The multidimensional role of intrinsic quality in the management of natural resources : a bioeconomic analysis of the Pacific whiting fishery

Creator:: Larkin, Sherry L.
Abstract:: The relationship between intrinsic fish quality (fish condition before handling), production efficiency, product price, and the optimal management of commercial "wild" fisheries was explored in four companion papers. The optimal management plan-consisting of quotas and harvest schedules - would maximize the discounted net industry revenues (NPV) given a minimum biomass...
