Tiivistelmä: | Herein, developed is a generic age-structured model to provide analytical results on optimal (henceforth as: opt.) harvesting (here as: hrst). Given two age classes, knife-edge selectivity, and no stock-dependent hrst. cost, the steady state is a unique saddle point. Given that the utility is linear, adding hrst. cost does not change the uniqueness. Opt. hrst. is proved to be a stationary cycle representing pulse fishing. Opt. steady states are different in case the age-structured information is ignored and optimization is based on traditional biomass variables which implies the existence of opt. sustainable hrst. depending on age-structured information. Given a specific set of conditions, opt. hrst. converges toward a unique saddle point undepending on the number of age classes. |
