 | | During the past decade, fishery science in Mexico has been confronted with the imperative necessity of achieving a rational and integrated exploitation of present and potential marine resources, all of these within the framework of responsible and sustainable fisheries. |
 | | The science effort has focused on themes of overfishing, climate change, unemployment, traditional fishing, assessment models, overcapitalization, new methods, fishery management, new enterprises, co-management, marine protected areas, aquaculture, conservation, and national and international commercial treaties. |
 | | Alternatives for sustainable fisheries programs: The Gulf of California, the Gulf of Tehuantepec, the Gulf of Mexico, and other areas. |
