The following objectives, stated below in order of priority, should guide Atlantic fisheries policy: 1)The Atlantic fishing industry should be economically viable on an ongoing basis, where to be viable implies an ability to survive downturns with only a normal business failure rate and without government assistance. 2)Employment in the Atlantic fishing industry should be maximized subject to the constraints that those employed receive a reasonable income as a result of fishery-related activities, including fishery-related income transfer payments. 3)Fish within the 200-mile Canadian zone should be harvested and processed by Canadians in firms owned by Canadians wherever this is consistant with Objectives 1 and 2 and with Canada's international treaty obligations.

Since 1976 there have been major changes in the circumstances affecting the fishing industry, particularly in Atlantic Canada. While there remain some underutilized species, and some stocks not yet fully rehabilitated, and also some real potential for enhancement/culture it is nevertheless clear that recent expansions in harvesting and processing capacity are such that the limits to growth are being reached and future development will have to concentrate on competitiveness, efficiency and extracting more value domestically from a limited resource. In light of these changing circumstances, the Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans decided in the summer of 1979 that a comprehensive review of fisheries policy should be undertaken to update the policy paper of 1976. As part of this policy review, an Atlantic Fisheries policy review has been carried out to establish an integrated consistent approach to issues affecting Atlantic Fisheries management in the 1980's. The general policy review has focused on the following sets of issues: (a) the consultative and decision-making process (b) resource management (c) primary sector problems (d) productivity and efficiency (e) marketing and (f) intergovernmental considerations and other matters.

Building on case studies, the present work presents an overview and a more general analysis of fisheries regulation and policies. It reviews some of the historical developments of the current policy objectives of fisheries management, analysing the alternative approaches taken to attain these objectives and the implications of each. The intent here is to clarify the goals of fisheries management and to identify the interdependence and necessary trade-offs between these goals. The final chapters evaluate the various approaches taken to regulate the fisheries and suggest appropriate directions for reform.
