Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Environmental Economics
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

As a management goal, the static interpretation of MSY [maximum sustainable yield, i. e., a fixed catch that can be taken year after year] is generally not appropriate because it ignores the fact that fish populations undergo natural fluctuations... in abundance and will usually ultimately become severely depleted under a constant-catch strategy.... Thus, most fisheries scientists now interpret MSY in a more dynamic sense as the maximum average yield(MAY) [, ] obtained by applying a specific harvesting strategy to a fluctuating resource.

Record 4 2022-04-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Modelling (Mathematics)
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

Surplus production models ... are among the simplest and most widely used in [fish] stock assessment. They are easy to use because they require only two or three types of data. These models are flexible and have different variations; the Schaefer, Fox, and Pella-Tomlinson models are some of the best known.

OBS

The surplus production model works on the assumption that fish produce more than enough offspring for the population to be maintained. A maximal sustainable yield(MSY), then, would be the surplus quantity of fish that could theoretically be removed from that population without leading to a decline.
