The results show that fishermen involved in surface longline
and Grand Sole longline are more in favour of a system of nontransferable
annual effort. Only the fishermen involved in the
coastal trawl segment showed to be more in favour of a system of
non-transferable multiannual effort and, for their part, the fishermen
involved in the artisanal and gillnet segments were more
interested in a system of transferable effort. Among the reasons
those surveyed gave, the one that stands out is the danger of an
excessive concentration of quotas among fishermen who have a
greater capacity to purchase rights and, to a lesser extent, the loss of jobs on board vessels
