MSY and MEY

Maximum sustainable yield is

• The minimum amount of catch that you can take from a fishery

• the maximum level at which a natural resource can be routinely exploited without long-term depletion.

• the amount of fish that can be caught in the shortest amount of time

• The point fisheries management use to determine quotas

Maximum sustainable Yield can be effected by spatial and temporal factors

• True

• False

Maximum sustainable yield Is only as good as the information given

• True

• True

• False

Maximum economic yield (MEY) is the level of catch that provides the maximum net economic benefits or profits to society

• Tells fishermen how much money they can spend on fishing gear

• Is based on biological features of the fishery

• is the level of catch that provides the maximum economic profits to society

Carrying capacity

• How many people you can fit in the back of a ute.

• Half the optimal growth of a population

• the amount of books that can be carried at one time

• at Maximum economic ability

• when they run out of bait

• when costs outweigh revenue

• When the population begins to decline

In open access fishing (no regulations) Fishermen will

• Use up all of the economic rent

• Fish up to the economic sustainable yield

• Leave a fishing ground when their boats are only half full

Fishing effort is

• how much effort fish use to swim

• The total amount of fish caught by a particular boat

• The amount of effort that is put into a catch

• Fishing divided by Maximum sustainable yield

B0 is .....

• Total revenue

• Maximum quota available

• Fishery collapse

• How many fish available to catch
