Insularity of scientific disciplines and uncertainty about supply: the two keys to the failure of fisheries management

Marine Policy, 2003, vol. 27, issue 1, 69-73

Abstract: The roots of the failure of the current system of the management in commercial fisheries, variability of the supply function and interdisciplinary problems are analyzed. Variability in the supply function is linked to our increasing understanding of the importance of the complexity of changes in the ocean environment and human predation on fish stocks. This emphasis on environmental change opens up new approaches to management.
