The European Union has been applying a top-down and centralized approach to management of fish stocks to try dealing with the complexity of the marine environment. Since the establishment of the Common Fisheries Policy in 1983 the principle of relative stability has maintained the main resource “conservation” component of the policy, despite all its criticism for being the major driving factor for discards in for example the North Sea fisheries. In addition a focus has been placed on landings rather than catches, simplifying the problem of incidental catches to remove liability of the fishermen. A ban on discards and an obligation to land all commercial catches are now to be implemented. The obligation has received much attention from the public, governing agencies of member states and fishers themselves.
The success of the change depend both on new regulations and if the EU gets fishers on the same page through normative and cognitive change among the fishers. This way it is possible to create governmentality which will favor governability of a landing obligation as fishers will self-govern themselves and others to avoid wasting marine resources. The ecological complexity combined with the complex regulative framework consisting of a path dependent principle of relative stability makes it difficult to change the system.

Governance and the study of shrimp revitalization program in Indonesia
Dyspriani, Polite (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-05-29)Shrimp world production in the last few years has shown very high growth rates. It is marked by an increasing of production volume, and by shifting from capture to aquaculture fisheries within the production system. This has occurred mostly regarding to the brackish water pond. For some years, the government has had to face hard choices in order to ensure shrimp aquaculture developed sustainable. ... -
Levendelagret rødspette (Pleuronectes platessa) – velferd og kvalitet
Pettersen, Ingrid Marie; Aaknes, Vilde Synnøve (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)I dag er verdikjeden for fisk og skalldyr bygget opp rundt utnyttelse av et fåtall arter som kan fanges i store volum og med høy markedsverdi. Bruk av lite eller ikke utnyttede marine ressurser kan være en bærekraftig tilnærming for å innfri fremtidige krav og etterspørsel til fiskekonsum. Rødspette (Pleuronectes platessa) er den viktigste flatfisken i volum og verdi i europeiske fiskerier. Både ... -
Boundary construction in mandated science : the case of ICES' advice on fisheries management
Nolde Nielsen, Kåre (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2008-11-21)What is the relationship between science and politics? What should it be? How are their respective roles conceived and acted out in practice? Should science and politics be clearly separated? How? Are there cases in which they can be usefully mixed? What cases are those, and are there some ways of mixing that are better than others? This project explores such questions by examining relationships ...
