In analyzing the fisheries sector this book explores key issues relating to the EU polity as a whole, including the distribution of power, the representation of interests at national and transnational levels, the allocation of budgets and resources, and the EU's place as an actor on the global stage. In this way Lequesne uses the Common Fisheries Policy to provide a varied illustration of European policy in action. The scholarship is based on high quality primary research, carefully conducted and articulated. The result is a fascinating insight into the fisheries sector which reveals broader characteristics of the EU.
Inland fisheries are vital for the livelihoods and food resources of humans worldwide but their importance is underestimated, probably because large numbers of small, local operators are involved. Freshwater Fisheries Ecology defines what we have globally, what we are going to lose and mitigate for, and what, given the right tools, we can save. To estimate potential production, the dynamics of freshwater ecosystems (rivers, lakes and estuaries) need to be understood. These dynamics are diverse, as are the earths freshwater fisheries resources (from boreal to tropical regions), and these influence how fisheries are both utilized and abused. Three main types of fisheries are illustrated within...
