A fishery is an area with an associated fish or aquatic population which is harvested for its commercial or recreational value. Fisheries can be wild or farmed. Population dynamics describes the ways in which a given population grows and shrinks over time, as controlled by birth, death, and migration. It is the basis for understanding changing fishery patterns and issues such as habitat destruction, predation and optimal harvesting rates. The population dynamics of fisheries is used by fisheries scientists to determine sustainable yields. The basic accounting relation for population dynamics is the BIDE (Birth, Immigration, Death, Emigration) model, shown as: N1 = N0 + B − D + I − E where N1 is the number of individuals at time 1, N0 is the number of individuals at time 0, B is the number of individuals born, D the number that died, I the number that immigrated, and E the number that emigrated between time 0 and time 1. While immigration and emigration can be present in wild fisheries, they are usually not measured. A fishery population is affected by three dynamic rate functions: Birth rate or recruitment. Recruitment means reaching a certain size or reproductive stage. With fisheries, recruitment usually refers to the age a fish can be caught and counted in nets. Growth rate. This measures the growth of individuals in size and length. This is important in fisheries where the population is often measured in terms of biomass. Mortality. This includes harvest mortality and natural mortality. Natural mortality includes non-human predation, disease and old age. If these rates are measured over different time intervals, the harvestable surplus of a fishery can be determined. The harvestable surplus is the number of individuals that can be harvested from the population without affecting long term stability (average population size). The harvest within the harvestable surplus is called compensatory mortality, where the harvest deaths are substituting for the deaths that would otherwise occur naturally.

Population model

A population model is a type of mathematical model that is applied to the study of population dynamics. Models allow a better understanding of how complex interactions and processes work. Modeling of dynamic interactions in nature can provide a manageable way of understanding how numbers change over time or in relation to each other. Many patterns can be noticed by using population modeling as a tool. Ecological population modeling is concerned with the changes in parameters such as population size and age distribution within a population.

Surexploitation

La surexploitation, en sciences de l'environnement et dans l'économie du développement durable, est le stade où un prélèvement de ressources naturelles, difficilement ou coûteusement renouvelables, dépasse le stade du renouvellement. La surexploitation du « capital nature » induit une altération des écosystèmes, parfois irréversible aux échelles humaines de temps, avec d'éventuels impacts collatéraux à échelle planétaire (sur le climat en particulier).
