How technical change has boosted fish aggregation device productivity in the Indian Ocean tuna fishery

Abstract Excess harvesting power can threaten the long-term sustainability of fisheries. Indicators of excess harvesting capacity must include input–output-based estimates of economic production efficiency. The increasing use of drifting Fish-Aggregating-Devices (DFADs) has boosted fishing productiv...
