Review of the state of world fishery resources: Marine fisheries
This paper updates the regular reviews of the state of the world's marine fish stocks, based mainly on statistics through 1994. The introduction refers to the limits of world fish production and to major trends in world fisheries since 1950. Attention is drawn to the generalized high level of exploitation of the more valuable marine resources. More detailed remarks are provided for each FAO statistical area, together with a discussion of the major changes and trends that have occurred in specifi c resources and the fishery assessment strategies in current use in support of fisheries management in each region. Special sections address the global issue of tunas and tuna-like species and other special topics dealing with lanternfishes as a potential resource, and global synchrony in fish populations. Summary tables are provided for each statistical area showing historical and recent landings for the major marine resources and judgements on their current state of exploitation.
