But today this key resource faces a serious crisis as most species are being overfished or fished to their very limit. Governments have tried to tackle the problem with limited success. Many of their actions have been counterproductive or ineffective. What will happen to global fisheries, and the populations that depend on them, as we continue to catch more fish than the oceans can reproduce? \u003cp\u003eThis book explores the causes of the current crisis in the world's fisheries, and what needs to be done to address the situation. It explains the structure of the fishing industry, the incentives that persuade individuals or companies to catch fish at unsustainable levels, and illuminates the problems created by governmental efforts to use fishing policy as a tool for economic development or to win votes in domestic elections. It also looks at the role of aquaculture in either decreasing or increasing the pressure on wild fish stocks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe dire condition of fish stocks has led governments and consumer organizations to consider new approaches to protect the global supply of fish. DeSombre and Barkin conclude by showing how such methods, along with new forms of international regulation and informed decision-making by consumers, all have an important part to play in rewarding and thus encouraging sustainable fishing behaviour in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations page vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Growth of the Global Fishing Industry 24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Structure of the Fishing Industry 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Regulatory Efforts and Impacts 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Aquaculture 114\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Consumers and Catches 142\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 168\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelected Readings 174\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 178\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Agriculture \u0026amp; farming [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Agriculture \u0026amp; farming\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Agriculture%20\u0026amp;%20farming%20%5BTV%5D%22\"\u003eTV\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407320838424,"sku":"9780745650197","price":38.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745650197.jpg?v=1784161514","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/fish-hardback-9780745650197","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
