Abstract:	"The question we pose, although cannot yet answer with certainty, is whether the current set of crises in fisheries -- from the salmon of the West Coast of North America to the groundfish of the East Coast of North America -- will open the door to institutional-cultural, social, political- change. There are theoretical and logical grounds for thinking that crisis and institutional change might be linked (Holling 1986; Kuhn 1962, 1970) although the nature and outcomes of linkages are not so straightforward (Lee 1993)."
