These cases studies included a cross section of fisheries (groundfish, small pelagics, and invertebrates) from OECD member countries: Canada, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and Japan. The analyses of these case studies consisted of an annual historical, current, and projected status of the fisheries of interest with respect to integrated targets for: biological, economic, social, and administrative criteria. The case models were developed using the spreadsheet program Excel with a menu-based interface for ease of use. The results provide users with the capabilities to evaluate the impacts of alternative policy strategies including changes in resource global annual catch limits, changes in allocations to gear sectors, and changes ...
