Marine sciences N2 - The waters of the Indo-Pacific were at the centre of the global expansion of marine capture fisheries in the twentieth century, yet surprisingly little has been written about this subject from a historical perspective. This book, the first major study of the history of fishing in Asia and Oceania, presents the case-studies completed through the History of Marine Animal Populations (HMAP) initiative. It examines the marine environmental history and historical marine ecology of the Indo-Pacific during a period that witnessed the dramatic escalation of industrial fishing in these seas UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1407/2014935154-t.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1407/2014935154-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1407/2014935154-b.html ER -
