Book Description
Excerpt from Fish Bulletin, Vol. 2: The Scientific Investigation of Marine Fisheries, as Related to the Work of the Fish and Game Commission in Southern California In June, 1917, the California Fish and Game Commission inaugurated scientific investigations of commercially important fishes of southern California. The writer, who is at present in charge of the investigations, has been asked many questions regarding the purpose of the work, and he has come to realize the necessity of an outline to which the various lines of research may be referred and thus understood. However, it is difficult to tell into what fields the pursuit of truth will lead in the case of each investigation, and it will be found that in this paper resort has been had to the statement of aims in terms which are perhaps applicable to fisheries research in general, rather than to that of the albacore in particular, the fish now being studied. The formulation is frankly tentative, due to the chaotic state of the branch of fisheries research concerned, and it is hoped that further experience will correct errors and enable clearer conceptions to arise. There is a fundamental need for the knowledge we are seeking, information regarding the life histories of, and the fisheries for, certain species. The comparatively recent and enormous development of our fisheries, the prospect of a far more extensive utilization of their products, and the perfection of the machinery of exploitation, has brought sharply to focus the question of the capacity of the species of fish to withstand the strain. Instances of overfishing are already well known, both on our own coast and in the Atlantic, and the stability of the supply is a real question everywhere. Those men intimately concerned with the fisheries, having as a rule decided opinions regarding the species in which they are particularly interested, frequently ask why the world should not accept at once and act upon their belief that the fish are becoming less in number, or their contradiction of such an assertion. However, proof that seeks to modify the ways of commerce or of sport must be overwhelming - and unfortunately the statements of those who know the truth are too readily contradicted by the assured arguments of those who regard the resources of the sea as inexhaustible, or of those who see in everything evidence of depletion. The same is true of opinions concerning the habits of fish, and of the measures which must be taken for conservation or for the aid of the fisheries. Not only do research and careful study along scientific lines produce the required weight of evidence, but they are far more likely to bring to light important considerations than even the combined powers of observation of the fishermen and dealers.

Global Atlas of Marine Fisheries
Author: Daniel PaulyPublisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1610917693
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 519
Book Description
The Global Atlas of Marine Fisheries is the first and only book to provide accurate, country-by-country fishery catch data. This groundbreaking information has been gathered from independent sources by the world's foremost fisheries experts. Edited by Daniel Pauly and Dirk Zeller of the Sea Around Us Project, the Atlas includes one-page reports on 273 countries and their territories, plus fourteen topical global chapters. Each national report describes the current state of the country's fishery; the policies, politics, and social factors affecting it; and potential solutions. The global chapters address cross-cutting issues, from the economics of fisheries to the impacts of mariculture. Extensive maps and graphics offer attractive and accessible visual representations.
MARINE ARTIFICIAL REEF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Author: Sustaining Marine Fisheries
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309055261
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
Fluctuations and declines in marine fish populations have caused growing concern among marine scientists, fisheries managers, commercial and recreational fishers, and the public. Sustaining Marine Fisheries explores the nature of marine ecosystems and the complex interacting factors that shape their productivity. The book documents the condition of marine fisheries today, highlighting species and geographic areas that are under particular stress. Challenges to achieving sustainability are discussed, and shortcomings of existing fisheries management and regulation are examined. The volume calls for fisheries management to adopt a broader ecosystem perspective that encompasses all relevant environmental and human influences. Sustaining Marine Fisheries offers new approaches to building workable fisheries management institutions, improving scientific data, and developing management tools. The book recommends ways to change current practices that encourage overexploitation of fish resources. It will be of special interest to marine policymakers and ecologists, fisheries regulators and managers, fisheries scientists and marine ecologists, fishers, and concerned individuals.

Recommendations for a Five-year Scientific Investigation on the Marine Resources and Environment of the Main Hawaiian Islands

Pages : 147
Book Description
In recent years there has been growing interest in having fisheries stakeholders involved in various aspects of fisheries data collection and experimentation. This activity is generally known as cooperative research and may take many forms, including gear technology studies, bycatch avoidance studies, and surveys. While the process is not new, the current interest in cooperative research and the growing frequency of direct budgetary allocation for cooperative research prompted this report. Cooperative Research in the National Marine Fisheries Service addresses issues essential for the effective design and implementation of cooperative and collaborative research programs.
