Summary
These papers represent a summary of the results obtained during the first half of the ten years research projects, BIOCOSMOS, undertaken by fisheries biologists and oceanographers in Japan. They explore the mechanisms governing population dynamics of marine resources, such as pelagic sardine, demersal flounder and reef-inhabiting abalone, and consider how to find the optimum models for their management.
