| Resumen : | It is generally conceded that world marine fisheries are
facing difficult times. Quantitatively world fish catch has
levelled off, and qualitatively the portion of total fish catch
representing high-quality, high-priced, and high-demand
fish stocks is declining. A recent study indicates that fishing
effort is proceeding farther down the food chain as the
desired species at the top of that chain are becoming less
abundant.1 While there is some discussion as to whether
and to what degree the problem is due to natural causes
such as El Niño or to anthropogenic causes such as
overfishing and habitat destruction, it is clear that in many
cases overfishing, associated with modern technology, increased
effort, and open access, has been a significant contributor
to fishery decline. |
