Abstract:Resource rents play an important role in natural resources exploitation and management, which can promote a sustainable development for fisheries resources, and also provide a necessary capital for reproduction of fisheries resources. In this paper, we estimate the rent of fisheries resources of Scomber japonicus in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea in 2008, using bio economic model and rent capture in the maximum sustainable yield as a reference. This study suggests that the complete economic value of chub mackerel is 373.03 million yuan, the catch worth is 179.70 million yuan, while the maximum sustainable yield of the economic value is 157.89 million yuan in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea in 2008. With the growth of chub mackerel, the economic value is 13.81 million yuan which is an average increase in annual and fishing rent (net) is 9.81 million yuan. Therefore, the economic data are from China, Japan and South Korea based on the fishery in the year 2008, the accumulative yield and benefit in 5 years are 1.45 megaton and 0.40 billion yuan, the accumulative yield and benefit in 10 years are 3.10 megaton and 1.27 billion yuan, the accumulative yield and benefit in 20 years are 6.37 megaton and 3.04 billion yuan. For the above, we propose to have a reform for coastal fisheries resources management in China, to reduce fishing intensity by charging resource rent. This method is not only to ensure the sustainable development of coastal fishery resources, but also reflects the interests of resources owners, and this research result has an important significance to the sustainable development of coastal fisheries.
