Abstract
Simulation models frequently are used to provide information to
assist in decision-making in natural resource management. The
sheer volume of information to process can be overwhelming,
however, and there is a danger that some management objectives
are not adequately considered, because of the difficulties of
making decisions when there are multiple, conflicting objectives.
Formal decision-analysis methods have been used in conservation
biology to choose among simulation model results. This paper
suggests that they can also be used in South African fisheries
management, where simulation models are used extensively in
developing operational management procedures.
