Journal ArticleDOI
Food security implications of global marine catch losses due to overfishing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the potential catch losses due to unsustainable fishing in all countries' exclusive economic zones (EEZs) and on the high seas over 1950-2004.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconciling fisheries catch and ocean productivity.

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that ecosystem-level variations in pelagic and benthic energy flows from phytoplankton to fish, trophic transfer efficiencies, and fishing effort can quantitatively reconcile this contrast in an energetically consistent manner shows that it can be reconciled.
Journal ArticleDOI
China's distant-water fisheries in the 21st century

Rashid Sumaila,Wilf Swartz,Reg Watson,Yunlei Zhai,Dirk Zeller +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the distant-water fleet catch of the People's Republic of China for 2000-2011, using a newly assembled database of reported occurrence of Chinese fishing vessels in various parts of the world and information on the annual catch by vessel type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sound physiological knowledge and principles in modeling shrinking of fishes under climate change
TL;DR: Here, it is re-asserted, with the Gill-Oxygen Limitation Theory (GOLT), that gills, which must retain the properties of open surfaces because their growth, even while hyperallometric, cannot keep up with the demand of growing three-dimensional bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large benefits to marine fisheries of meeting the 1.5°C global warming target.
TL;DR: Limiting temperature increases to 1.5°C substantially improved catch potential and decreased turnover of harvested species and provide further support for meeting the goal of limiting climate warming, which should improve fisheries across the globe.
