Schelle, Kurt, K. Iverson, and B. Muse. Analysis for the "1,000 Pound Minimum
IFQ" Proposed Amendment to the
Individual Fishing Quota Management Alternative for Alaska's Fixed Gear Halibut
Fishery. A Discussion Draft Report distributed
by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council.
Abstract:
This Discussion Draft report was prepared at the request of the State of Alaska
for the North Pacific Fishery Management Council. It provides analysis of a proposal
to alter the NPFMC's current IFQ plan for the halibut fishery to guarantee a
minimum IFQ of 1,000 pounds to each participant. The report examines three one-time
initial allocation alternative approaches toward achieving a minimum 1,000 pound
IFQ in the implementation year. The report provides an analysis of the distributional
consequences of these approaches relative to NPFMC's current plan.
