Spatial fishery models are discussed with an emphasis on optimal management strategies. The models incorporate nonlinear, parabolic partial differential equations with density-dependence in the growth rate of the fish stock on a spatial domain. The role of feature heterogeneities such as habitat properties, spatial boundaries, and destructive fishing practices will be discussed. We also introduce multiple harvesters in the context of traditional federalism questions. The objective is to find the dynamic distribution of harvest effort that maximizes the discounted net present value of stock while minimizing costs. Optimal management strategies are found numerically.
