AB  - Illegal behaviour and public enforcement of law are important theoretical
and empirical subjects for Economics. They were dormant in economic scholarship,
until the article of Becker, 1968, “Crime and Punishment: An Economic
Approach”.
In the context of Fisheries Economics, the problem can be seen as an externality
arising when exclusive property rights are absent. That absence depends
on the costs of defining and enforcing exclusivity and the problem becomes
more complex when fisheries are transboundary.
The paper combines standard Economics of Fisheries analysis with the Theory
of “Crime and Punishment”. The conclusions are used to discuss the so-called
issue of “interlopers” in High Sea fisheries. The “unfinished business” of the
Law of the Sea, that is, the imprecise definition of property rights in the areas
of High Sea adjacent to Economic Exclusive Zones, were in the origin of a lot
of “fish wars” in the nineties. The 1995 UN agreement on transboundary stocks
and highly migratory species pretended to be a new form of cooperation,
including the introduction of new forms of enforcement and compliance with
the law, affecting fishing enterprises and convenience-flag vessels. However,
with the legal procedures that were proposed, it seems broadly bounded, the
potential effect of enforcement and regulation.
