The aim of the project has been twofold: 1) to quantify the stochastic process producing this uncertainty for certain important fish stocks and 2) to further develop a method for determining optimal harvest quotas within the framework of a multi-species model, and, by this, implement the model in practice for the purpose of performing a comparative study of the fisheries in three Nordic countries: Denmark, Iceland and Norway. The harvesting (total allowable catch) policies for the cod and cap-elin/herring fisheries in these countries are compared. Indicators for stock overexploitation and harvest overexploitation are developed.
