Beverton-Holt Model: Application to a Resource-Limited Population
F
Mortality declines with fishing because:
1. Caught fish don’t die a natural death;
2. A fished population is a younger population, with a lower death rate;
3. Individuals in a fished population have access to more resources, so they are healthier and have a lower death rate.
Gross Production declines with fishing less rapidly than M declines because:
1. Individuals in a fished population have access to more resources, so they grow faster and have higher fecundity.

Percentage contribution of year classes of Norwegian spring spawn herring to the adult stock from 1954 through 1962. The very good year class of 1950 began first appearing in significant numbers in 1954 and dominated the adult stock throughout this period.

ECONOMICS
The Canadian Cod Example:
Fished to Commercial Extinction BeforeEstablishment of a Moratorium: No Recoveryof the Stock, No Recovery of the Fishery
During the 1980s cod catches remained steady but that was because larger, more powerful and sophisticated vessels were chasing the fewremaining fish.
During the 1980s cod catches remained steady but that was because larger, more powerful and sophisticated vessels were chasing the fewremaining fish.
Working harder and harder, to catch the few remaining cod.
"In normal years we'd get 200,000 pounds of cod, but that year it was more like 70,000 pounds. Then all of a sudden they just crashed."
Fisheries scientists concluded that quotas had to be more than halved in order to prevent this stock's collapse. Politicians were appalled; the proposed quotas would have caused economic chaos throughout Eastern Canada.
So the politicians compromised what could not be compromised. Quotas were cut by only 10 percent.
Fishermen tried as hard as they could, but could only catch 122,000 of the 190,000-ton cod quota for 1991.
The estimated combined weight of the adult cod population was a mere 1.1 percent of its historic levels of the early 1960s.
