Summary
Across the globe, in developed and developing countries, the conflict is clear. Economic and social issues involving fish and fisheries are at odds with conservation and sustainability. The Fourth World Fisheries Congress dedicated four days to scientific presentations addressing key questions covering the range of global fisheries issues in a diversity of aquatic ecosystems:
– What should we care about when attempting to reconcile fisheries with conservation?
– Who owns the fish and what are they worth to society?
– Can we get more fish or benefits from fish and still reconcile fisheries with conservation?
– How can we manage aquatic ecosystems to reconcile fisheries with conservation?
– How do we reconcile fisheries with conservation in marine waters?
– How do we reconcile fisheries with conservation in freshwater habitats?
Keynote speakers provide succinct coverage of each question as it addressed the theme, followed by multiple concurrent sessions that debated each issue in specific terms. Comprehensive coverage was provided for cutting-edge issues in management, human dimensions, economics, and ecosystem dynamics in attempting to reach reconciliation on these questions.
Contains 30 session summaries and 146 peer-reviewed papers in two volumes.
