A stochastic bioeconomic model is developed for the Lake Michigan alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) fishery. This theoretical model possesses an intermediate degree of complexity and realism. Other Lake Michigan fish stocks are included in a simplified way as an aggregate, to account for interspecific predation by salmonids, but competition could be treated as well. Both alewife and aggregate fisheries are modeled by modifications of Beverton–Holt single-cohort models with growth in weight and interspecific interactions. The alewives are also subjected to large random disasters and it is demonstrated that these are density independent. The methodology is stochastic, feedback, optimal control using dynamic programming. Stochastic terms are used to represent random disasters in the alewife population. The computational results are given in terms of the maximal, expected economic values of the combined fishery and the optimal rates of harvest for both the alewives and aggregate fisheries. These results are new ...
