Book Review of Northeast Fishery Stock Assessments

Download or read book Review of Northeast Fishery Stock Assessments written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-04-17 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of cod, flounder, and haddock fish stocks in the Northeast United States has caused widespread concern among managers and fishers in the United States and Canada. The diminishing stocks have forced managers to take strict regulatory measures. Numerous questions have been raised about the adequacy of stock assessment science used to evaluate the status of these stocks and the appropriateness of the management measures taken. Based on these concerns, Congress mandated that a scientific review of the methodology and data used to evaluate these stocks be conducted. In this volume, the committee concludes that although there are improvements to be made in data collection, modeling uncertainty, and communicating between fishers, managers, and scientists, the scientific methods used in the Northeast stock assessments are sound. Recommendations are made on how the stock assessment process can be improved.

Download or read book How Deep is the Ocean written by James E. Candow and published by Cape Breton University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of the North Atlantic cod fishery in 1992 was one of the world's worst ecological disasters, and in 1995 Spanish and Canadian trawlers faced off over the dwindling supply of turbot. Where there used to be plenty, there is now virtually nothing; fishing communities that once survived (or even prospered) now face ruin.The twenty essays in How Deep is the Ocean? take a detailed look at the evolution of the Canadian east coast fishery. The book begins with aboriginal fishers before European contact; then it follows the European fishery through the days of sail, when boats could scarcely make headway through the teeming cod, to the diesel age, when electronic aids can find almost no cod. How Deep is the Ocean? covers the sociology of early fishing communities, the impact and significance of the credit system, and the techniques and technologies of aboriginal, European, and Canadian fisheries. The essays on the twentieth century include old-time fishing patterns of living memory and the changed state of the North Atlantic's ecology.

Book Sustainable Fishery Systems

Download or read book Sustainable Fishery Systems written by Anthony Charles and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive attempt to adopt an 'integrated' interdisciplinary approach to the study of fisheries. Fisheries are discussed as holistic 'systems', with emphasis on their structure, operation and dynamics. The book's interdisciplinary approach is applied to an analysis of problems faced in pursuing 'sustainable fisheries', with emphasis on six dominant themes: sustainability, uncertainty, complexity, conflict, fishing rights and the nature of management. Within this discussion, several major directions in current fishery thinking are explored, notably the precautionary approach, the ecosystem approach, co-management, and robust management for resilient fisheries.

Book Regulation and Compliance in the Atlantic Fisheries

Download or read book Regulation and Compliance in the Atlantic Fisheries written by Stig S. Gezelius and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why and under what conditions are the state's regulationscomplied with, and when are they violated? Resource scarcity andstrict regulation of the Atlantic fisheries have generated a demandfor in-depth knowledge of this issue. This comparative study is basedon qualitative data from Norway and Newfoundland. It shows thatinformal social control is a major factor inhibiting violations offormal management regulations among fishermen, and it analyses therelevant moral norms and how they influence compliance. It addressesthe relationship between collective morality and self-interest, anddescribes combinations of normative and strategic action. Thecomparison of the cases ends with a general theory on the morality ofcompliance in economies based on harvesting of natural resources forhouseholds as well as the market. People concerned with management offisheries and other natural resources, and social scientists concernedwith the questions of compliance and legitimate law will most likelybe the primary audiences of the book.
