Abstract:	From Introduction: "In this paper I shall investigate the concept of sustainability as it applies to fisheries. In fact, the concept of 'sustainable yield' is a time-honored one in fisheries science. Its application is, however, more complicated than simple, deterministic fishery models might lead one to believe. While useful pedagogical devices, such models have the potential to mislead if instead they are applied to contexts in which environmental fluctuations unrelated to fishing effort play a major role in determining fish stocks and fish catches."
