Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze open access exploitation of the Northeast Atlantic minke whale. In particular the question whether open access could lead to stock extinction is addressed. A bioeconomic model of the open access fishery is developed and estimated for data from Norwegian whaling. Numerical analysis shows that open access was not likely to have lead to stock extinction for the minke whale. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1995
