This book encapsulated data collected by the Sea Around Us Project, documenting fisheries catch reconstructions for all maritime countries of the world, which initially covered the years from 1950 to 2010. Prior to this opus there has been only one source of data on global fishery catches: information reported to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations by member countries. The Sea Around Us Project spent ten-years undertaking this epic study, showing that the officially reported catch data was misleading, with many countries underreporting the catch by as much as 500%, while others significantly overreported their catches. The study also included poorly reported data from small-scale, sport and recreational fishers; information that was not included in FAO figures. What you are looking at now is an update of that study, documenting the ... |
