The IWC voted to extend the moratorium at least one more year. Iceland has subsequently withdrawn from the IWC, and Norway and Japan are also considering withdrawal. A bioeconomic model is constructed that might be used to manage the industry if commercial whaling is resumed. It is applied to the stock of minke whales in the Northeast Atlantic. The optimal st...
