| Title: | Potential Effects of Differing Management Programs on the Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery |

| Abstract: | A model of the Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT)
fishery is developed and used to explore the likely biological and economic consequences of adopting various management programs for the fishery. Issues addressed include both regional and international aspects since SBT are exploited by Japanese and New Zealand fishermen as well as their Australian
counterparts. Simulation results from the model suggest that there exists an annual sustainable level of catch on the part of Australian and Japanese fishermen which would maintain fish stocks at a "safe" level but this level of catch, as well as its composition, is not unique so that there is room for negotiation between the major fishing nations on a mutually agreeable management program; that the effects of heavy fishing of younger fish early in their migratory path has disproportionate
consequences for all other users of the resource; and that there exists some scope for some form of socially acceptable tradeoff between biological and economic
objectives. |
