For nearly six decades, fishery managers and policy makers have used bio-economicmodels and methods as the foundation for their management schemes. These models andmethods are for the most part based on the deductive methodology of economics where centralassumptions are the metaphors of "equilibrium" and "bio-economic equilibrium". Models basedon equilibrium theories are usually deterministic and static whereas the dynamics of theoperations and the markets are a meager part of the problem. Less attention has been offeredto inductive reasoning and modeling within the field of fishery management. The inductivemethod of reasoning is often based on facts and actual observations within the industries,a methodology widely used by engineers and the field of business administration. In thispaper, we introduce and integrate the concept of substitutability of economic resources intoa traditional bio-economic model. The results show that fishery management, which basesdecisions solely on traditional bio-economic models where the dynamics and consequences ofthe operational decision processes of the industry are ignored, may reach decisions that workin opposition to their intended one.(original abstract)
