Abstract

This article presents an overview of the economics and management of a population. It reviews the biology of survival and reproduction and various feedback effects that exist between the population and the environment. This discussion leads to an assessment of the potential complexities characterizing population dynamics. The review evaluates the options available in population management, with a focus on the choice of decision rules used by managers and policy makers. The analysis investigates several important concepts in bioeconomics, including dynamics, viability, sustainability, efficiency, and resilience.
