living marine resources; (3) understand
and predict the ecological, and behavior
of participants in Federally managed
commercial fisheries; (4) predict the
biological, ecological, and economic
impacts of existing management
measures and alternative proposed
management actions; and (5) in general,
more effectively conduct the analyses
