Can catch shares prevent fisheries collapse?
Recent reports suggest that most of the world's commercial fisheries could collapse within
decades. Although poor fisheries governance is often implicated, evaluation of solutions …

Contrasting global trends in marine fishery status obtained from catches and from stock assessments
There are differences in perception of the status of fisheries around the world that may partly
stem from how data on trends in catches over time have been used. On the basis of catch …
