Navigating a just and inclusive path towards sustainable oceans
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that despite growing concerns about exclusionary decision-making processes and social injustices, there remains inadequate attention to issues of social justice and inclusion in ocean science, management, governance and funding.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the current status, exploitation pattern, required time for rebuilding, future catch, and future profitability for 397 European stocks and found that exploitation levels of 50-80% of the maximum will rebuild stocks and lead to higher catches than currently obtained, with substantially higher profits for the fishers.

Far from home: Distance patterns of global fishing fleets.
TL;DR: Mapping reconstructed catches shows that subsidy-fuelled industrial fishing may have reached its spatial limit, and global trends to be dominated by the expansion histories of a small number of distant-water fishing countries.

Consumer preferences for sustainable aquaculture products: Evidence from in-depth interviews, think aloud protocols and choice experiments
TL;DR: Results revealed that sustainable aquaculture was associated with natural, traditional, local, and small scale production systems with high animal welfare standards and consumers had a positive attitude towards sustainable Aquaculture, but communication measures and labelling schemes should be improved.

Fishing Down Marine Food Webs
TL;DR: The mean trophic level of the species groups reported in Food and Agricultural Organization global fisheries statistics declined from 1950 to 1994, and results indicate that present exploitation patterns are unsustainable.

The Economic Theory of a Common-Property Resource: The Fishery
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the economic theory of natural resource utilization as it pertains to the fishing industry and showed that most of the problems associated with the words "conservation" or "depletion" or ''overexploitation" in the fishery are, in reality, manifestations of the fact that the natural resources of the sea yield no economic rent.

TL;DR: If the growing aquaculture industry is to sustain its contribution to world fish supplies, it must reduce wild fish inputs in feed and adopt more ecologically sound management practices.

Rapid worldwide depletion of predatory fish communities
Ransom A. Myers,Boris Worm +1 more
TL;DR: The analysis suggests that management based on recent data alone may be misleading, and provides minimum estimates for unexploited communities, which could serve as the 'missing baseline' needed for future restoration efforts.
