Abstract

Fishermen all over the world will agree that fishing is a game of chance played with three dice: good weather, good catch and good markets. If all three are tossed in your favour, then your earnings will be good. Inmost cases, however, at least one of the dice will be loaded against you: despite good weather and a good catch, unfavourable market prices can reduce your earnings. Likewise, despite good weather and a favourable market place, your earnings may be reduced if you fail to make a good catch.
