Abstract
Overexploitation has often led to the extinction of several species including fisheries. Poor understanding of the dynamics of the Fisheries Management Task is considered a leading cause for the mismanagement of this renewable resource (Moxnes in Syst Dyn Rev 20:139–162, 2004; Qudrat-Ullah in Simul Gaming 38(3):382–397, 2007).
A managed commons, though it may have other defects, is not automatically subject to the tragic fate of the unmanaged commons.

Notes
- 1.
The earlier version of FishBankILE was jointly developed by Qudrat-Ullah et al. [9] in their group project in Master of Philosophy program in System Dynamics at the Department of Information Science, University of Bergen, Norway.
- 2.
The detailed description of system dynamics approach is provided in Appendix B.
- 3.
In fact, more sophisticated system dynamics models (e.g., Fuzzy system dynamics modeling [10]) can be built to better capture these uncertainties.
- 4.
The earlier version of this Facilitator Guide was also jointly developed by Qudrat-Ullah et al. [9] in their group project in Master of Philosophy program in System Dynamics at the Department of Information Science, University of Bergen, Norway.
