  • Environmental Management
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

... using input-based measures for measuring [fishing] overcapacity is very complicated. It is because these measures involve not only the vessel used to harvest fish, but also other factors, such as labour, capital and fish stocks. Furthermore, seasonality and fluctuation of stocks, the condition of multi-species and multi-gear fisheries can increase the complexity when determining the optimal mix of inputs needed in producing a desired output level.

Incentive adjusting measures are... designed to eliminate or mitigate the fishers’ tendencies towards overexploitation and overcapitalization by attempting to address property rights issues and allowing the market to assist in reducing overcapacity. It is simply put that incentive adjusting measures correct overcapacity by creating market incentives that decrease capacity levels in a fishery. These measures are considered as long run solutions to address overcapacity [problems].

  • Production Management
CONT

If many monopolists entered the industry, with all keeping their price too high but with total business so divided up among them that none ends up making any exorbitant monopoly profit. Then the evil effect on the income distribution would not exist, but the resulting wasteful pattern of overcapacity in the industry and too high price could persist until doomsday.

  • Économique
OBS

«Immobilisations» ne peut ici traduire capital étant donné que ce dernier terme englobe bâtiments, bateaux, engins de pêche, équipement et matériel de transformation. De plus, c'est «biens d'équipement» qui doit accompagner «labour» dans ce contexte. Si «capital» englobait des sommes investies, «capital and labour» serait rendu par «capital et main d'œuvre» ou «capital et emploi» selon le contexte.
