Sustainable Fishing

Định nghĩa

Harvesting fish at a rate that maintains healthy population levels and ecosystem balance for future generations. Certification programs like MSC verify sustainable practices.

Giải thích chi tiết

Sustainable fishing requires harvesting below maximum sustainable yield (MSY) — the theoretical point at which the greatest harvest can be taken without reducing future productivity. In practice, MSY calculations involve significant uncertainty, and ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) increasingly considers broader trophic effects rather than single-species models. The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) blue label certifies fisheries meeting standards for sustainable stock levels, minimal ecosystem impact, and effective management. About 15% of global marine catch is MSC-certified. Subsistence fisheries and small-scale artisanal fisheries (which employ 90% of fishers worldwide) present different management challenges than industrial fleets.
