Act No. 45 of 2009 authorizes the Minister to determine the Total Allowable Catches (TACs) in the Fishing Area of the Republic of Indonesia (FARI). The determination of TACs is used as an effort to preserve fish resources in Indonesian marine. TACs is catch limit by all the fishing actor within a certain period that are set for most commercial fish stock in FARI. TAC is different from fishing quotas. TACs did not set fishing quotas, either for individual or corporation which have fishing activities. TACs mechanism is inadequate for over-fishing or over-exploitation to fish resources prevention because there are still some FARI that classified as over-exploited for certain species of fish. The aim of this study was to find a better legal mechanism than TACs which can be used to prevent overfishing. The research method used is the normative research method with the statute approach. The conclusion is the fishing quotas regulation is required for the protection of fish resources in Indonesia and prevent the inequity in fishing and fish trade in Indonesia.

“…Due to the interest of shipowners in this system, transferable amounts have become non-transferable. In manageable marketable amounts, one can distinguish (Acheson, Apollonio, Wilson, 2015): individual transferable quota (ITQ) and individual fisheries quota (IFQ) -individual, transferable amount transferred to the fisherman for his discretion; individual vessels quota -individual amount allocated to boats; community development quota -when the amount is allocated to a given community, e.g. fish-gathering; territorial use in fisheries TURFS, when quotas -rights belong to a given geographical area.…”

The aim of the paper is to present issues connected with responsibility in the fishery industry. The paper discusses the "tragedy of common." An attempt was made to formulate proposals for how to increase the efficiency of marine resource management and reduce the problem of declining fisheries. The publication analyses the current Common Fisheries Policy in the context of overfishing. It will take a great deal of serious effort for fishermen, scientists and politicians to solve the problem of the Baltic Sea. The rebirth of fish stocks will create healthier ecosystems and greater reproduction of fish populations. A higher number of fish schools may result in more balanced catch figures. It is expected that profits will increase and thereby result in more jobs and higher salaries, leading to a greater overall profitability of the fishing sector.

“…Avoiding the negative biological and economic outcomes of a "race to fish" is one of the main goals stated in the national catch share policy (NOAA 2010). Simply stated, catch share systems are designed to match the level of fishing effort in a fishery to amount of available fish stocks (volume of catch per quota share holder) using tradable shares to achieve an economically efficient equilibrium (Acheson, Apollonio and Wilson 2015). The process of reducing harvest capacity to match target catch limits by various mechanisms is also known as "rationalization".…”
