This title was first published in 2003. Often ignored in the analysis of fishery management techniques, the cost of fishery management can be extremely high. Looking at theoretical aspects of fishery management costs, this book considers actual costs in a variety of countries and analyzes the potential for cost recovery by governments, of their financial outlays for fisheries management. The scope is international with studies of fisheries management costs in Australias Britains Canadas Icelands Norways Namibias New Zealand and Thailand. By providing both theoretical and empirical analyzes the editors present the agenda for future research in this previously overlooked field.
