Behavioural economics in fisheries: A systematic review protocol.

<h4>Background</h4>The field of behavioural economics holds several opportunities for integrated fisheries management and conservation and can help researchers and managers alike understand fisher behaviour and decision-making. As the study of the cognitive biases that influence decision...
