to simulate the fishery system and allow scientists, managers, and stakeholders to
test whether potential harvest strategies can achieve pre-agreed management targets.
Only in this way, the Blackspot Seabream fishery in the Strait of Gibraltar (as other
fisheries around de World) will move toward management based on the harvest
strategies to increase its long-term sustainability, stability, and profitability.
