• Scientific assessments are an inextricable part of the management of any natural resource. However, placing too much emphasis on their validity without taking other factors into account can result in poor policy. This is especially true in fisheries science; policy makers who have relied too heavily on even the most sophisticated estimates of fish populations have seen disastrous losses and fishery closures. Explorations into the complex concerns of the international fishing community lead to applications in fisheries science and beyond.
