Antarctic blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) are the largest and formerly most abundant blue whale subspecies, but were hunted to near extinction last century. Estimated whaling mortality… Expand
Fleet dynamics and fishermen behavior: lessons for fisheries managers
- T. A. Branch, R. Hilborn, +8 authors M. Young
- 1 July 2006
We review fleet dynamics and fishermen behavior from an economic and sociological basis in developing fisheries, in mature fisheries near full exploitation, and in senescent fisheries that are… Expand
