You might find this paper interesting- it's focused on adapting fisheries management to climate change, but some of the core principles of fisheries management are touched [1]. Check out some of the figures.
There are some paradoxical concepts in fisheries management, not least is that the Maximum Sustinable Yield often supports aligned interests between fisherman (who want to profit/eat) and fish populations (who want to persist). Overfishing is a tragedy of the commons; managing those fisheries properly can produce MORE fish in the ocean even if yields go up. Not always, but this stuff is not cut and dry and the dynamics of population growth and extraction in these animals have to be understood.
