From page 175...
... For example, ranges can grow rapidly in some applications, so that the results may lead to overly conservative fishery management advice. In addition, there is an apparent paradox because no exact values are specified, but the end points (bounds)
From page 176...
... Using fuzzy arithmetic software minimizes the possibility of computational mistakes in complex calculations. In summary, fuzzy arithmetic is possibly an even more effective method than interval analysis for accommodating subjective uncertainty in fishery assessments; its utility should be examined more carefully for future stock assessment applications.
From page 177...
... The ordinate measures possibility ranging from O to 1, and the abscissa shows abundance (in thousands) for the example illustrated in the text.
