TL;DR: In this article, the authors make a case for a closer integration of fish into the overall debate and future policy about food security and nutrition, making a case that fish is one of the most efficient converters of feed into high quality food and its carbon footprint is lower compared to other animal production systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the existing evidence of how and to what extent capture fisheries and aquaculture contribute to improving nutrition, food security, and economic growth in developing and emergent countries.

TL;DR: Although many fisheries stocks have declined precipitously throughout the world, fish farming--and especially shrimp and salmon farming--has boomed and increasingly large scale of these enterprises is now having unforeseen ecological consequences on ocean resources through habitat destruction, effluent discharge, exotic species introductions, and heightened fish catch for feed use.

TL;DR: The most comprehensive and interdisciplinary work on marine conservation and fisheries management ever compiled as mentioned in this paper is the first to bridge fisheries and marine conservation issues, which provides a global special perspective over time and treat problems in the high seas, community fisheries, industrial fishing, and the many interactions between use and non-use of the oceans.

TL;DR: It is concluded that serious institutional reforms will be needed to achieve a true paradigm shift in marine fisheries management in China and recommended new institutions for science-based fisheries management, secure fishing access, policy consistency across provinces, educational programs for fisheries managers, and increasing public access to scientific data.
