New FCRR: Marine and Freshwater Miscellanea IV

Like its predecessors, this Fisheries Centre Research Report* is a grab-bag of contributions from Dr. Daniel Pauly and his associates, of which a few could have been submitted to peer-reviewed journals but weren’t, and others contributions that couldn’t, because of their subject matter or irreverent style.

The three contributions on sturgeon were drafted in support of an international project that was not funded and thus could not get started.

Two others deal with aspects of fish respiration, in the giant Mekong catfish and in the writing of George Cuvier, while two others deal with the reconstruction of fisheries catches; one is about the freshwater fisheries of Quebec, the other about the global catch of sponge fisheries, both from 1950 to the near present.

The remaining contributions comprise three articles on sardinella in West Africa, basic traits in sharks and rays, and the “fishing down” phenomenon in the Bohai Sea in the Chinese Northeast, and 3 short accounts with observations by Daniel Pauly on a trip to India and on receiving science awards.

We hope you find one or two items in this grab-bag interesting.
