Abstract

The article examines the performance of territorial use rights in fisheries (TURFs) using data on the benthic loco fishery from 1989-1992 in Chile. It has been shown that abundance within TURFs and legal catch are stabilized, the fishery appears orderly, and perception of TURF is generally positive. However, the system is dual and at least half of the catch is illegal.
