Objective The complex nature of fishery systems and the interaction between management, exploitation, environment and biology means that it is not always possible to foresee the response to a given management action. It is proposed to use a computer simulation framework that will allow the performance of management strategies based on current and improved biological knowledge and management procedures to be evaluated. New strategies will be proposed that consider the 4 elements: Definition of management targets; Assessment of stock relative to targets; Recovery plans to move targets; Stable management regimes.ObjectivesDevelop a simulation framework to evaluate management strategies that are consistent with the precautionary approach whilst maintaining the viability of the fishing industry. Thereby provide advice to managers on the response of fish stocks to exploitation and management.
