Review

This volume contains a first-class analysis of topical global fisheries issues, and is right up to date. By covering subject areas as diverse as fish discards, the Common Fisheries Policy, risk and the Precautionary Principle, and methods for the allocation of fishing rights, this volume can support discussion and argument among current and future generation of fisheries managers. -- Journal of Fish Biology, January 1999
