Management of Shared Fish Stocks

Celebrating the centenary of the Centre for Environment Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) Fisheries Research Laboratory at Lowestoft, UK, this peer-reviewed, edited tome discusses four interwoven themes:
· The consequences and management of unregulated/unreported catches
· Competition
· External drivers and resource behaviour
· Ecosystems and migration

With contributions from fisheries scientists, policy-makers and managers from more than twenty countries, this international volume has evolved from the CEFAS symposium on International Approaches to Management of Shared Fish Stock- Problems and Future Directions. The editors, Andrew Payne, Carl O’Brien and Stuart Rogers, have succeeded in bringing together the research of over sixty participants into an essential source of reference for all those involved in, or studying, fisheries management across the globe.

Stuart Rogers is an advisor to the UK government on the ecosystem-based approach to management of human activitied in the sea, and is a fish ecologist whose particular interst cover the demography and diversity of fish populations. He edits for the Journal of Fish Biology.
