The first one is the time frame (the shorter the involvement, the more unlikely an investor will commit vessels and crew) and security of involvement in harvesting (better managed fisheries are likely to be more attractive to foreign investors). In short, long-term access to secure user rights of well managed resources is often seen as an operational parameter which encourages investment and reduces risk. Some companies “go global” because domestic possibilities are limited (for example, a cap exists on quota holding in Norway and Iceland) and hence investing abroad in quotas is the only way to expand the resource base for processing.
