Wed 12/12 Assessing the Impact of the 1998 ICCAT and NRC Initiatives to Reform the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fishery using a Slope FIeld
  • To realize that a function can be defined by its rate of change and one "initial value" of the function
  • To use data collected from the Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery to create an equation for the net rate of change of the Atlantic bluefin tuna population
  • To use the equation for the net rate of change to draw a slope field
  • To use an initial value and the slope field to draw a graph showing the size of the Atlantic bluefin tuna population versus time
  • To use the information calculated to assess the 1998 ICCAT and NRC reforms of the bluefin tuna fishing industry
