Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this book is a practical engineer with considerable experience in technical development for the fishing industry and he has advised international bodies on subjects as diverse as fisheries administration and the harvesting of krill. Because of his inquiring mind, this analysis of the relationship between engineering, economics, and fisheries management will be thought–provoking to all in the industry. From his wide experience he realizes that in fisheries management, many aspects are easily overlooked because of their familiarity and that there are economic and practical constraints on technical development which are not fully appreciated. Focussing on them should ensure that they are taken into account in future. Rather than provide answers to the industry′s differing problems, he outlines the historical background and gives specific examples from his world–wide experience, posing questions to stimulate constructive discussions.
