3 Marine Fisheries and their Uses I. Food(1% of all food eaten) Finfish (“fish”) 84% total worldwide catch, 16% of animal protein consumed by humans Shellfish: molluscs and crustaceans Other marine food: sea cucumber, jellyfish, polychaete worms, sea urchin roe, algae II. Industrial fisheries (not for direct human consumption) Herring, sardine, anchovies (schools of plankton feeders- largest catches in the world, one third of world total) Uses: fish meal for chicken feed; oil for margarine, paint, & cosmetics; petfood; fertilizer. Marine fisheries are overexploited: Worldwide catch of seafood stabilized in 1980s

6 How much fish to catch and not kill off the fishery? Catch limits set by managers: Based on Maximum Sustainable Yield Goal: keep “stock” of fish at a constant, “healthy” size
