Goal To analyze the possibility for recreational fishing to induce genetic changes in exploited fish populations, and thereby to increase awareness of such potential among stakeholders and stimulate increased research effort and long-term monitoring of fish populations exploited by angling fisheries. As a result of selective (i.e. non-random) mortality, exploitation of wild living resources can...

The current economic paradigm, which is based on increasing human population, economic development, and standard of living, is no longer compatible with the biophysical limits of the finite Earth. Failure to recover from the economic crash of 2008 is not due just to inadequate fiscal and monetary policies. The continuing global crisis is also due to scarcity of critical resources. Our macroecol...

Through its Food Security Project, the Directorate of Agricultural Economics of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries maintains two publication series for results of research on food security issues. Publications under the Flash series are short (3-4 pages), carefully focused reports designed to provide timely research results on issues of great interest. Publications under the Research Pap...

Despite their importance for human well-being, nearshore fisheries are often data poor, undervalued, and underappreciated in policy and development programs. We assess the value chain for nearshore Hawaiian coral reef fisheries, mapping post-catch distribution and disposition, and quantifying associated monetary, food security, and cultural values. We estimate that the total annual value of the...

This contribution reviews the development of Chinese marine fisheries and fleet structure since the founding of the People’s Republic of China (‘China,’ excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) in 1949, up to the present, with emphasis on the type and quality of underlying statistical information, especially on landings. Our main purpose is to provide a basis for evaluating the credibility of re...
