| Summary: | This study argues for a focus of attention on bioeconomic objectives in the management of fisheries of the Northeast Atlantic. It indicates an approach towards identifying agreed dynamic and bioeconomic relationships of a fishery. Once such functions are defined, a near-optimal control is developed that allows for regulation of a fishery towards and about an optimum. It accommodates variation in recruitment and in estimates of stock size. A demanding example is presented based upon the North Sea haddock, which at present is much below any optimum level. |
