Yield-per-recruit for N. marginatus are presented. Catch per hour of N. marginatus is very low, even in the area of highest density ( approximately equals 3.5 kg/h at 45 m depth). Single-species exploitation of a stock of the type represented by N. marginatus appears unfeasible and the conclusion is reached that the traditional single-species approach in fish population dynamics--such as exemplified in this paper--does not help in formulating rational exploitation schemes.application/pdfJournal Articlehttps://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8649.1980.tb02760.x
