Efficient Management in Fisheries Resource and Trade Policy

Several highly cited papers suggest that the majority of commercially exploited fish stocks globally are extremely overexploited and up to one-third of commercial fishery stocks may be overfished at present. In developing countries institutions are very weak. For management of fisheries resource this implies that the means needed for optimal management are not in place. Monitoring, control and enforcement are costly, and fisheries often work under open access or co-management. In this situation, for countries that export fish products trade policy measures will best work on the export side. The weak institution make traditional tax collection difficult. Export tax will be collected easier and less costly. But in generally export taxes are known for their market distortions for consumers and producers. To avoid overfished, We will in this paper be prepared one of appropriate policy tools above mentioned within framework of a two-sector general equilibrium model combined with well known Schaefer(1957)model. We find that there exists positive export tax that will increase the resource stock and the gross domestic product.
