Abstract
Optimal control theory, a useful tool for analysis of general mathematical models of fisheries and harvest strategies, provides a framework for management decisions, but is too general for direct application to many specific management problems. A review of applications of optimal control theory to fisheries management is presented. Advantages and shortcomings of optimal control theory in the context of fisheries management are discussed with examples. -from Author
