What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Uses new methods to present a truer picture of world fish stocks and their exploitation, and explains what these methods are.”
“Accurate data on catches is critical…thanks to [The Global Atlas of Marine Fisheries]…we have a much better knowledge of how much fish is being caught from the ocean.”– “Journal of Fish Biology”“Highly informative and intellectually compelling…Pauly and Zeller’s Atlas will provide considerable grist for thoughtful discussion, reflection, and argument.”– “Ocean Yearbook”“This book is the first to provide detailed fishery catch data covering literally the entire world’s oceans…The atlas will be an indispensable resource and should inspire the management of marine fisheries in ways that will restore their productivity as opposed to accentuating their decline.– “Conservation Biology”
