Description

Although much of the theory and methodology has changed little in the decade since the first edition of this book, attitudes to overfishing and fisheries management have altered considerably. Stock assessment work has become more evenly spread around the world, and is no longer confined to northern temperate waters with its emphasis on the single species fisheries. This edition has been revised to include chapters on penaeid prawns which support valuable fisheries in many tropical areas, the collapse and expansion of some species of shoaling pelagic fish and the recovery of stocks of marine mammals which had been depleted by heavy exploitation. The author also examines the degree to which stock assessment scientists have been able to provide advice for managers, and suggests ways in which performance might be improved in the future.
