Abstract
  • Maximum sustainable yield (MSY) has been recommended as a reference point for fisheries sustainability. However, like other reference points it is generally applied on a single-species basis. This has potentially significant biological implications in a complex multispecies fishery. MSY-based reference points also have economic implications for fisheries prosecuting the resource. To examine these issues, interactions between North Sea plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and sole (Solea solea) stocks and two fishing fleets (northern and southern) will be modelled, incorporating changes in stock distribution, productivity and resilience. Fleet- and species-specific implications of a range of management objectives, including MSY, for fishery sustainability and profitability will be examined.
