The Pacific sardine fishery is shared but independently managed by three nations: Canada, USA and Mexico. As a result, potential conflict scenarios may arise. A stochastic optimal control methodology is presented to analyze potential conflict scenarios by first considering a deterministic logistic stock growth function and adding a stochastic term,...
Complex games such as RTS games are naturally formalized
as Markov games. Given a Markov game, it is often possible
to hand-code or learn a set of policies that capture the
diversity of possible strategies. It is also often possible to
hand-code or learn an abstract simulator of the game...
Since January 2008, the fishing agreements between the European Union and ACP (African, Caribbean, Pacific) countries have changed to comply with WTO rules and improve the management of the fisheries. However, the poor countries depend perhaps too heavily on foreign aids to impose any management system to the distant water...
We have developed simple and fun “fishing games” which can be played easily and quickly with cheap supplies—and which demonstrate important economic characteristics of fisheries. Players “fish” by scooping beads from a common bowl into individual cups placed near the bowl. The beads are the fish stock; the scoops are...

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can be considered as one of powerful conservation tools of fishery resource management in the literature. However, due to continuing environmental awareness and mismanagement, the Philippine government has decentralized the power of legislation and management of its MPAs since the early 2000. This encouraged participation of...
