Catch reconstructions reveal that global marine fisheries catches are higher than reported and declining
Daniel Pauly,Dirk Zeller +1 more
TL;DR: A decade-long multinational ‘catch reconstruction’ project covering the Exclusive Economic Zones of the world's maritime countries and the High Seas from 1950 to 2010, and accounting for all fisheries, suggests that catch actually peaked at 130 million tonnes, and has been declining much more strongly since.

TL;DR: The Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) are introduced, a broadly applicable and flexible tool for assessing performance in individual fisheries, and for establishing cross-sectional links between enabling conditions, management strategies and triple bottom line outcomes.

Gender and small-scale fisheries: a case for counting women and beyond
TL;DR: The authors examined the importance of gender to the understanding of marine ecology, identifying 106 case studies of small-scale fisheries from the last 20 years that detail the participation of women in fishing (data on women fishers being the most common limiting factor to gender analysis).

Projecting global marine biodiversity impacts under climate change scenarios
William W. L. Cheung,Vicky W. Y. Lam,Jorge L. Sarmiento,Kelly A. Kearney,Reg Watson,Daniel Pauly +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the global patterns of such impacts by projecting the distributional ranges of a sample of 1066 exploited marine fish and invertebrates for 2050 using a newly developed dynamic bioclimate envelope model.

Large-scale redistribution of maximum fisheries catch potential in the global ocean under climate change
William W. L. Cheung,William W. L. Cheung,Vicky W. Y. Lam,Jorge L. Sarmiento,Kelly A. Kearney,Reg Watson,Dirk Zeller,Daniel Pauly +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that climate change may lead to large-scale redistribution of global catch potential, with an average of 30-70% increase in high-latitude regions and a drop of up to 40% in the tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change impacts on the biophysics and economics of world fisheries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how climate change is likely to impact the economics of world fisheries by affecting primary productivity, distribution and the potential yield of exploited species, highlighting the need for mitigation and adapation policies to minimize impacts.
Major trends in small-scale marine fisheries, with emphasis on developing. countries, and some implications for the social sciences
TL;DR: The authors argued that the natural role of social scientists, given their expertise, should be informing mitigating activities, is often usurped by biologists and/or economists, as demonstrated here through a Google-based analysis.
