Maximum sustainable yield
The concept of maximum sustainable yield (MSY) has been used in fisheries science and fisheries management for more than a century. Originally developed and popularized by Fedor Baranov early in the 1900s as the "theory of fishing," it is often credited with laying the foundation for the modern understanding of the population dynamics of fisheries.

Depensation. In population dynamics, depensation is the effect on a population (such as a fish stock [ 1]) whereby, due to certain causes, a decrease in the breeding population (mature individuals) leads to reduced production and survival of eggs or offspring. [ 2] The causes may include predation levels rising per offspring (given the same ...

Sustainable fishery
The Beverton–Holt model is a classic discrete-time population model which gives the expected number n t+1 (or density) of individuals in generation t + 1 as a function of the number of individuals in the previous generation, Here R0 is interpreted as the proliferation rate per generation and K = (R0 − 1) M is the carrying capacity of the ...
