Abstract

The maximum sustainable yield (MSY) concept is widely considered to be outdated and misleading. In response, fisheries scientists have developed models that often diverge radically from the first operational version of the concept. We show that the original MSY concept was deeply rooted in ecology and that going back to that version would be beneficial for fisheries, not least because the various substitutes have not served us well.

MSY 不需要墓志铭——但它被滥用了

摘要

最大可持续产量 (MSY) 概念被广泛认为已过时且具有误导性。作为回应，渔业科学家开发的模型往往与概念的第一个操作版本大相径庭。我们表明，最初的 MSY 概念深深植根于生态学，回到那个版本将有利于渔业，尤其是因为各种替代品对我们没有很好的服务。
