Description
Summary:Monitoring and enforcement in fisheries have been largely neglected in the study of management in this field. A formal model of fisheries law enforcement is presented to show how fishing companies perform their activities and how fisheries policies are affected by costly, imperfect enforcement of fisheries law.

And in the model presented is considered its possible use.
