Food Chains, Yields, Models, And Management Of Large Marine Ecosoystems

by Kenneth Sherman

Overview

Draws on case studies from tropical, temperate, and Arctic waters around the world, comparing multispecies biomass yield models for various large marine ecosystems. Emphasis is given to adaptive management as a strategy for maximizing the sustainability and productivity of living marine resources.

Editorial Reviews

Looks at reasons for variation in the productivity of living resources in oceans under the jurisdiction of the US, and suggests management strategies that might lead to long-term sustainability. The 13 papers, from a symposium at the 1989 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, focus on food chains and constructing models. Annotation c.
