What is Over-fishing?*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 October 2009
Abstract
For the sake of argument I will suppose:
I. That in a biologically self-contained area, e.g. in the North Sea, statistics show that the value of the total yearly catch of a certain species of fish is decreasing year by year;
II. That the catching power and the prices are not reduced;
III. That the physical conditions have not changed in an unfavourable manner.
