Abstract
Abstract The international legal system that governs ocean space and its uses has undergone substantial changes in recent years. Such changes may have significant implications for a variety of states and their nationals. This study seeks to contribute to an evaluation of the possible consequences of the revised legal system. The establishment of extended zones of national jurisdiction, such as the exclusive economic zone as provided for in the J982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and evolving international practice, alters traditional access rights to important fishing grounds and may change prior patterns of marine fish catch. Expectations with respect to changes in national fish catch, in the degree of concentration of world marine fish catch among a relatively small number of states, in the situation of distant water fishing states, and in the comparative importance of different fishing grounds are examined.
