  • Fish Commoditization

    Open AccessMimi E Lam, Tony J PitcherARTICLEBulletin of Science Technology &…2012

    The impacts of early fishing on aquatic ecosystems were minimal, as primitive technologies were used to harvest fish primarily for food. As fishing technology grew more sophisticated and human populations dispersed and expanded, local economies transitioned from subsistence to barter and trade. Expanded trade networks and mercantilization led to surplus catches becoming tradable commodities. Today, global export fish commodities, including fresh,…

  • Fishful Thinking

    Open AccessTony J Pitcher, Mimi E LamARTICLEConservation Ecology2010Cited by: 1

    Fisheries science and management have been shrouded in controversy and rhetoric for over 125 yrs. Human reliance on fish through history (and even prehistory) has impacted the sea and its resources. Global impacts are manifest today in threatened food security and vulnerable marine ecosystems. Growing consumer demand and subsidized industrial fisheries exacerbate ecosystem degradation, climate change, global inequities, and local poverty. Ten com…

  • Management Effectiveness of the World's Marine Fisheries

    Open AccessCamilo Mora, Ransom A Myers et al.ARTICLEPLOS Biology2009

    Ongoing declines in production of the world's fisheries may have serious ecological and socioeconomic consequences. As a result, a number of international efforts have sought to improve management and prevent overexploitation, while helping to maintain biodiversity and a sustainable food supply. Although these initiatives have received broad acceptance, the extent to which corrective measures have been implemented and are effective remains largel…

  • Estimating the Worldwide Extent of Illegal Fishing

    Open AccessDavid J Agnew, John Pearce et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2009

    Illegal and unreported fishing contributes to overexploitation of fish stocks and is a hindrance to the recovery of fish populations and ecosystems. This study is the first to undertake a world-wide analysis of illegal and unreported fishing. Reviewing the situation in 54 countries and on the high seas, we estimate that lower and upper estimates of the total value of current illegal and unreported fishing losses worldwide are between $10 bn and $…
