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.
Reviews / Votes
"I have seen the value, over the years, of bringing management science and fisheries together, and this book meets the challenge of making that connection in a comprehensive manner. The book will undoubtedly help many more fishery people to become familiar with the ideas, methods and results of management science." - from the Foreword, by Anthony Charles, Director, School of the Environment, and Professor, School of Business, Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Canada"This book is a fantastic set of case studies and overview chapters on how fisheries are actually managed, and the tools that are used. It provides both introductory and in depth chapters on the application of quantitative methods to the management of fisheries. The case studies by a stellar cast of scientists provide in-depth analysis of some of the most interesting, and difficult fisheries management problems. Both novice and experienced fisheries scientists will find a great deal of valuable information in this book." - Ray Hilborn, Professor, School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, USA
"It takes no pressure to recommend Management Science in Fisheries...The editors set out to describe how natural resource management is practised in the marine environment through management strategies and their quantitative evaluation...the editors fully achieved their goal for both the technical and non-technical flavours of the science and the natural and sociological science. This book is useful for us all, even more so for the ocean." Fish and Fisheries, Lotte W. Clausen, ICES, Denmark

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
