Abstract

Unchecked exploitation of marine life and human-influenced habitat degradation and climate change are the greatest threats to marine fishes, Kim Friedman, Senior Fishery Research Officer, Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the UN, said here on Thursday. Heat stress caused by global warming is a bigger threat to fishes than dumping of plastics and other contaminants into oceans. Unlike in the developing world, the developed world, where fishing is more of a business than a component of food security, has rebuilt its fisheries stock to the 1950’s level. This was made possible because it is an organised sector there, he said.
