  18. Maximum Sustainable Yield Population Size (N) = Growth = Maximum Sustainable Yield Time (t)

  19. Maximum Sustainable Yield Growth / Yield Fishing effort

  20. Simple Abundance Model

  21. Single Species Models • Assessment models are biased because they do not incorporate the predation by other species. • Assessment models are limited because of their emphasis on equilibrium solutions, such as MSY. • Assessment models do not usually account for environmental changes, whether interannual or interdecadal. • A correct assessment approach requires that a multi-species framework be used. • Harvest recommendations from single-species assessment do not consider the needs of other species. • Harvest recommendations from single-species assessment involve the deliberate fishing down of a population and therefore adversely change the ecosystem. • The single-species approach is invalidated, because overfishing has occurred for at least a majority of the world’s fisheries. • Single-species approaches do not account for the indirect effects of fishing (e.g. bottom fishing on habitat quality).

  23. Neoclassical Sustainability

  24. Modern Sustainability

  25. Fishery induced changes in world fish composition

  26. Fishing Down the Food Web

  27. Shark Populations NE Atlantic Baum et al. 2003

  28. Fisheries at the crossroad • Fisheries have significantly contributed to human development and can still do so • There are problem areas and avenues for positive change • Change will never be at no cost; but….

  29. The status quo is not an option !

  30. Solutions?

  31. Historical Succession of Coastal Ecosystems • Over-exploitation of large predators • Collapse “Ecosystem Engineering” species • Rise of Microbes Jackson et al. 2001
