The 'human dimension' in fisheries management has historically been incorporated via a specific economic understanding of fisheries wedded to a single-species approach. Meeting the challenge of fisheries, however, will require a broadening of fisheries science towards an ecosystems-based approach. There is also the need for a parallel shift in social science understandings of fishing towards ...

Interdependence between pollution and fish resource harvest policies
This study presents a bio-economic model in which the dynamics of a fishery are affected by marine pollution both directly and indirectly. From the optimality analysis it can be seen that, as long as a contaminating sector exists near coastal areas, the policy on fish resource harvest will be more intense initially (when the environmental situation is better) and less intense in subsequent ...
