A research on the bigeye tuna catch quotas system of the international commission for the conservation of Atlantic tunas
The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna(ICCAT)determines the annual total allowable catch of bigeye tuna(BET)and implements the fishing quota system accord-ing to the basic principles of the two-year historical average catch from 1991 to 1992.By sorting out the standards of quota allocation,suggestions and reports relating to the quota system over the years,and combining the nominal catch of BET of China and the implementation of the quota system,we have dug out four core standards for the development of ICCAT catch quota system,the average historical catch of the 1991-1992,the undeveloped quota not exceeding 15％of the total of the country can be trans-ferred under ICCAT authorization,the overfishing will be penalized for two consecutive management periods,and the quota for the fishing year will be adjusted to the next year.Four suggestions have been put forward to safeguard the interests of China's Atlantic BET fishery,which included improving the quota allocation system of BET;actively participating in the consultation of quota formulation,strengthening the ability of Chinese administrative departments,scientific research departments to par-ticipate in international fishery consultation and negotiation,and strengthening the capacity of fulfilling the Atlantic tuna fishery.
