TL;DR: Current trends in world fisheries are analyzed from a fisheries and conservation perspective, finding that 63% of assessed fish stocks worldwide still require rebuilding, and even lower exploitation rates are needed to reverse the collapse of vulnerable species.

TL;DR: Estimates of the status of fish stocks from all available scientific assessments are compiled, and it is shown that, on average, fish stocks are increasing where they are assessed, and where fisheries management is less intense, stock status and trends are worse.

TL;DR: Rindorf et al. as mentioned in this paper published an open access article accepted for publication in ICES Journal of Marine Science following peer review, which is an open-access article accepted by ICES Editors.

TL;DR: NewZealand implemented a comprehensive management system using individual transferable quotas in 1986 that has been instrumental in guiding the roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities of fisheries science, fisheries management, and the fishing industry ever since as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive evaluation of multiple, co-occurring management actions on the sustainability status of marine populations has been lacking, and the authors compiled detailed management histories for 288 assessed fisheries from around the world (accounting for 45% of those with formal stock assessments) and used hierarchical time-series analyses to estimate effects of different management interventions on trends in stock status.
