The aim of the Sea Around Us Project is to quantify, in ecological and economic terms, the impact of fisheries on the marine ecosystems of the North Atlantic, and to evaluate the costs and benefits of various scenarios of mitigation, such as status quo, rebuilding of depleted resources and implementation of closed areas. Dealing with these issues requires a methodological package related to, bu...

In this report, the main challenges of managing orange roughy fisheries are outlined, as well as lessons learned that could be applied in the future to fisheries for this species (and others like it) which in some cases may allow for an ecologically sustainable, albeit limited, commercial fishery. The term ‘sustainable’ or ‘sustainable fishery’ in this context is defined as a fishery which meet...
