A key goal of fisheries management is to regulate extractive
pressure on a resource so as to ensure social, economic and
ecological sustainability. This text provides an accessible entry
point for students and professionals to management science as
developed in fisheries, in order to facilitate uptake of the latest
ideas and methods. Traditional management approaches have relied
upon a stock assessment based on existing understanding of resource
status and dynamics, and a prediction of the likely future response
to a static management proposal. However all such predictions
include an inherent degree of uncertainty, and the last few decades
have seen the emergence of an adaptive approach that uses feedback
control to account for unknown future behaviour. Feedback is
achieved via a control rule, which defines a relationship between
perceived status of the resource and a management action.
Evaluations of such rules usually include computer simulation
testing across a broad range of uncertainties, so that an
appropriate and robust rule can be selected by stakeholders and
managers. The book focuses on this approach, which is usually
referred to as Management Strategy Evaluation. The book is enriched
by case study examples from different parts of the world, as well
as insights into the theory and practice from those actively
involved in the science of fisheries management.
