Abstract
The paper analyzes the human implications of a shrimp fishery ban in Northwest Iceland in 1978. The significance of the impact revoles around the “echo effect” (which means that the impact is not felt until several seasons after the Ban) and other factors. On a more germane level, this study shows that policies seldom have an immediate impact. Governmental action, moreover, produces short‐term coping mechanism within the fishery. Finally, policies are likely to produce homogenous patterns of production which affect a fisherman's status in his community.
