Global marine primary production constrains fisheries catches.
Primary production must constrain the amount of fish and invertebrates available to expanding fisheries; however the degree of limitation has only been demonstrated at regional scales to date. Here we show that phytoplanktonic primary production, estimated from an ocean-colour satellite (SeaWiFS), is related to global fisheries catches at the scale of Large Marine Ecosystems, while accounting f...
متن کاملCatch reconstructions reveal that global marine fisheries catches are higher than reported and declining
Fisheries data assembled by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) suggest that global marine fisheries catches increased to 86 million tonnes in 1996, then slightly declined. Here, using a decade-long multinational 'catch reconstruction' project covering the Exclusive Economic Zones of the world's maritime countries and the High Seas from 1950 to 2010, and accounting for all fisheries, we...
متن کاملReconstruction of Domestic Marine Fisheries Catches for Oman (1950-2015)
Domestic marine fisheries in Oman are increasingly viewed as the eventual economic alternative to the soon to be depleted oil reserves. This has galvanized the Omani government to invest in the management of its marine living resources. This study aims to provide a better estimation of Oman’s domestic marine fisheries catches that can be used to improve fisheries management in the country. Usin...
متن کاملReconstruction of Marine Fisheries Catches for Oman ( 1950 - 2010 )
Total marine fisheries catches by Oman were estimated from 1950 to 2010, including large-scale and smallscale commercial catches, subsistence, and recreational catches, as well as major discards. Reconstructed total catches increased from around 53,600 t∙year-1 in the 1950s to almost 200,000 t·year-1 in the 2000s. This estimated catch is 1.3 times the landings reported by the FAO on behalf of O...
متن کاملGlobal marine fisheries resources: status and prospects
This paper discusses the current status of the world’s fisheries and their prospects for the future, from the perspective of the economics discipline. We focus on governance institutions within which fisheries are conducted, discussing their evolution during the post WW II period with particular emphasis on the jurisdiction extension codified by the Law of the Sea Convention in 1982. We discuss...
