Analysis of reef fish production at the firm level in such as manner as

to decision makers charged with the responsibility of managing the

fishery.

 Finally, the model developed has provided a methodology for

analyzing the biological and economic factors which interact in an ocean

fishery with limited economic and biological information. However, the

effects of other commercial fisheries and those of the recreational

fishery have been ignored. It is hoped that the methodology developed

here will be extended to encompass the analysis of many different

fisheries simultaneously.
