Assessment of the effectiveness of scup bycatch-reduction regulations in the Loligo squid fishery
Article Abstract:
The success of the 2003 net regulations and the potential influence of time-area closures (GRAs) in achieving a reduction in scup discarding is evaluated at the Loligo squid fishery of Mid-Atlanta. Discard reduction cannot be accomplished without adequate prior evaluation of the sources of discards, without the requisite and concomitant experimental evaluation of the results of regulatory reform, and without adequate commercial-scale testing of prospective reforms before implementation.

Community-level access and control in the management of Lake Victoria's fisheries
Article Abstract:
Findings from recent research and arguments that notions of access are linked to community perceptions of the resource, control over it and their own individual and collective maneuverings designed to retain and improve livelihoods are described. It is shown that the relationships that define Lake Victoria's fishing communities are the template upon which future managerial designs must be implemented.
