Harvest policies use control rules and associated policy parameters to dictate how fishing
mortality or catch and yield levels are determined, and are necessary for rational …

Monte Carlo simulations and equilibrium analyses are used to explore the behavior of
threshold management strategies. The analyses explore the medium-to long-term …

This study reports on a diversity of cases of rights-based benthic and finfish fisheries from
Latin America. For benthic fisheries, Part I of this technical paper documents …

Threshold-based harvesting strategies tend to give high yields while protecting the exploited
population. A significant drawback, however, is the possibility of harvesting moratoria with …

Tuna regional fisheries management organizations (tRFMO) have made strong
commitments to developing and implementing management procedures as a more effective …

The stock of Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in the Indian Ocean supports an important
international fishery and is considered to be fully exploited. The responsible management …

This study investigated the performance of the three estimators of surplus production model
including process-observation-error-estimator with normal distribution (POE_N), observation …

Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) support a large commercial fishery in the Indian Ocean.
However, explicit management strategies and harvest control rules are yet to be developed …

Development of new methods to account for spatial structure when conducting fisheries
assessments. The results of this research have been used to improve population …

This dissertation develops new modeling tools to provide new scientific perspectives on
migratory transboundary fish populations. I particularly focus on two main issues:(1) the …
