High seas fisheries -- 9. Deepwater fisheries -- 10. Recreational fisheries -- 11. Small-scale and artisanal fisheries -- 12. Illegal fishing -- 13. Trawling impacts on ecosystems -- 14. Marine protected areas -- 15. Ecosystems impacts of fishing -- 16. The status of overfishing.
"Over the past twenty years considerable public attention has been focused on the decline of marine fisheries, the sustainability of world fish production, and the impacts of fishing on marine ecosystems. Many have voiced their concerns about marine conservation, as well as the sustainable and ethical consumption of fish. But are fisheries in danger of collapse? Will we soon need to find ways to replace this food system? Should we be worried that we could be fishing certain species to extinction? Can commercial fishing be carried out in a sustainable way? While overblown prognoses concerning the dire state of fisheries are plentiful, clear scientific explanations of the basic issues surrounding overfishing are less so - and there remains great confusion about the actual amount of overfishing and its ecological impact"--Provided by publisher.
