Abstract

Fishing is a uniquely difficult industry for policymakers to deal with, throwing up complex and inherently international issues of access to, and conservation of, its resource base. It also generates more familiar problems of economic development support, especially in times of depression. This short introduction sketches out some of these issues, providing context for the Forum contributions which follow.
