“…The maximum age that any individual can reach was 6 years old. During their life, individuals grew in length towards the asymptotic length, which was 50 cm for both species (Table 5. 1). Conversion from length to weight was also equal for the two species (Fig.…”

“…There is a general perception that the introduction of the landing obligation is a positive forward step in the rationalization of fisheries in the European Union, part of a move towards "greener" fisheries (Borges and Penas Lado, 2019). Nevertheless, the precise implementation of the landing obligation is not without controversy, and the direct and indirect consequences of its application are open to discussion (see chapter 2).…”

“…5.4). Migration was parameterized so that a gradual diffusion occurred between the two areas, equal to 2.5 percent of the difference in abundance (Table 5. 1). For the unfished situation this led to a clear segregation of the younger ages over the two areas, while the older ages were equally distributed over the two areas (Fig.…”

“…There were two fish species in the model, both of which are caught by the fishery. The annual number of recruits was equal for the two species, and arbitrarily set to 500 per year (Table 5. 1). The species differed with respect to their nursery grounds: all individuals of species 1 were born in the northern area, while all individuals of species 2 were born in the southern area (Fig.…”

“…Each of the countries included in this review use management regimes that are based on ITQ (individual transferable quota) systems. The exceptions are New Zealand, Europe and the Faroe Islands, which combine both ITQs and extra management regimes ((Marchal et al, 2016;Motos and Wilson, 2006;Sanchirico et al, 2006); Table 2. 1). New Zealand also has annual catch entitlements, which are generated by multiplying the proportional ITQ by the annually available TAC, and can be bought and sold independently (MRAG, 2007).…”

BackgroundChapter 1 Box 2. CFP-Landing Obligation covered in Article 15The CFP is the EU's instrument for the management of fisheries and aquaculture. In 2013, the Council and Parliament reached agreement on a new CFP for the long-term environmental, economic, and social sustainability of fishing and aquaculture activities. The new CFP's basic regulation (EU, 2013) entered into force on 1 January 2014. The regulation makes fundamental changes to the way that Europe's fisheries are managed, with the aim of managing fish stocks sustainably to ensure a prosperous fishing industry and a healthy marine environment. Thus, the reform includes making use of the MSY reference points as targets for exploiting commercially important fish stocks.One of the most important points in the CFP is the introduction of a landing obligation. The landing obligation is only applicable to TAC-regulated species in the Atlantic and to species previously subject to minimum landing size regulations in the Mediterranean Sea. Thus, catches must be retained on board, recorded, and landed. The landing obligation requires all catches of regulated commercial species on-board to be counted against quota whilst undersized fish cannot be marketed for direct human consumption purposes. It is being phased in across fisheries and species, starting with pelagic fisheries and fisheries in the Baltic Sea in 2015 and is to be completed by 2019, in accordance with a specified time frame (Fig. 1.1). Figure 1.1: Time-frame for the landing obligation implementation. Thesis objectiveChapter 1 stocks and the economics of mixed fisheries. To this end, this thesis addresses three key aspects of the implementation of a landing obligation. Box 7. Worldwide discard management regimes experiencesDiscard restrictions and discard management regimes have been implemented to different extents in a number of fisheries around the world (e.g.,
