Controversy over the expansion of pound netting in the largest US fisheries of the late nineteenth century marked an early conflict between those who considered fisheries a commons and those who sought to establish property rights in a fishery. Pound-netters physically staked out a specific part of the sea for their exclusive use, and their conception of their property rights resulted in significant overfishing of important food – and oil – fish species. Here, just as with the commons that many economists argue inevitably result in over-exploitation of a resource, regulation was rebuffed and the fisheries collapsed.

十九世纪末期美国最大的渔业中关于磅网扩大的争议标志着那些认为渔业是公地的人们与那些寻求在渔业中建立产权的人们之间的早期冲突。net鱼实际上将海洋的特定部分放样以供其专有使用，他们对财产权的概念导致重要食物和石油鱼类的大量过度捕捞。在这里，就像许多经济学家认为不可避免地导致对资源的过度开发所带来的公地一样，监管被拒绝，渔业陷入崩溃。
