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 کاملLinking Social and Ecological Systems to Sustain Coral Reef Fisheries
The ecosystem goods and services provided by coral reefs are critical to the social and economic welfare of hundreds of millions of people, overwhelmingly in developing countries [1]. Widespread reef degradation is severely eroding these goods and services, but the socioeconomic factors shaping the ways that societies use coral reefs are poorly understood [2]. We examine relationships between h...
متن کاملApplying Integrated Natural Resources Management to Sustain Coastal Fisheries
Vietnam’s coastal waters feature high bio-diversity and rich fishery resources. The selected study site, Nha Phu Lagoon is characterized by massive degradation of coastal fishery resources. As a result rural livelihoods in coastal communities are threatened. Since households in these communities not only depend on coastal resources but also have various other forms of income outside the fishery...
متن کاملMarine Reserve Targets to Sustain and Rebuild Unregulated Fisheries
Overfishing threatens the sustainability of coastal marine biodiversity, especially in tropical developing countries. To counter this problem, about 200 governments worldwide have committed to protecting 10%-20% of national coastal marine areas. However, associated impacts on fisheries productivity are unclear and could weaken the food security of hundreds of millions of people who depend on di...
متن کاملGlobal primary production
revolution the distinction between energy and information was less clear, and the term brightness was used to refer to both lightness and brightness, without distinction. Sometimes the term brightness is used for the perceived brightness of the illumination level. But perceived illumination and perceived luminance are separate, and by consensus, the term brightness is now used to refer only to ...
