Operational research and fisheries management

Abstract This paper presents a review of operational research in the management of fisheries. A brief history of fisheries management is presented. The fundamental problems in the control and management of fisheries systems are discussed along with the contribution of operational research to problem modelling and analysis. Current and future challenges for the role of operational research in the management of fisheries conclude the paper.
