Kaye (law, James Cook U., Queensland) analyzes two principal approaches to fisheries management with reference to international law. The first approach, reflected in the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, aims to maximize the yield of particular fish stocks. The second is founded on the precautionary approach and the associated concept of risk assessment, which take into account the management of the entire ecosystem. Kaye examines the difficulties common to both approaches in the area of compliance and presents suggestions for improving the management of stocks. His analysis focuses on the Bering Sea "Doughnut Hole" Convention and the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. c. Book News Inc.

Large pelagic fish are important to the small-scale, commercial and recreational fisheries in many Caribbean Community countries. As most are transboundary, their management requires collaboration among countries in the context of international fisheries agreements. The FAO Technical Cooperation Programme project described in this report sought to assist CARICOM countries in formulating an approach to the development and management of large pelagic fisheries. The project compiled and reviewed a wide range of material, including status of resources, fishery harvest and post-harvest sectors, status of national and regional management initiatives, and the extent to which countries are engaged in international management activities such as those undertaken by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).
