stock depletion

"With the government clamping down on the wild fishery because of stock depletion, competition like that is the last thing a fisherman needs."

On the other hand, overfishing can precede severe stock depletion and fishery collapse.

Two years ago West of Scotland fishermen tabled a plan to conserve white fish but, while they wait, stock depletion continues.

It is generally accepted that increasing lake acidification due to acid deposition has caused fish kills and stock depletion (figure 4.14).

One of the major items which has always been identified with that stock depletion is the overcapitalization of the global fishing fleet.

This is exemplified by the rapid stock depletion and collapse of the Azores kitefin shark fishery.

"On a Class of Optimal Stock Depletion Policies", Management Science, 13, 1966, pp.

Targets and limited reference points must be established which will maintain the fish stock at a high enough level that the risk of stock depletion or collapse is insignificant.

There is an elaborate regulatory framework in Chile to address the issue of stock depletion since a serious decline in catch levels of certain species, mostly due to over-fishing, was registered toward the end of the 1990s.

Argument continued over the potential negative effects of catches, such as stock depletion of O-stock and J-stock whales, when the only data on many of the populations came from selective extrapolations of JSV (survey) data.

First of all, because overfishing is not the only cause of stock depletion: the indiscriminate catching of species for fishmeal production interrupts the food chain for cod and hake and to a great extent causes the situation both species are going through.

The second generation of Ford Focus stopped production late in calendar 2010, with the switchover to that of the third generation taking until early spring 2011 due to the total refitting of the Michigan Assembly Plant, and to give dealers time for stock depletion.

Indeed, we got a good number of our amendments adopted, the most important one pointing out that, even if international trade in fish products can lead to increased food security in developing countries, it has also led to increased fishing in order to supply the export market, which can exacerbate stock depletion.
