Abstract:
Atlantic sea scallop (Placopecten magelanicus) fishery, prosecuted off the East Coast of the United States, is among the most valuable in nation. Managed using a hybrid system of input and output controls, the U.S. Atlantic sea scallop fishery is largely considered to be a management success, with the majority of harvest coming from vessels that receive a mix of days-at-sea and allocations that can be fished in specific areas. The primary method of managing these record recruitment events was through rotational management with specified possession limits (output controls). Adopted in 2004, this time-tested strategy aims to improve yield-per-recruit by closing areas with high densities of juvenile scallops for a period and re-opening the areas for fishing several years later. Recent environmental change, predation, and the performance biomass forecasts have presented new challenges to the rotational management paradigm.
