He is co-chairman of the Channel Fisheries Study Group through which English, French and Channel Isles scientists are investigating the nature and activities of fishing fleets, and the fish and shellfish resource populations they exploit, in the English Channel. The contributions of members of the Study Group to this Laboratory Leaflet are detailed in the Acknowledgements. Acknowledgments This Technical Report is based on a report to the European Commission prepared by staff of the MAFF Directorate of Fisheries Research at Lowestoft and the Institut Francais de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER) Centres at Boulogne, Port-en-Bessin and Brest.

متن کاملOverfishing and the Replacement of Demersal Finfish by Shellfish: An Example from the English Channel
The worldwide depletion of major fish stocks through intensive industrial fishing is thought to have profoundly altered the trophic structure of marine ecosystems. Here we assess changes in the trophic structure of the English Channel marine ecosystem using a 90-year time-series (1920-2010) of commercial fishery landings. Our analysis was based on estimates of the mean trophic level (mTL) of an...
