"Tuna longline catch rates in the Indian Ocean: did industrial fishing result in a 90% rapid decline in the abundance of large predatory species?" Marine Policy, 30: 470-482.
Maximum sustainable yield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
First, at very low population sizes, the value of is small, so the population growth rate is approximately equal to , meaning the population is growing exponentially at a rate r (the intrinsic rate of population increase). ... [ 13 ] As a result of these two extremes, the population growth rate is maximum at an intermediate population or half the carrying capacity ( ).
Factory ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commercial fish processing ships can affect birds, whales, dolphins, turtles and sharks by their broad reach methods of catching fish. ... Some barges are floating fish processing factories, which can be towed across navigable waters to receive catches from commercial fishing vessels.
Shark Declines Threaten Shellfish Stocks, Study Says
In the new research, Myers, Baum, and three other marine biologists compiled additional fisheries' records and independent research surveys going back to the 1970s to reveal that the original study underestimated the declines. ... "As a consequence we can explain why 12 of their 14 prey shark and rays species shot up in abundance in the same time frame," he added.
Pollution, overfishing destroy East China Sea fishery
Despite the fishing ban introduced in the sea area during the fish spawning season to sustain aquatic species for over a decade long, fishing resources in the Zhoushan Fishery, one the world's largest natural fishing farms, is unable to support the livelihood of 210,000 local fishermen, according to the fishery authorities in east China's Zhejiang Province. ...

Long-lived deep-sea fishes imperiled by technology, overfishing | EurekAlert! Science News
In other species, including orange roughy and oreos, an individual fish produces thousands of eggs - most of which die through predation or starvation. ... Some of the fish species living at depths greater than 500 meters take decades to reach breeding maturity, so there are no quick-fix remedies available to replenish the population, said Selina Heppell, a fisheries biologist from Oregon State University.

Using a meta-analytic approach, we estimate that large predatory fish biomass today is only about 10% of pre-industrial levels. ... We constructed trajectories of community biomass and composition of large predatory fishes in four continental shelf and nine oceanic systems, using all available data from the beginning of exploitation.
