and conservation units for aquatic species. However, integration of genetic information into …

Concern over the collapse of many wild-caught fisheries has led to a recent focus on
seafood-certification and consumer-driven support of sustainable seafood. However, such …

Discarding of target species can be substantial in some fisheries. For fisheries managed
using Total Allowable Catches, such as Australia's Southern and Eastern Scalefish and …
