While I applaud the author's purpose of throwing light on the problem of overfishing, the book is a look at several species in very specific and does not offer a good view of the conditions of the world's oceans. Some say that overfishing of these species is an indicator of the health of the oceans of the world, however, some species facing the Board, while others are fine. Highly migratory species (discussed what the author) are not a barometer of the fishing industry as a whole.
As the author is an avid angler, it is logical that is concerned about the species of tuna, marlin, sailfish and swordfish. And with the exception of tuna species, while intensive fishing, are not nearly in the situation in many other fisheries in the United States and around the world. Atlantic cod as an example of the difficulty is more serious and fishing has been almost full. There are serious doubts about whether fishing will never return, and if it does, it will support the business.
Species he refers to overexploitation, although the figures are hotly disputed between nations, making it difficult to assess. Furthermore, the author insists that a certain share of these species should be left to the sport fishing industry. His claim is that the sport fishing industry generates hundreds of millions of dollars into the economy of the boat to fight the sales. I, however, the question of calculation, as seems to involve all sport fishing in the monetary statistics, which do not recognize the many other opportunities for sport fishing in the United States, which is not affected by the decline of highly migratory species.
The author does a good job in showing the problems with the NMFS, however, to discuss how the agency is responsible. They are responsible for all fisheries in U.S. waters, and are grossly under-funded for the task.
There are good books about the decline of fishing industries in the world. If you are interested in highly migratory species, this book may be of value. However, if you're worried about the global oceans is a poor choice of books.
