model is developed that provides an estimation of the factor by which expected
catches are reduced.
Clark, Colin W. (1990). Mathematical Bioeconomics, The Optimal
Management of Renewable Resources, Second Edition. John Wiley &
Sons, Inc., New York.
This book is concerned with the Economics of the sustainable use of
biological resources and with understanding why such resources have often been
used in a nonsustainable manner.

Carpentaria Prawn Fishery." J. Fish. Res. Board Can. 36:1304-
1312.
A bioeconomic model of the Gulf of Carpentaria prawn fishery that
employs 21 parameters to describe the performance of two classes of vessels
exploiting several stocks of prawns is developed. The model predicts the
number of vessels of each class entering the fishery under free access, and is
also used to estimate the economically optimal number of vessels of each type.
Clark, Colin W. and R. Lamberson (1982). "An Economic History and
Analysis of Pelagic Whaling." Marine Policy, April:103-120.
Following the introduction of sea going factory vessels by Norwegian
whalers in the 1926 season, the international whaling industry underwent a
large expansion that ultimately resulted in depletion of many valuable stocks
of whales. Attempts at conservation under the auspices of the International
Whaling Commission met with limited but growing success, until a new
management policy was adopted in 1975. By 1980 the killing of most species of
baleen whales had been prohibited. The authors review the economic history of
pelagic whaling during this period, and present a corresponding economic
analysis. A brief survey of mathematical models of the whaling industry is
given in the Appendix.
Clark, Colin W. and Marc Mangel (1979). "Aggregation and Fishery
Dynamics: A Theoretical Study of Schooling and the Purse Seine
Tuna Fisheries." Fishery Bulletin, 77(2):317-337.
This paper describes mathematical models of exploited fish stocks under
the assumption that a certain portion of the stock becomes available through a
dynamic aggregation process. The surface tuna fishery is used throughout as
an example. The effects of aggregation on yield-effort relationships, indices
of abundance, and fishery dynamics are discussed. The predictions of the
theory are notably different from those obtained from general production
fishery models, particularly in cases where the available substock has a
finite saturation level. Possible effects include fishery " catastrophes" and
lack of significant correlation between catch per unit effort statistics and
stock abundance. Various management implications of the models are also
discussed.
Clark, Colin W., Frank H. Clarke, and Gordon R. Munro (1979). "The
Optimal Exploitation of Renewable Resource Stocks: Problems of
irreversible Investment." Econometrica, 47(1):25-47.
This paper studies the effects of irreversibility of capital investment
upon optimal exploitation policies for renewable resource stocks. It is
demonstrated that although the long term optimal sustained yield is not
affected by the assumption of irreversibility (except in extreme cases), the
