The concept is based on a confidence that scientists can predict, theoretically, the largest catch that can be taken from a species' stock over an indefinite period. And while it was modified in 1996 with passage of the Sustained Fisheries Act, MSY is still at the heart of modern American fisheries management. As fish populations continue to crash, however, it is clear that MSY is itself not sustainable. Indeed, the concept has been widely criticized by scientists for ignoring several key factors in fisheries management and has led to the devastating collapse of many fisheries. Carmel Finley reveals that the fallibility of MSY lies at its very inception-as a tool of government rather than science. The foundational doctrine of the MSY emerged at a time when the US government was using science to promote and transfer Western knowledge and technology, and to ensure that American ships and planes would have free passage through the world's seas and skies. Finley charts the history of US fisheries science using MSY as her focus, and in particular its application to halibut, tuna, and salmon fisheries. Fish populations the world over are threatened, and All the Fish in the Sea will help sound warnings of the effect of any management policies divested from science itself. 606 $aFishery management$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFishery policy$zUnited States 606 $aFisheries$xResearch$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFishery management$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFishery management, International$xHistory$y20th century 610 $asustainable, sustainability, fishing, management, yield, academic, scholarly, research, textbook, agriculture, marine life, aquatic, msy, fisheries, educational, higher education, college, university, species, legal, laws, 1990s, population, theory, government, science, technology, history, historical, policy, bristol bay, pacific, oceans, japan, rome, geographic, myths, commercial, economic, international, cold war, alaska, salmon, political. 615 0$aFishery management$xHistory 615 0$aFishery policy 615 0$aFisheries$xResearch$xHistory 615 0$aFishery management$xHistory 615 0$aFishery management, International$xHistory 676 $a333.95/60973 700 $aFinley$b Carmel$0890533 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789645503321 996 $aAll the fish in the sea$93732037 997 $aUNINA
