Difficult part: It took me a fair amount of time to understand why N2 in figure 6.3 is an equilibrium point, though I think I realize why now (it should be because qEN is being subtracted from the other plot, and thus the result will be 0 at N2, indicating an equilibrium point). Other than that, I generally understood the reading, though "unit effort" struck me as an odd concept.
Reflective part: It's interesting that despite the depensation model seeming to account for damaged fish populations, Myers et al. found this generally not to be the case (assuming the validity of the study). Also, as I implied earlier, I'd be interested to see how exactly E translates into the real world.
