...biomass conservation? (iii) In a world with limited resources to devote to fishery recovery, which countries provide the most compelling and urgent cases for fishery reform? In addition, (iv) how long will benefits of reform take to arrive? We examined three approaches to future fishery management: (1) business-as-usual management (BAU) (for which status quo management is used for projections) (SI Appendix), (2) fishing to maximize long-term catch (FMSY), and (3) rights-based fishery management (RBFM), where economic value is optimized....

...Catch from the world’s fish stocks has been static since the 1980’s (e.g. Branch et al. 2011) with 63 % of stocks assessed as requiring rebuilding (Worm et al. 2009)....

...While some recent management efforts have led to improved controls of fishing mortality, along with stock stabilization and recovery in some places (Branch et al., 2011; Worm et al., 2009), some small pelagic fisheries continue to be sub-optimally managed and sensitive to demand changes (Asche and…...

...We use the term catch to refer to reported catches, or “landings,” which excludes discarded fish and illegal, unreported, and unregulated catches (Kelleher 2005; Zeller & Pauly 2005; Agnew et al. 2009)....

...We obtained estimates of BMSY either directly from stock assessments (n = 126) or by fitting a Schaefer (1954) model (logistic population growth) to time series of catch and biomass data (n = 108), as described elsewhere (Worm et al. 2009; Hutchings et al. 2010)....

...The collapsed threshold of <0.2 BMSY was also used by Worm et al. (2009), and corresponds to 10% of unfished total biomass under a Schaefer (1954) model....
