There is an opportunity to revisit Australian fisheries economics that has been reliant on the imported belief that only the amount of fish caught in the past by commercial fishing (and less so by recreational fishing) determines the amount fish available to catch at any time.

If this is what is being done of course it will be unreliable as populations will fluctuate due to natural factors such as disease, weather and competition of other species. The biggest problem I imagine is to determine at any point in time what the population of a given species is likely to be.

I think it’s now intended as a 3 part series of posts.
