10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Room: Sidney Smith 1087
The world's fish stocks have been subject to tremendous overexploitation, and the problem of how to apportion fish stocks between nations has recently led to the "Turbot War" between Canada and the European Union. This session will examine how a variety of mathematical methods can help resolve these problems. The papers in this session will explore the application of game-theoretic models to the resolution of disputes over the apportioning of fish stocks, will model extinction by overharvesting, will apply Bayesian state space models, and will help to clarify the biological basis of variability in fish populations.
