Kreitzer,GP; Borisyuk,RM (1989): Catching Fish. (Applied
 Biomathematics)
  [ECOLOGY, SINGLE POPULATION, DOS]
 <This is a game of catching fish.  Each game consist of ten
seasons of fishing, and you can adjust the intensity of fishing at
the start of each season.  One set consist of five games, but you
can extend it to ten games.  You can view previous games within a
set by selecting the "View Game" function.  You also have the
option of saving any interesting game on a disk.  You can restore
them, as well as the relevant parameters, and continue the game
with these parameters.  For saving, loading and deleting, select
the "File" function.  However, you can only save this information
for one session- you lose all information if you quit the session. 
If you over- fished and caused the abundance to fall below the
critical value, the prompt "Poor fish!" is displayed and the score
will be negative (i.e. you doomed the population to die out).  A
simple easy game to understand but in my opinion it fits more
students that are in high school.  (REVIEW 1: RATING = 7)

 This program teaches the user the impact of fishing on the fish
population by making it a game the user can play.  The software was
really user friendly and commands were easily accessible.  The user
can simply move to the command s/he wants with the arrow keys and
indicate this command by hitting enter.  I liked the way that the
graph appeared as you were playing.  The only problem I had with
the game is that there is no way to save information from one use
to another.  In my opinion, this software could be used by anyone,
and could prove informative if someone wanted to learn the effects
of fishing on a fish population.  (REVIEW 2: RATING = 7)>
