Extinction is conceivable for some species, including aquarium-fish stocks of high value and limited geographical range, but a biological basis exists for management of such small fishes. Immediate data needs are much ...

Coastal fisheries occur in a variety of natural and human settings. In terms of coastal use intensity, fisheries may be viewed to operate in a spectrum ranging from essentially single sector (i.e., fisheries) situations ...
