  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Bioeconomic Modeling and Management of the Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery Author: Kennedy, John, Campbell, Harry The paper reviews the management and bioeconomic modeling of the Southern Bluefin Tuna stock. It describes two studies using simultaneous, non-cooperative, three player games to predict revenue and stock outcomes generated by a deterministic, discrete, age-structured model of the SBT population. Two versions of the model, corresponding to biological and harvesting conditions prevailing around 2000 and 2007 respectively are considered. Because of a significant downward revision of estimates of the productivity of the SBT stock between these two dates, the later model suggests that conservation and optimal utilization of the SBT stock will require a substantial cut in catch quotas as compared with the results of the earlier model.
