Optimizing for multiple species and multiple values: tradeoffs inherent in ecosystem-based fisheries management J. B. Kellner, J. N. Sanchirico, A.Hastings & P.J. Mumby (2010) Here is the link http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1755-263X.2010.00132.x/pdf Abstract: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1755-263X.2010.00132.x/abstract They use 5 model scenarios including optimal single species, optimal two-species and optimal multiple species management scenarios.

I know there's debate over whether the Bering Sea fisheries could become that way. The comprehensive research done there feeds into their regional fishery council's decisions, but I don't think it's truly an ecosystem-based approach in terms of analyzing how many of say Pollock are needed not just to feed people but also to feed the fur seals, the seabirds, etc to prevent ecosystem collapse. But my question is not about the Bering Sea but about whether there is ANY fishery that is actually managed in an ecosystem approach or whether it's still theoretical at this stage?
