Synopsis

Because climate change's impact is not typically associated with the marine environment and global change research in the marine ecosystem is a fairly new scientific discipline, Hannesson (economics, Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Bergen, Norway), along with US and UK colleagues, prefer the term 'global change' to 'climate change.' Contributors to 11 chapters review population and harvest trends for herring and other prime commercial fish, statistics on resource conservation and economic performance, and economic models for fishing impacts due to climate change. Published in association with GLOBEC (the Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics project, based at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, UK), where one of the editors is based.

Review:

`Climate Change and the Economics of the World's Fisheries brings together economists, other social scientists, fisheries biologists and mathematicians to ponder how projected changes in climate will affect fisheries and fisheries management throughout the world. . . I recommend this volume to professional fisheries economists and quantitatively oriented fisheries scientists. . . the book is provocative and likely to stimulate new research.' -- Martin D. Smith, International Journal of Maritime History
