This report is not to be quoted without prior consultation with the General Secretary.Abstract
Linear programming is used to demonstrate a way to maximise the
total catch in a mixed fishery. Constraints are set by quotas, as

unevenly distributed between areas and through the season. A
practical application of this technique in fisheries management
depends on a satisfactory prediction of the ratio of the quotaregulated
species in the total catch before the season starts.

without exceeding the quotas of cod, haddock and whiting~
