Résumé anglais A Bioeconomic Model for Valuation of the Social Cost of Discards in a Complex Fishery by Jean Boncoeur, Spyros Fifas and Bertrand Le Gallic Exploitation offish stocks is associated with externalities (affecting the fishermen) which are a source of inefficiency and dispute. Analysis of the gulf between individual and collective rationality, together with a consideration of how it may be bridged, is at the heart of economic theory relating to fishing. The practical scope of the bioeconomic models advanced by this theory is nonetheless limited by a number of factors. Failure to take into account the complexity of fisheries - nevertheless the cause of the "inter-industry" externalities which compound the intra-branch externalities generally characteristic of fishing - is one of them. This paper presents a bioeconomic model simulating one aspect of the operation of a complex fishery: the phenomenon of discards. The model, by describing this particular form of fishery interaction, can be used to calculate the social cost of engaging in an activity which produces negative externalities and to draw up an overall economic assessment of interaction. This assessment is immediately applicable in any discussion of fishery management.
