... the fish stock can be augmented to enable a continuing availability through time. Thus fish... have the special feature that even though their utilisation results in depletion, new stocks are created by a process of self-generation. The regeneration occurs at a "natural" rate, often directly dependent upon the amount of original stock remaining unutilised. 2, record 1, English, - stock%20regeneration

Traditionally, theoretical literature on balance of payments crises stressed that weak economic fundamentals-such as excessively expansionary fiscal and monetary policies-resulted in a persistent loss of international reserves, ultimately forcing the authorities to abandon the fixed exchange rate parity. More recently, however, some economists have argued that the authorities may decide to abandon the parity for reasons other than a depletion of official international reserves. 2, record 8, English, - official%20international%20reserve

Tradicionalmente, en la literatura teórica sobre las crisis de balanza de pagos se insistía en que cuando las variables fundamentales son poco sólidas - por ejemplo, una política fiscal y monetaria excesivamente expansionistas - se produce una pérdida persistente de reservas internacionales que obliga a las autoridades a abandonar tarde o temprano el régimen de paridad fija. Sin embargo, en estudios más recientes se sostiene que las autoridades pueden decidir abandonar esa paridad por otras razones, no sólo porque se agoten las reservas internacionales oficiales. 1, record 8, Spanish, - reserva%20internacional%20oficial
