international research initiative and a member of the Global FisheriesCluster at the University of British Columbia showed a decrease inbiomass, which is the weight of a given population in the water, afterassessing more than 1,300 populations of sea animals along with theresearchers at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel andthe University of Western Australia. The researchers have recorded “globaldeclines, some sever” of many species that are most favourite kinds ofseafood.

The lead author of the study and manager of the international researchinitiative Sea Around US, Maria ‘Deng’ Palomares said that the study is“first-ever” on a global scale that studies the elongated trends in thepopulation biomass of the marine fish and invertebrates that are exploitedfor human consumption. When the researchers looked at such species andtheir population over the span of the last 60 years, they found ‘lowbiomass level’.

‘Very bad’ category
As per the study published on Sea Around Us’ o!cial website, of all thepopulations that were analysed by researchers, at least 82 per cent of themare below the level that can, in turn, produce maximum sustainable yieldsbecause the rate at which they have been taken out from the sea is morethan what is regrown. The study even said that this finding also implies,“that fishers are catching less and less fish and invertebrates over time,even if they fish longer and harder.” Palomares said that some of these
Maria ‘Deng’ Palomares said, “This is the Arst-ever global study of long-term trends in thepopulation biomass of exploited marine Ashand invertebrates for all coastal areas on theplanet.”

"“When we looked at how the populations ofmajor species have been doing in the past 60years, we discovered that, at present, most oftheir biomasses are well below the level thatcan produce optimal catches,” she added.

“In fact, more than 8 per cent of thesepopulations or about 87 populations arecurrently in the ‘very bad’ category, withbiomass levels less than 20 per cent of the levelthat might maximize sustainable Asheriescatches,” Palomares said.
