This volume is concerned with the role of science in fishery
management. While this has traditionally been considered as largely
a biological problem with clear biological objectives, close
examination suggests that management decisions are largely
controlled by political, social and economic considerations,
biologically constrained. The biologist now has the task of
reducing the uncertainties of the venture rather than determining
its priorities or its allocation of benefits. The uncertainties
arise in part because of lack of understanding of the ecological
systems involved, the limited availability of critical information,
and the unpredictability of driving forces. The volume reviews the
assumptions and simplifications of fishery models, examines the
decision making framework in fishery management, and compares
management practices in North America, Japan, and Northern Europe.
A compilation of fishery management objectives in international
agreements and U.S. laws is included.
