Many of the world's fisheries are in
trouble - they no longer yield the
catches, and potential profits, they once
did. The habitats that support fisheries
have been damaged by pollution and other
irresponsible use of coastal land.
Destructive fishing methods like trawling
and blast fishing have also changed fish
habitats resulting in support of fewer
fish. The authors draw on more than 1000
scientific papers covering 11
groups/species of marine invertebrates.
From this large literature, they distill
20 lessons for assessing and guiding the
use of restocking and stock enhancement in
the management of invertebrate fisheries.
