Résumé :
Les données incomplètes, les erreurs de calcul, les erreurs non reconnues, la spéculation, les ambitions, les préjudices, la politique, le favoritisme, le jargon, les modèles mathématiques fictifs, et les mensonges retardent la gestion efficace des pêches.

Représentations :
Fisheries management is quite often based upon incomplete data, uncertain data, computational errors, unacknowledged mistakes, speculation, ambition, prejudice, politics, favoritism, jargon, fictitious mathematical models, and downright lies. Discussing fisheries management techniques, policies, and failures is often equivalent to debating the merits and shortcomings of midlist novels.

Commentaire:
while I was reading this - I wondered why we think we can "manage" fish and fishing? Why have we created a world where fish can't manage themselves? Or more rightly why have allowed greed to make fish management necessary?

The connection between fishing and eating local needs no management. But wild fish, used as a comodity for factory export is what depletes entire systems of wild fish.

Fisheries management is not about food it's about profit. "incomplete data, computational errors, unacknowledged mistakes, speculation, ambition, prejudice, politics, favouritism, jargon, fictitious mathematical models, and downright lies." ...assist DFO in confusing 'local fish for local food' with 'fish for stockholder profit'.

It began when canneries used local food to benefit stockholders. What's changed in 100 years? Competition for fish profit increased - wild fish stocks decreased.

Maybe DFO could be in the creeks, clean up fish habitat. Fisheries management can't be based on money.
