The ecological reality:
…that leads to a web of
interactions
Implications of Ecosystem Interactions
for Traditional Fisheries Management
• Changes in the habitat will affect the average
sustainable yield.
• Different fisheries are linked through catches
and through the food web.
• All human goals for an ecosystem cannot be
simultaneously achieved.
• Even traditionally ‘well-managed’ fisheries can
impact biodiversity.
• Uncertainty is a primary factor influencing our
ability to management capture fisheries
• As a result while traditional methods may work in
the short-term, they are likely to result in long-
term changes in nature and productivity.
