Aim
This course aims to provide the student with a good theoretical
background in bioeconomic principles which could be used in practical
management tasks. The course aims also to integrate biological
knowledge on population dynamics with economic reasoning.
Course description
The interplay between vessels/fishermen and fish stocks is studied for
the case of an open access fishery and for different management
regimes. Bioeconomic theory is used in the analysis of selected
fisheries, both nationally controlled and those in which two or more
countries are involved. Practical issues related to the use of
available data for establishing bioeconomic reference points are
addressed.
