Abstract: Abstract A logistic model relating fishing effort and catch is proposed. The coefficients of 430 effort-catch equations have been calculated by means of a non-linear regression analysis over 15 years data with a mean error of about 26%. Suitable objective function composed by economic, biological and inertia terms has been defined and the optimal allocation of fishing resources over different littorals and fishing systems has been attained by solving a non-linear constrained minimization problem. For optimal cases a significant reduction in fishing effort is proposed. Profits increase in comparison with the present case and the biological constraints are respected.
