Abstract
The work is designed as the 1st stage of a research program leading to the establishment of a rational policy for the management of the commercially valuable seaweed, Gelidium robustum. A dynamic programming model of a Gelidium harvesting industry, including an initial population model of the resource, is developed and used to assess the potential contributions to economic efficiency of information which could be expected to result from alternative additional research projects.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
