Myers solved the problem, Pauly said, by assembling a large base of stock data and developing a complex mathematical model to sort it out.

Ransom Myers solved "the major problem in fisheries science"
Daniel Pauly, who heads the Fisheries Center at the University of British Columbia, cited ... Myers' efforts to solve "the major problem in fisheries science," predicting in one season how many fish larvae will survive to young adulthood in the next. Scientists call this "the recruitment problem," difficult to solve because f
