PUBLIC LECTURE:
Fisheries and Global Warming: Impacts on marine ecosystems
– Professor Daniel Pauly takes a historical look at fisheries, and comments on the current challenges of global food security

Thu, 25 May 2017 18:00 – Theatre Auditorium, The University Club of Western Australia

Professor Daniel Pauly
The period following the Second World War saw a massive increase in fishing effort, particularly in the 1960s. However, crashes due to this overfishing began to be reflected in global catch trends in the 1970s, and intensified in the 1980s and 1990s. In response, the industrialised countries of the Northern Hemisphere (where over fishing-induced catch declines appeared first) moved their effort toward deeper waters, and toward the south, i.e., to the coasts of developing countries, and beyond into the southern hemisphere, all the way to Antarctica. Now, in the second decade of the 21st century, the global expansion of fisheries is completed, and the real global catch, which is much higher than officially reported, peaked in the late 1980s and is now rapidly declining. In parallel, the collateral damage to marine ecosystems and biodiversity continues to increase. Several factors act to prevent the public in developed countries from realising the depth of the crisis fisheries are in, notably the increased imports by developed countries, of seafood from developing countries. Also, the misleading perception that aquaculture can substitute for declining catches is widespread. In some countries, notably the U.S., stocks are being rebuilt, but elsewhere, the failure to respond creatively to these clear trends bode ill for the next decades. Indeed, the effects of global warming (productivity declines in the tropics, widespread disruptions at high latitudes), which have been increasingly felt in the last decades, will strongly impact fisheries and global seafood supply.

Q: Why do Romanians snigger when we talk about koi?
A: because “coi” is slang for testicles!
So the next time your fish vet says they’re going to see a koi client, or someone asks you to see their koi, you can let them know this little fact 🙂

I love crustaceans because they remind me of little robots, with their jointed appendages and their hard exoskeleton.

Here we have a brilliant blue marron, which used to be rather rare.

These would make a unique aquarium collection –

Check out the leading story (http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/landline/RA1701Q012S00#playing) on the White Spot disease outbreak affecting shrimp/prawn farms and native wild crustacea in Queensland and New South Wales.

Basically they’re saying, if you’re a fish farmer, don’t rely on the government. You need to put in place, your own biosecurity, push harder and shout louder.

One major factor I believe is missing, is the lack of veterinary input. Terrestrial farmed animals have been able to evade so many exotic diseases due to the dilligence and maturity of the industry, and the high level of veterinary input via the government and private sectors working collaboratively. I’d like to see this happening in the aquatic farming sectors.
