Impact of High Seas Closure on Food Security in Low Income Fish Dependent Countries. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2016
We investigate how high seas closure will affect the availability of commonly consumed food fish in 46 fish reliant, and/or low income countries. Domestic consumption of straddling fish species (fish that would be affected by high seas closure) occurred ...
