Unimpeded construction of purse seine vessels, backed by publicly provided credit, and conversion from trawlers to the purse seine gear helped counter capacity reduction from the trawl ban.
The bioeconomic model results showed that there was a rapid increase in the deep trawlers fishing effort, and a decline in the stocks of fish that these vessels were after.
This limited access policy includes prohibiting construction of new trawlers and phasing out of the biologically destructive push net fishery.

The restrictions on future expansion of purse seines and deep trawlers helped restore the stocks particularly of demersal species.
The fauna consisted of 13 aerial foragers, 9 gleaners, 11 fruit/leaf eaters, one trawler, one flower-visitor and one blood-feeder.
However, the total number of registered trawlers and push nets has again increased.
In our study, the partial removal of cost-inefficient trawlers and gillnets helped ease the crowding effects early on.
