Bioeconomics is intimately connected to the early development of theories in fisheries economics, which were initially developed in the middle of the 1950s by Canadian economists Scott Gordon and Anthony Scott (1955). Their ideas made use of recent developments in biological fisheries modeling, primarily the works that Schaefer had done in 1954 and 1957 on establishing a formal relationship between fishing activities and biological growth through mathematical modeling that was confirmed by empirical studies. Additionally, their ideas relate to ecology, the environment, and the protection of resources.
