Since the early 1970s, there have been significant changes in the conditions of governing the exploitation of marine fishery resources. These changes include the generalized extension of national jurisdiction over fisheries to 200 nautical miles; the decline in the rate of growth of world catch and the growing evidence of limits of supply; and the changes in the economic conditions including the rise in fuel prices and the economic recessions. These changes have had significantly different effects on different countries. This document contains case studies of the effects on eight countries: Argentina, Australia, Cuba, Kiribati, Malaysia, Marocco, Norway and Poland.
