The economics of unwanted by-catch and a landing obligation

Peder Andersen, Lisa Ståhl

Abstract

Unwanted by-catch is a serious problem around the world. Often, by-catch is discarded and results in direct food waste, and indirectly often influences biodiversity, stock abundance and long-term catch. To minimize by-catch problems, various fisheries management rules are applied, such as legal minimum sizes of landed fish, mesh sizes in fishing gears and closed areas. A more dramatic approach is to reduce the discards of unwanted catches by a landing obligation for all caught fish, independent of size and quality. For some years, this has been part of the fishery policy in countries such as Norway and Iceland.
