Scientist advocates increased fisheries data gathering
Fisheries management decisions are often based on population models. However, those models need quality data to be effective. View More (2007-02-20)
Scientists to hand "crisis-hit" European fisheries a lifeline
Scientists from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne are leading an international programme aimed at handing European fisheries a lifeline. The University has just signed a Euro 1.5m. contract with the European Union for the development of a fisheries management framework that includes consideration of the wider ecosystem. It will also involve marine ecologists, fisheries scientists and... View More (2001-11-26)
Awareness and labeling initiatives can benefit inland fisheries
Sustainable seafood initiatives, including certification and ecolabeling and awareness schemes, could be extended to more effectively cover inland, freshwater fisheries, according to researchers writing in the November issue of BioScience. View More (2011-11-04)
How to make global fisheries worth 5 times more: UBC research
Rebuilding global fisheries would make them five times more valuable while improving ecology, according to a new University of British Columbia study, published today in the online journal PLoS ONE. View More (2012-07-16)
Critically endangered porpoise is focus of new research report
An international research team, including biologists from NOAA's Fisheries Service, reported in the scientific journal Conservation Biology, that the estimated population of vaquita, a porpoise found in the Gulf of California, is likely two years away from reaching such low levels that their rate to extinction will increase and possibly be irreversible. Scientists believe only about 150 vaquita... View More (2008-01-15)
Modest fisheries reduction could protect vast coastal ecosystems: UBC research
A reduction of as little as five per cent in fisheries catch could result in as much as 30 per cent of the British Columbia coastal ecosystems being protected from overfishing, according to a new study from the UBC Fisheries Centre. View More (2009-07-22)
Bycatch reduction, marine debris addressed by MCA at American Fisheries Society Meeting in Ottawa
Progress toward addressing the issues of bycatch and marine debris reduction will be featured at the MCA's booth at the upcoming annual meeting of the American Fisheries Society (AFS) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. View More (2008-08-15)
NOAA proposes federal regulations to protect black abalone
NOAA Fisheries Service published with the Federal Register today a proposed rule to list black abalone, a marine mollusk coveted by fishermen and gourmets alike, as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). View More (2008-01-14)
Albatross study provides new information vital to their conservation
Albatrosses are the world's most threatened family of birds. New research offers the first hope of identifying migration and feeding patterns to reduce their unnecessary slaughter by long-line fisheries. The study is reported in the journal Science, and outlines, for the first time, the year-round habitat of the grey-headed albatross. View More (2005-01-11)
Polarstern's biggest fish catch in 24 years of research in Antarctic waters
Five tons of marbled Antarctic cod (Notothenia rossii), now that was surely a big surprise to scientists and crew on board of Polarstern, alike considering that previous and subsequent hauls barely ever reaped such plentiful harvests. View More (2006-12-27)
Scientists offer new take on selective fishing
A new, less selective approach to commercial fishing is needed to ensure the ongoing productivity of marine ecosystems and to maintain biodiversity, according to a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. View More (2010-05-14)
Bleak Times For The Orange Roughy
A committee of high-level marine scientists are calling for an immediate drop in fishing effort on deep sea stocks such as the orange roughy. According to a report which is released by ICES today (11 June), most deep sea fish stocks are being overfished. Scientists are recommending that not only should existing fishing pressure be reduced but also that the brake should be put on any further... View More (2004-06-10)
World interest in Australian fishery impact test
An Australian method for assessing the environmental impact of marine fisheries has caught the eye of fishery management agencies worldwide. View More (2009-10-28)
Global fisheries research finds promise and peril
Global fisheries, a vital source of food and revenue throughout the world, contribute between US$225-$240 billion per year to the worldwide economy, according to four new studies released today. View More (2010-09-15)
Fishing benefits from marine reserves
The creation of marine reserves in which fishing is banned can benefit fisheries in adjacent areas, according to Dr Callum Roberts of the Environment Department at the University of York. View More (2001-11-30)
New Approach Needed if Fish Stocks are to Survive
A new approach to fisheries management, taking into account the full range of human impacts on the ecosystem, is needed if fish stocks are to survive, according to Professor Chris Frid of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, speaking at the EurOCEAN European Conference on Marine Science and Ocean Technology in Galway today. "Fishing is generally regarded as the most pervasive human impact... View More (2004-05-11)
New collaborative process can help improve management of marine recreational fisheries
In an era when fisheries management is rife with controversy, new research led by a team of University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science fisheries scientists shows that a new, stakeholder-driven process can improve the way we manage fisheries targeted by both commercial and recreational interests.

Study shows small-scale fisheries' impact on marine life
Small-scale fisheries could pose a more serious threat to marine life than previously thought. View More (2011-07-19)
Arctic fisheries catches 75 times higher than previous reports: UBC research
University of British Columbia researchers estimate that fisheries catches in the Arctic totaled 950,000 tonnes from 1950 to 2006, almost 75 times the amount reported to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) during this period. View More (2011-02-07)
UBC researcher gives first-ever estimate of worldwide fish biomass and impact on climate change
Are there really plenty of fish in the sea? University of British Columbia fisheries researcher Villy Christensen gives the first-ever estimate of total fish biomass in our oceans: Two billion tonnes. View More (2009-01-16)
