ABSTRACT
Biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of the biological potential of the World Ocean assume the need for a balanced industrial exploitation of mass commercial species and their predators in common biocenosis. At the same time insufficient current studying and considerable delay in changing of a structure in response of current fishery impacts make difficulties in a practical solution of issues on enhancement of balanced species exploitation in particular biocenosis. The solution of the issue on maintenance of balanced use of various components of exploited biocenosis under the lack of needed information on current and possible (resulted from fishery) structure of biocenosis can be provided by simulation-based models. The report presents algorithmic simulation model that helps to solve such problems by the example of a fisheries management of five flounders species, cod and sculpins near the Western coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
