Abstract
The typical system of present-day fishery management is generally thought of as consisting of several stages. First, data are collected from fish markets and research vessels; second, these are analyzed at biological research institutions where the effects of alternative management measures are predicted; third, on the basis of these predictions, and in the light of social and economic objectives, one particular management measure is chosen; and finally, appropriate legal measures are introduced and duly enforced.
John A. Gulland’s early training was as a mathematician. He worked for a number of years at the Fisheries Laboratory, Lowestoft, England, where he specialized on the population dynamics of demersal fish. He has been concerned with providing scientific advice to various international commissions, such as the Northeast Atlantic Fisheries Commission, the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, and the International Whaling Commission. Since 1966 he has been with the Department of Fisheries, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, concerned with fisheries management and planning of fisheries development programs throughout the world.
