About me

Introduction	A professor at Yokohama National University, Hiroyuki Matsuda's research encompasses studies of adaptive management and co-management of marine protected areas, risk analysis and game theory. He is the author of Japanese textbooks on ecology, one of which focuses on the science and ecosystem management of fisheries. His theoretical work on fisheries management has resulted in new ideas, including the “cyclic advantage model,” of sardine-anchovy-chub mackerel, in which Matsuda proposed a hypothesis for small pelagic fish stock fluctuations, and “target switching,” a novel multi-species management strategy.
