Something Is Happening to Our Fish Stocks The oceans and us 1 The oceans and us Since man first gazed across its watery depths, the sea has been held in special regard. It has evoked visions of splendour and horror. It has provided life-sustaining riches and taken the lives of many in return. The sea is and continues to be a mystery, a symbolic representation of the forces of good and evil; of things that are beautiful and those that are beastly; of that which is human and that which is inspirational. The History of Seafood Of all the things that the oceans provide, perhaps the most important resource for us is the rich array of seafood which we harvest from its depths and shorelines across the world. More importantly, for those of us involved in the seafood industry, from the fishers who catch the fish, to the restaurant or deli owner that sells it, this seafood represents more than just a source of food; it is part of our culture, our heritage and our livelihood. Seafood may mean different things to different people. We may not know it but we all depend on the oceans To some, it is the height of luxury; an oyster still fresh in one way or another. from the sea shared over a glass of champagne.

Unlike almost all the other types of food that we may find in restaurants and supermarkets today, most of the seafood we eat still comes from the wild. For many people, this is one of the major attractions of eating seafood; it connects us to those long-forgotten days when humans still had to hunt for their food.

At a time when many consumers regard products from conventional commercial land-based farms with increasing suspicion, seafood is growing in popularity.

  • SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES and RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: a Guide for USAID Staff and Partners
    SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES AND RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: A Guide for USAID Staff and Partners June 2013 ABOUT THIS GUIDE GOAL This guide provides basic information on how to design programs to reform capture fisheries (also referred to as “wild” fisheries) and aquaculture sectors to ensure sound and effective development, environmental sustainability, economic profitability, and social responsibility. To achieve these objectives, this document focuses on ways to reduce the threats to biodiversity and ecosystem productivity through improved governance and more integrated planning and management practices. In the face of food insecurity, global climate change, and increasing population pressures, it is imperative that development programs help to maintain ecosystem resilience and the multiple goods and services that ecosystems provide. Conserving biodiversity and ecosystem functions are central to maintaining ecosystem integrity, health, and productivity. The intent of the guide is not to suggest that fisheries and aquaculture are interchangeable: these sectors are unique although linked. The world cannot afford to neglect global fisheries and expect aquaculture to fill that void. Global food security will not be achievable without reversing the decline of fisheries, restoring fisheries productivity, and moving towards more environmentally friendly and responsible aquaculture. There is a need for reform in both fisheries and aquaculture to reduce their environmental and social impacts. USAID’s experience has shown that well-designed programs can reform capture fisheries management, reducing threats to biodiversity while leading to increased productivity, incomes, and livelihoods. Agency programs have focused on an ecosystem-based approach to management in conjunction with improved governance, secure tenure and access to resources, and the application of modern management practices.

A final review by staff from NOAA-NMFS’ Alaska Fisheries Science Center was completed in June 2019 and the document was finalized in March 2016. Data throughout the report was compiled in November 2018. Revisions to source data after this time may not be reflect in this report. Typically, revisions to economic fisheries data are not substantial and data presented here accurately reflects the trends in the analyzed markets.

Dunn Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab, Nicholas School of the Environment, Box 90328, Duke University, Levine Science Research Center, Durham, NC 27708, USA *Corresponding author: tel: þ1 (919) 638 4783; fax: þ1 252 504 7648; e-mail: [email protected]. Ortuno~ Crespo, G. and Dunn, D. C. A review of the impacts of fisheries on open-ocean ecosystems. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, doi:10.1093/icesjms/fsx084. Received 30 August 2016; revised 14 April 2017; accepted 1 May 2017. Open-ocean fisheries expanded rapidly from the 1960s through the 1980s, when global fish catches peaked, plateaued and possibly began to decline. While catches remain at best stagnant, fishing effort globally continues to increase (Anticamara, J. A., Watson, R., Gelchu, A., and Pauly, D. 2011. Fisheries Research, 107: 131–136; Merrie, A., Dunn, D. C., Metian, M., Boustany, A. M., Takei, Y., Elferink, A. O., Ota, Y., et al. 2014. Global Environmental Change 27: 19–31). The likelihood of ecosystem impacts occurring due to fishing is related to fishing effort and is thus also expected to be increasing. Despite this rapid growth, ecological research into the impacts of fisheries on open-ocean environments has lagged behind coastal and deep-sea environments. This review addresses this knowledge gap by considering the roles fisheries play in con- trolling the open-ocean at three ecological scales: (i) species (population or stock); (ii) biological community; and (iii) ecosystem.
