Note presentation
Abstract Since 2006, French quotas are shared out into annual catch entitlements per producer organizations (PO) according a stable allocation key. On this basis, PO’s have imposed catch shares to their own members but allocation and management rules are heterogeneous between PO’s. The objective of the paper is  i) to assess the importance and the attributes of these catch shares programs in the Atlantic fisheries ii) to seek to explain the reasons for their adoption. The results are based on a national PO’s survey carried out to collect detailed information on PO’s considering their management capacity but also their current practices in terms of membership, catch share allocation and monitoring, capacity adjustment. The results are discussed in relation to the literature on the factors explaining co-management practices.
