements between fisheries agencies and other institutions.

Harvest Control Rules

Abstract Fisheries management systems can utilize probability-based harvest control rules to incorporate scientific uncertainty and manager risk tolerance when setting catch limits. A precautionary buffer that scales with scientific uncertainty is used to calculate the acceptable biological catch from the overfishing limit (OFL) for US West Coast groundfish and coastal pelagic species. A previous analysis formed the basis for estimating scientific uncertainty as the among-assessment variation in estimates of historical spawning biomass time-series. This “historical biomass” approach may underestimate scientific uncertainty, because the OFL is a function of estimated exploitable biomass and fishing mortality. We developed a new approach that bases the calculation of scientific uncertainty on projected spawning biomass (SSB) and OFLs, accounting for uncertainty in recruitment and among-assessment variation. OFL projections yielded a higher estimate of uncertainty than SSB (0.502 vs. 0.413 for 25-year projections and 0.562 vs. 0.384 for a 1-year projection, assuming a deterministic stock-recruitment relationship). Assuming a stochastic stock-recruitment relationship produced smaller estimates of uncertainty (0.436, 25-year OFL projections; 0.452, 1-year OFL projections; 0.360, 25-year SSB projections; 0.318, 1-year SSB projections). The projection-based approach presented herein is applicable across stocks and regions that conduct assessments with sufficient and consistent outputs for calculating an OFL.
