The first thing that would happen is the small fishermen who owned shares would allow the large fishermen to catch their allocation – for a fee, of course. The large fishermen would then see benefit in owning those shares and cut out the middle man entirely.

This could lead to cartelization, which is something we see in the oil industry. Once a few companies own the catch, supply and demand goes to crap, because they can now choose to ‘underfish’ the same as OPEC chooses to slow oil production.

Just something to think about in advance, though I’m definitly not against the concept.
