不列颠哥伦比亚省大比目鱼渔业实施个人渔船配额提供了一个独特的机会，可以检查这一管理技术对以前激烈的“德比”渔业的影响。这份文件描述了自1991年实行单船配额以来渔业所发生的变化。这里提出的结果主要是基于两项调查的结果。1993年9月，我们深入访问了不列颠哥伦比亚省大部分主要的比目鱼加工商。这些加工商报告说，大比目鱼的加工和销售发生了重大变化。1994年春，我们对所有435名持牌大比目鱼渔民进行了一次邮寄调查。调查由几个问题组成，旨在衡量捕捞作业的变化(船员规模、捕捞做法等)、配额租赁活动、捕捞收入的变化，以及对IVQ影响的看法。这里介绍的结果提供了关于不列颠哥伦比亚省大比目鱼IVQ计划迄今影响的重要信息，并将有助于与其他地方实施的类似管理计划进行比较。
Implementation of individual vessel quotas (IVQs) in the British Columbia halibut fishery has provided a unique opportunity to examine the effects of this management technique on a previously intense "derby" fishery. This paper describes the changes that have occurred in the fishery since the introduction of individual vessel quotas in 1991. The results presented here are largely based on the findings of two surveys. In September 1993, we conducted in-depth interviews with most of the major halibut processors in British Columbia. These processors reported significant changes in the processing and marketing of halibut. In Spring 1994, we conducted a mail survey of all 435 licensed halibut fishermen. The survey consisted of several series of questions designed to measure changes in fishing operations (crew size, fishing practices, etc.), quota leasing activities, changes in fishing income, and opinions about the effects of IVQs. The results presented here provide important information about the effects of the British Columbia halibut IVQ program to date and will be useful for comparison to similar management programs implemented elsewhere.
