A Review of Bioeconomic Modelling of Habitat-Fisheries Interactions

Table 2

Effects of habitat loss on biophysical models, price, and catchability.

		Stock	Effort	Harvest
Biophysical models; (Cases  1–4)	OA	0	−	−
	MEY	−*	−	−
Catchability (Case  5); (𝑋∞<𝑋MSY)	OA	+	+	+
	MEY	+	+	−
Catchability (Case  5); (𝑋∞>𝑋MSY)	OA	+	−	−
	MEY	+	−	−
Price (Case  6)	OA	+	−	−
	MEY	+	−	−

*An exception to this is Case  2 in which growth is a function of habitat, r(H), where the steady-state MEY stock is independent of habitat.
