the OECD, the FAO, APEC, and the WTO. Looked at broadly, it is clear that
there is a considerable international interest in the topic. Significantly,
many of the studies describe herein will be substantially completed by the end
of 1999, and can be expected to inform the various multilateral discussions on
fisheries capacity and trade expected to take place over the coming years.
Steele, John H. (1974). The Structure of Marine Ecosystems, Harvard
University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The main aim of this analysis of marine ecosystems is to show how
theory, observation, and experiment may be combined, and how closely each
depends on the other. It also provides a basis for speculation about the
effects of man's intervention in marine ecosystems and the way in which these
differ from the consequences of his action on land. Our excessive fishing
activities can greatly alter or destroy certain fisheries without any
catastrophic changes in the rest of the system. On the other hand,
eutrophication in fresh water, by altering the plant populations, appears to
induce changes in the whole of the system. These examples can be fitted into
the theoretical framework, and this framework can be used to approach recent
or future problems of man's impact in the open sea.

Benthic Research in the NMFS Northeast Fisheries Science Center.
Marine Fisheries Review, 57(2):1-13.
The Northeast Fisheries Science Center of NOAA s National Marine
Fisheries Service has a long history of research on benthic invertebrates and
habitats in support of the management of living marine resources. These
studies began in the 1870's under Spencer F. Baird s guidance as part of an
effort to characterize the Nation s fisheries and living marine resources and
their ecological interactions. This century and a quarter of research has
included many benthic invertebrate studies, including community
characterizations, shellfish biology and culture, pathology, ecosystem energy
budget modeling, habitat evaluations, assessments of human impacts, toxic
chemical bioaccumulation in demersal food webs, habitat or endangered species
management, benthic autecology systematics, and other benthic studies. Here
we review the scope of past and current studies as a background for strategic
research planning and suggest areas for further research to support NOAA s
goals of sustainable fisheries management , healthy coastal ecosystems, and
protected species populations.

This document identifies and describes economic data items that are
necessary for estimating marine recreational fishing benefits derived from the
Nation's ocean resources and for measuring the impacts of fishery management
decisions.
