Abstract
The paper examines the theory and practice of individual transferable quotas (ITQs) in fisheries. Using the experience of several countries, a number of ITQ programmes are examined with respect to fisher compli ance and their effect upon economic efficiency, employment, the harves ting shares of fishers, cost recovery and rent capture.
