Ocean

This is a prisoner's dilemma type game in which you are all commercial fishers.

You play against one opponent at a time.  On each round, you each decide independently whether to use you big net or your little net.  You score for each according to the payoff matrix.  Your goal is to maximize your score, not necessarily to beat ypur opponent.  In a real life situation, you would care more about the amount of fish you caught than whether you beat soeomne else. Your score for the game is your total for all rounds.
