Charles, Anthony T. 'Towards sustainability : the fishery experience'. Ecological Economics 11 (1994) : 201-211. New York: Elsevier, 1994. 11 p.
Abstract: The fishery, with its inherent complexity and long history of debate over matters of sustainability provides an important case study on sustainable development and the routes to its achievement. This paper (a) reviews the evolution of sustainability concepts and management paradigams in the fishery, (b) draws on this experience to develop an integrated "sustainability assessment" framework, and (c) analyses potential policy directions for sustainable development
Christie, W.J. 'Developing the concept of sustainable fisheries'. Journal of Aquatic Ecosystem Health (1993). Note: Author's Proof
Abstract: We are approaching the limits to world fish yields, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain the stocks in the face of allocative disputes between fisheries and between competing water uses. A new strategy if needed to integrate aquatic ecosystem management into the larger context of environmentally sustainable development. This will need to span jurisdictions and interest sectors in long-range environment-economy planning. It is suggested that this process is impossible within conventional government infrastructures, and that a new movement is needed, involving multi-sector, independent public participation.

Abstract: The rapid expansion of intensive one-species aqualculture has generated severe environmental as well as socio-economic problems. A major reason is that Western-oriented aquaculture has been managed as an isolated part of its supporting environment. In this paper, the authors compare the use of industril energy for various aquaculture, fisheries and agriculture systems and analyze the connection between resource use, methods of culturing and environment impacts. The characteristics of one-species aquaculture, such as intensive throughput-based salmon cage-farming and shrimp pond-farming, are found to be similarto those of stressed ecosystems. Because of the problems with these monocultures, there is a great need for Western-oriented aquaculture to redirect the industry's present behavior towards a path of synergy between development and environment. A challenge is to find ecological economic ways to integrate culturing activities in coastal areas. The authors conclude that the more a cultivation system recognizes and mimics natural ecosystem functions the less resource inputs are required and the less environmental effects can be expected.

Henderson, Michael A. and Michael C. Healey. 'Doubling sockeye salmon production in the Fraser River - is this sustainable development?' Environmental Management 17 (1993): 719-728.
Abstract: We evaluate a proposal to double sockeye salmon production from the Fraser River and conclude that significant changes will be required to current management processes, particularly the way available catch is allocated, if the plan is to be consistent with five major principles embodied in the concept of sustainable development. Doubling sockeye salmon production will not, in itself, increase economic equity either regionally or globally. Developing nations may actually be hindered in their attempts to institute other, nonsalmon fisheries in the North Pacific Ocean as a result of the possible interception of salmon. Further, other users of the Fraser River basin will have to forgo opportunities so that salmon habitat can be conserved. If doubling sockeye salmon production is to be the goal of doing more with less, it will be necessary to develop more efficient technologies to harvest the fish. If increasing salmon production is to reflect the integration of environmental and economic decision making at the highest level, then a serious attempt must be made to incorporate environmental assets into national economic accounting. Finally, to promote biodiversity and cultural self-sufficiency within the Fraser River basin, it will be important to safeguard the small, less-productive salmon stocks as well as the large ones and to allocate a substantial protion of the increased production to the Native Indian community.

Johnston, Douglas M. 'The driftnetting problem in the Pacific Ocean: legal considerations and diplomatic options'. Ocean Development and International Law 21 (1990): 5-39.
Abstract: Large-scale driftnetting is a particularly destructive and indiscriminate mode of capturing the sea's living resources and other wildlife. Because of the methods and materials used, the practice presents an environmental threat as well. In the Pacific, pressures by "victim states" to reduce or eliminate driftnetting by vessels of the "culprit states" have led to bilateral and regional actions and , in December 1989, to a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for, inter alia, moratoria on large-scale driftnetting by mid-1992. The author notes the inapplicability of national law to this high seas problem and the difficulties of managing driftnetting practices under "classical" and "neoclassical" international law approaches. Only the "soft law" duties to conserve, cooperate, and negotiate provide a legal avenue toward resolving the problem. Ultimately, the solution lies in various kinds of diplomacy, described by the author as "transactional", "guidelines," and "leverage" diplomacy.

Abstract: The purposes of this study were to investigate the traditional use of the fisheries resource by the Haida people, the historical development of the fishery harvest in the area, and the cultural and economic impacts related to changes in the Haida people's participation in the fishing industry. The study focuses on one group of Haida people - those living in the northern reserve of Haida, on the islands of Haida Gwaii (commonly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands), off the coast of British Columbia, Canada.

Abstract: Local knowledge about the environment and natural resources is being shown to be an important asset in coastal marine societies. Such knowledge provides the basis for traditional community-based management systems, and its aquisition, use and transmission are extremely relevant to livelihoods in subsistence fishing over most of the world. Once collected, verified and blended with more technical forms of research, such as population genetics and dynamics, physiology and microbiology, local knowledge has great potential for the effective management of tropical coastal marine resources
