Coastal fisheries are an important. component of the fisheries sector and rural economy of tropical developing countries in Asia generating food, employment and foreign exchange. In 1994, marine landings of these countries were about 13.3 million t (roughly 16% of world marine landings), most originating from coastal areas. The coastal fishery resources consist dominantly of species with relati...

Many rural fishing communities in Iceland are facing great economic and demographic difficulties due to changes in the fisheries management, while the national economy has benefited as a whole. Large vessel owners generally support the current system, but most small boat owners oppose it. Alaska can learn from Iceland’s experience in fisheries management, both from an economic and social perspe...

Mean trophic level (MTL) of landings and primary production required (PPR) by fisheries are increasingly used in the assessment of sustainability in fisheries. However, in their present form, MTL and PPR are prone to misinterpretation. We show that it is important to account for actual catch data, define an appropriate historical and spatial domain, and carefully consider the effects of fisheri...

(continued on page 2) Introduction The unmistakable trend toward ecosystem approaches to fisheries management is documented in a wide range of official declarations, national and international guidelines, and national-level legislation. The central motivation for this movement is the view that a more holistic ecological perspective on fisheries can lead to more robust management strategies. Eco...
