decisions simultaneously at each stage, in this model each player makes his
decision separately in time, knowing the action of the previous player. The
model is applied to the southern bluefin tuna fishery that is jointly
exploited by Australia and Japan. The results of noncooperative and
cooperative strategies are compared.

for the Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery." Marine Resource
Economics, 2(4):293-313.
It is now officially recognized by the governments of Australia and
Japan that the southern bluefin tuna fishery has been overexploited and that
harvest must be controlled. A dynamic programming model applicable to
multicohort fisheries is developed for finding approximately optimal timedependent
quotas. Results from applying the model to the southern bluefin
tuna fishery indicate that restricting or eliminating the Australian catch of
under 4 year olds would benefit both countries.

The decision of the federal district court on the suit filed by the
Center for Marine Conservation seeking to require the NMFS to perform its
duties as required under the Endangered Species Act to prevent sea turtle
strandings on the coast of the southeast region of the United States. The
court rejected their claims and found in favor of the NMFS.
Kesteven, G.L. (1997). MSY Revisited. Marine Policy, 21(1):73-82.
Many values can be set for MSY or TAC of a fishery resource, among them
the greatest occurs only rarely. With poor comprehension of the statistical
character of MSY, few attempts to manage fisheries with reference to it have
been successful. That outcome has resulted partly from inadequacies of the
general paradigm of stock assessment, but more from failure to appreciate the
significance of the economic and social terms of the exploitation equation. A
plea is made for a system of fishery resources law which, of local, national,
and international effect, would restrain the economic drives and social
impulses that so far have frustrated the efforts of fishery administrators,
denied industrial stability, and threatened resource survival.

Needs of the Tortugas Shrimp Model (FISYS Version T)." Stanford
University, Department of Engineering-Economic Systems, Stanford,
California, November, 8 pp.
In this report a qualitative evaluation of the data availability and
needs of the Tortugas Model is considered. The model is a quantitative tool
for estimating and evaluating the effects of alternative management policy
options prior to actual policy implementation. The combination of a
quantitative methodology and a policy orientation provide a natural framework
to evaluate present data availability. Furthermore, the model indicates areas
of data paucity together with a list for future data gathering activities.
