Alternative animal feed part of global fisheries crisis fix: UBC study

Finding alternative feed sources for chickens, pigs and other farm animals will significantly reduce pressure on the world's dwindling fisheries while contributing positively to climate change, according to University of British Columbia researchers.

Tropical regions to be hardest hit by fisheries shifts caused by climate change: UBC research

Major shifts in fisheries distribution due to climate change will affect food security in tropical regions most adversely, according to a study led by the Sea Around Us Project at The University of British Columbia.

Consider the Oyster (and Ocean Farming)

THERE ARE CYNICS who see only catastrophic answers to Earth’s population explosion: War and pestilence come to mind.

New study links low fish supply to increased bushmeat hunting

The declining fish supply in the West African nation of Ghana, which once had a thriving fishing industry, has led to increased illegal hunting of wild game, or bushmeat, according to new research. Researchers say that dwindling marine resources for Ghanaians have led to the extinction of almost half the species studied in some reserves. It is the first study to provide empirical evidence of an association long suspected by many conservation groups.
