Answer 1

After 1954 is the best answer I can get.  That's when he published his article.

H. Scott Gordon was the first economist to notice that under open access situations, fisheries become over-fished and rents become dissipated in the race for fish. Managers increasingly concerned with the tragedy of the commons started setting TACs, and calibrating a fishing season in which it was possible to catch only the TAC. Using technology, fishers were able to beat the system and consistently exceed the harvest plans. Seasons were getting shorter and shorter as harvesters built up capital. Harvesting was becoming more and more expensive and often dangerous. ITQs were proposed to eliminate the need for this race to fish by promising each harvester a portion of the catch and allowing them to catch it at a minimum cost.
