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... view more... (2001-11-26)
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... view more...

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)
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... 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)
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... view more... (2004-05-11)
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)
Did the North Atlantic fisheries collapse due to fisheries-induced evolution?
The Atlantic cod has, for many centuries, sustained major fisheries on both sides of the Atlantic. However, the North American fisheries have now largely collapsed. view more (2009-05-27)
LSU researchers challenge analyses on sustainability of Gulf fisheries
Louisiana's coastal fisheries produce approximately 25 percent of the total catch by weight in the lower 48 states. With such a substantial portion of the nation's economy dependant on the state of these waters - particularly the Gulf of Mexico region - it comes as no surprise that these fisheries are heavily monitored and scrutinized by... view more...

UBC scientist invokes future generations to save tuna populations from collapse
Balancing short- and long-term fisheries benefits could have prevented the collapse of the cod populations in Atlantic Canada, and is the last best chance for tuna, says University of British Columbia fisheries economist Rashid Sumaila. view more (2008-02-19)
Virginia Tech fisheries department releases cultivated mussels at Nature Conservancy site
Virginia Tech's Freshwater Mussel Conservation Center and Virginia's Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Center in Marion, Va., released several thousand mussels that have been propagated into the Clinch River. view more (2005-06-21)
Extinction threats grow as sea governance rules ignored
Those who rule the ocean waves are being named and shamed today for their role in failing to prevent the near extinction of the albatross. view more (2005-03-03)
Researchers offer new theory for dogfish and skate population outburst on George's Bank
New research by scientists at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Chesapeake Biological Laboratory questions the long-held belief that a lack of predators and competitors was the primary cause for the increase of skates and dogfish observed in Southern New England's George's Bank following overfishing of commercially... view more...

Europe's fishermen should have marine "stewardship" role, says study
NORTH Sea fishermen should be allowed to play a greater part in taking care of the marine environment as part of a new strategy to protect the sea's wildlife and habitats. view more (2004-12-13)
