DANIEL PAULY: In fisheries research circles Pauly is known as one of the most widely-cited scientists of his generation.
Fisheries professor Daniel Pauly, Fisheries Centre director Tony Pitcher, and their school of like-minded graduate students and research professors are disturbing the waters around a threatened industry-one traditionally protected from the bothersome, academic species.
Pauly's novel ideas about shifting baselines and the sustainability paradox are his contributions to the fight against what he terms "an unfair allocation of public resources." He expresses his ideas in a language easily understood by the ignorant layperson, but they are firmly grounded in his research.

Daniel Pauly says technology is a major factor in the dip in fish populations.
Pauly, a professor at the University of British Columbia, says technology is a major factor in the dip in fish populations.
Pauly has mapped the entire globe although he admits that some of the data are skewed from under- or over-reporting of fish catches in some fisheries.

Daniel Pauly: Well, the figure that emerges is that we have about 10% of the biomass of large fish left - or less in most cases.
Daniel Pauly: Wel, our work shows that it has disappeared over the last century but people who have looked at this in more detail can show that it usually takes about 20 years for an industrial fishery to reduce the stock to one tenth of what it was before.
Daniel Pauly: Yes, it certainly is a war on fish and what I’m saying is that we are winning it: we have won the war on fish.

Daniel Pauly still remembers his youthful encounter 30 years ago with what he calls "the living papers." A graduate student in Germany, Pauly watched the field's royalty with awe at his first major fisheries conference.
"[Pauly] is an immensely charismatic, articulate, big-picture guy in a science that tends to produce little-picture guys," says veteran fisheries biologist Ray Hilborn, a friend and sometime critic at the University of Washington, Seattle.
As a student, Pauly was inspired by Walter Fischer, a biologist with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), who cajoled colleagues into assembling fact sheets on thousands of economically important fin- and shellfish.

In the March 16th, 1995 issue of Nature, Pauly and his colleagues disputed the idea that the sea is so vast and fertile that humans haven't yet tapped its potential as a source of food.
"[Pauly] is an immensely charismatic, articulate, big-picture guy in a science that tends to produce little-picture guys," said veteran fisheries biologist Ray Hilborn, a friend and sometime critic at the University of Washington, in Science.
Pauly, who was named director of UBC's Fisheries Centre in 2003, also backs up his strong assertions with an impressive resume in formulating innovative research methods and databases.

Dr. Daniel Pauly (Photo courtesy UBC Fisheries Centre) "The bottom line is that the downward trends in global fisheries catches have been obscured.
But Watson and Pauly warn that it is a fallacy to believe that fish farming can make up the shortfall, and they caution against their results being used to call for more aquaculture.
Pauly hopes that the study will remove what he calls "a psychological weapon" - the distortions in the global reports submitted to the FAO - that industry has used to justify putting out more boats and building bigger trawlers.

 #587 (02/26/98): Oceans Without Fish   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Of the 220 species studied, at least 60% are being overfished, or fished to the limit.[6] Pauly believes that the true situation is somewhat worse than his study indicated, principally because many countries under-report their fishing harvest.
Pauly believes that in 3 or 4 decades, many oceanic fisheries will "collapse in on themselves." The result will be a loss of high-quality protein for humans, even before the fisheries collapse completely.
Pauly believes there is an urgent need to create protected areas where fishing is simply not allowed.

Pauly -- in partnership with U.S.-based Pew Charitable Trusts which provided the funding -- will lead a team of researchers in analyzing the ecological and economic effects of industrial fishing on the marine ecosystems on both the eastern and western sides of the North Atlantic.
As part of the 24-month pilot project, the researchers will develop and test a method for reconstructing historic catch time series (including misreported catches) and past ecosystems to serve as a baseline for assessing the health of present ecosystems.
The project builds on an exhaustive study released last year in which Pauly and colleagues used nearly 50 years of United Nations fisheries data to show how fish stocks are being wiped out on a global scale by over-fishing (see naturalSCIENCE Cover story: Fishing Down Marine Food Webs, which includes an interview with Dr. Pauly).
