The Crisis in Marine Biodiversity.
1999 Series 2 Number 1 Page 14
Dr. Don McAllister, an ichthyologist with the Canadian Museum of Nature and U British Columbia, evaluated the status of marine biodiversity and ecological knowledge as the 20th century closed.
This was a long, detailed, comprehensive, and well documented review of the science at the time, with many references.
Dr. McAllister said much closer and more extensive monitoring of fish was required, and that governments and industry needed to control their catch much better if fisheries were not to collapse.
[Does this sound familiar? I think one would have to conclude from the evidence in the last link below that at least the latter has not occurred. Ed.]
