Abstract

Fisheries exploitation systems are characterized by reciprocal interactions between fisheries activity and the harvested resource. Variability and changes affecting ‘natural’ and ‘socio-economic’ environments generate non stationarity of the variables used to describe the fishing activity, the resource and the yields. This characteristic needs to be taken into account in describing the evolution of the relationships between those variables, and in describing fisheries adaptability and sustainability. We present a dynamical system model with an application to data from surveys on activity and results of the Senegalese artisanal fishery from 1974 to 1992. A fitting procedure is proposed, giving estimates of the parameters of the model. A simulation is then made with the fitted model in order to apraise possible impacts of various events of different kind.
