Global Fisheries- A Brief Review

     · 2008  ~  Daniel Pauly  ~  Journal of Biological Reasearch

     · Highlights the significant increase in global catches in fisheries  after World War 2

     · This peaked in the later 1980’s and then declined because of overfishing globally, leading to an

       overall depletion of fish stocks and ecosystem damage. 

     · Four main factors that mask the fisheries crisis: (1) overreporting  by China, (2) FAO combining

       declining fisheries catches with increasing aquaculture production, (3) increases seafood impots

       from developed countries, and (3) denial by governments and industry funded scientists.

Measurement of the contributions of science and technology to the marine fisheries industry in the coastal regions of China 

     · 2019  ~  Xianghong Lin, et al.  ~  Science Direct

     · Underscores the role of S&T in China's marine fisheries industry transformation, driven by policy

       initiatives such as the 13th Five-Year Plan for Fishery Science and Technology Development, which

       aims for S&T contributions to exceed 63% by 2020.

     · China is important here because one third of global fish consumption can be attributed to China. 

     · Authors examine how S&T contributes significantly to both the economic development and

       sustainable management of marine fisheries, they aim to enhance efficiency and conservation

       through technological advancements like selectronic telemetry and species monitoring technologies.
