While rights-based management systems have often been encouraged as effective management tools, few studies have analyzed the effects of those systems empirically. In this article, we have focused on a special form of the territorial use rights in fisheries strategy, namely, an income-pooling system, and examined the effects of this system empirically. Earlier studies have regarded the control of fish landing amount and improvement of the quality of fish as the two main determining factors in such a system. Consequently, in our study, we estimated the relationships between these two factors and the price of fish using the econometric method. The results show that the two factors do indeed have significant effects on price changes.
