Evaluating alternative policy options and management scenar-ios can provide useful information on their relative advantages anddisadvantages for authorities to make policy decisions. The com-parative analysis of the different scenarios indicated that mostfunctional groups would decrease without the execution of afishing moratorium (S1). The recovery of fishing stocks from over-exploitation will show a similar trend under the condition ofintermittent control of fishing efforts through a variety of fishingmoratorium policies (S0, S2, S3) as with reducing the fishing effortdirectly (S4). Furthermore, the prolonged moratorium (S2) seemedto be slightly more beneficial to fishing stock recovery than S0, dur-ing which the fishing operations were carried out following thepresent fishing moratorium policy. However, the result of banningall fishing operations during the moratorium season in the S3 sim-ulation was not as expected: the system output with S3 was almostthe same as with S0. Most importantly, reducing the fishing effortof all fishing gears by 50% (S4) led to the largest increase in both inthe fish stocks (28.0%) and total landings (43%).
