Review Quotes:
"I have seen the value, over the years, of bringing management science and fisheries together, and this book meets the challenge of making that connection in a comprehensive manner. The book will undoubtedly help many more fishery people to become familiar with the ideas, methods and results of management science." - from the Foreword, by Anthony Charles, Director, School of the Environment, and Professor, School of Business, Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Canada
"This book is a fantastic set of case studies and overview chapters on how fisheries are actually managed, and the tools that are used. It provides both introductory and in depth chapters on the application of quantitative methods to the management of fisheries. The case studies by a stellar cast of scientists provide in-depth analysis of some of the most interesting, and difficult fisheries management problems. Both novice and experienced fisheries scientists will find a great deal of valuable information in this book." - Ray Hilborn, Professor, School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, USA
