  • Title: The future for fisheries.
    Author: Pauly D, Alder J, Bennett E, Christensen V, Tyedmers P, Watson R.
    Journal: Science; 2003 Nov 21; 302(5649):1359-61. PubMed ID: 14631031.
    Abstract:
    Formal analyses of long-term global marine fisheries prospects have yet to be performed, because fisheries research focuses on local, species-specific management issues. Extrapolation of present trends implies expansion of bottom fisheries into deeper waters, serious impact on biodiversity, and declining global catches, the last possibly aggravated by fuel cost increases. Examination of four scenarios, covering various societal development choices, suggests that the negative trends now besetting fisheries can be turned around, and their supporting ecosystems rebuilt, at least partly.
