Fisheries' Collapse and the Making of a Global Event, 1950s–1970s
This article analyses three fisheries crises in the post-war world – the Far East Asian Kamchatka salmon in the late 1950s, the north Atlantic Atlanto-Scandian herring of the late 1960s, and the Peruvian anchoveta of the early 1970s – to understand how each instance came to be understood as a ‘colla...

Collapses thus became events critical in the remaking of management regimes.
