Traditionally, applying mathematics to a problem of the real world mostly means, at first, modelling the problem mathematically, maybe with hard restrictions, idealisations, or simplications, then solving the mathematical problem, and finally drawing conclusion about the real problem based on the solutions of the mathematical problems. For the past three decades, a shift of paradigms has taken place-the opposite has come into fashion. The point is that the world has done well even in times when nothing about mathematical modelling was known. More specifically, there is an enormous number of highly sophisticated processes and mechanisms in our world which have always attracted the interests of researchers due to their admirable perfection. To imitate such principles mathematically and to use them for solving a broader class of problems has turned out to be extremely helpful in various disciplines. In this paper, we shall consider a simple problem associated with the fisheries bioeconomic model. To show the effectiveness of the new paradigm, we shall compare results with that obtained from using standard mathematical procedure.
