Reinventing Fisheries Management

by Tony J. Pitcher (Editor), Paul J.B. Hart (Editor), Daniel Pauly (Editor)

Judged by a dismaying track record and a consequent downturn in the reputation of fisheries scientists, fisheries management is a candidate for reinvention, with many world leaders in this area holding the view that no fishery has ever been properly understood or managed. This study seeks a new paradigm that will place the flux of ideas in perspective and help to choose those that will make fisheries management work.
