Economic And Legal Aspects Of Japanese Fisheries Regulation And Control, Salvatore Comitini Oct 1967

Economic And Legal Aspects Of Japanese Fisheries Regulation And Control, Salvatore Comitini

Washington Law Review

Japan is unique among the so-called free-market economies in that over 85 percent of all fishing operations is regulated and controlled by law. This distinguishing characteristic of Japanese fishing operations has led some observers to infer that it may be the most signficant factor in the seemingly "comparative advantage" which Japan enjoys over Western nations in high seas fishing. However, the regulations, as they have developed, are not as rigidly imposed and inflexible as those under a centrally planned economy such as that of the Soviet Union. Nor are the regulations quite as limited—in the economic sense of that term—as …


Some Japanese Far-Sea Fisheries, Fukuzo Nagasaki Oct 1967

Some Japanese Far-Sea Fisheries, Fukuzo Nagasaki

Washington Law Review

This paper briefly describes some of the Japanese far-sea fisheries in the Pacific Ocean which are now of international concern. This includes some of the Japanese salmon fisheries (including some classified in the off-shore fishery), the kingcrab fishery and the bottomfish fishery in the northern North Pacific, and the tuna fishery in the Pacific Ocean. Brief remarks are also made on recent conditions of the major stocks.


Food Fishery Policies In The Western United States, William F. Royce, Edward D. Hansen Oct 1967

Food Fishery Policies In The Western United States, William F. Royce, Edward D. Hansen

Washington Law Review

Some of the obstacles to the growth of our fishing economy may lie in governmental policies relating to conservation and development of our food fish resources and food fish industry. Both the objectives and the means of achieving food fishery policies involve a system of government control over the business and the resource. We shall examine food fishery policies in the four states bordering on the Pacific Ocean: California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. Our primary objective is to describe those policies, the authority from which they derive, the objectives and practices of the responsible departments, and the source of the …


Politics Of The North Pacific Fisheries—With Special Reference To The Twelve-Mile Bill, Kline R. Swygard Oct 1967

Politics Of The North Pacific Fisheries—With Special Reference To The Twelve-Mile Bill, Kline R. Swygard

Washington Law Review

The purpose of this paper is to review the historical development of the federal legislation which established "a contiguous fishing zone beyond the territorial sea of the United States," popularly known as the 12-mile bill, with particular reference to the interplay of political forces in order to expose politics and its role in the North Pacific fisheries


Management Of The North Pacific Fisheries: Economic Objectives And Issues, James A. Crutchfield Oct 1967

Management Of The North Pacific Fisheries: Economic Objectives And Issues, James A. Crutchfield

Washington Law Review

In this paper, we attempt to narrow the areas of conflict by specifying more precisely the objectives of fishery utilization (and, inferentially, of fisheries management) in the North Pacific, and by analysis of the extent to which the optimal combination of regulatory measures in a theoretical framework must be modified to accommodate the technological, administrative, and political complexities that beset an international fishery. The basic bioeconomic theory of an ocean fishery is modified to show its application to a typical case involving interdependent exploited species and international differences in market prices of both inputs and end products. The analysis is …


Washington Timber Deeds And Contracts, Ralph W. Johnson Mar 1957

Washington Timber Deeds And Contracts, Ralph W. Johnson

Washington Law Review

The law of Washington concerning the interests conveyed by timber deeds and contracts is foggy. Many vital questions are still totally unanswered, or have been left in confusion, by the cases in point. The principal area of doubt revolves around the question of whether standing timber, which has been sold separately from the land on which it stands, is realty or personalty. The answer is vital for many reasons. It determines whether a husband has power as manager of the community to convey community-owned timber without his wife's signature, which statute of frauds applies to a timber transaction, which recording …


The Washington Fisheries Code Of 1949: Constitutionality Of Discriminatory Provisions, Edward H. Mckinlay Aug 1949

The Washington Fisheries Code Of 1949: Constitutionality Of Discriminatory Provisions, Edward H. Mckinlay

Washington Law Review

One of the most important statutes enacted in the 1949 session of the Washington legislature is Chapter 112 of the 1949 Session Laws, which, with its complement, Chapter 107, forms the new Fisheries Code of the state, replacing the old provisions which had been in effect with variations since 1915. The new Code is singular, not only in the very broad administrative powers given to the Director of Fisheries, an office created by the Act, but also by virtue of the fact that certain of its licensing provisions were inserted in apparent defiance of three recent United States Supreme Court …


Legal Limits Of Coastal Fishery Protection, Edward W. Allen Jan 1946

Legal Limits Of Coastal Fishery Protection, Edward W. Allen

Washington Law Review

Lawyers of the Pacific Coast and all lawyers dealing with international law will be interested in President Truman's proclamation of September 28th, wherein he sets forth a constructive policy for the control and conservation of the coastal fisheries of this and other nations. Thus is brought to consummation a campaign originating on this coast some ten years ago to demand that our government review the subject of ocean fisheries and adopt an affirmative policy consistent with existing facts and a rational interpretation of international law.


Timber Deeds—A Case For The Restatement Of The Law Of Property, Eugene C. Luccock Nov 1945

Timber Deeds—A Case For The Restatement Of The Law Of Property, Eugene C. Luccock

Washington Law Review

Presumably, to a lumberman, a manufacturer, a wage earner or an investor a stand of trees is just a given number of trees of various types, or, perhaps better, a given quantity in board feet of merchantable lumber, which can be profitably converted into money as and when proximity to market and market price permit. More broadly, to a conservationist, trees in various stages of growth are national assets capable of continuous reproduction and the source of a constant as well as an immediate supply of material for structural and other uses. These differences in approach aside, and leaving out …


Control Of Fisheries Beyond Three Miles, Edward W. Allen Apr 1939

Control Of Fisheries Beyond Three Miles, Edward W. Allen

Washington Law Review

Our Pacific Northwest has attained worldwide recognition from the fact that here a successful system was initiated by two independent nations for the conservation of a deep sea fishery. Now it appears probable that the threatened disruption of this system may in turn give birth to new conceptions of international law. Strictly legal phases of this situation are so interwoven with the economic and the diplomatic that a factual as well as a legal background is essential to their complete appreciation.
