متن کاملFishing down the deep
A global crisis in marine fisheries was regarded with scepticism by many fisheries scientists as recently as 10 years ago. Today, however, few dispute worrying trends [Pitcher and Pauly 1998; Pitcher 2001; Pauly et al. 2002; Christensen et al. 2003; Hilborn et al. 2003; Pauly and Maclean 2003; Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 2004]. Historical data from marine ecosystems clearly suggest ...
متن کاملFishing down marine food webs

This reflects a gradual transition in landings from long-lived, high trophic level, piscivorous bottom fish toward short-lived, low trophic level invertebrates and planktivorous pelagic fish. This effect, also found to be occurring in inland fisheri...
متن کاملFishing down the Mediterranean Food
These impacts of fisheries have led, in the late 1990s, to a growing interest in "ecosystembased management" (see e.g. NRC, 1999). Moreover, though the full implications of such form of management continue to remain elusive, there is a growing understanding that ecosystembased management must consider and maintain the structuring role of large predators in marine food webs. The demonstration by...
متن کاملFishing down and fishing hard: ecological change in the Nile perch of Lake Nabugabo, Uganda
Fishing is a potent ecological force. In Lake Victoria, East Africa, Nile perch, Lates niloticus contributes to a multi-million dollar fishing industry but is threatened by over-exploitation. We quantified spatial and temporal trends in the distribution, diet and size of Nile perch in Lake Nabugabo, Uganda, a satellite of Lake Victoria. From 1995 to 2007, we detected a decline in catch per unit...
