Abstract
The relatively short life-span of pelagic species, coupled with substantial year-class size fluctuations, makes it unlikely that management on the basis of models hypothesising a steady-state situation will prove adequate. Harvesting in excess of very conservative levels of exploitation necessitates monitoring of the current biomass of the stock.
