The global fishing industry is plagued by illegal fishing, however, and many highly commercial species, such as cod, tuna, orange roughy, and swordfish, are extremely vulnerable.Through criminological analysis, The Last Fish Swimming emphasizes the importance of looking at specific environmental factors that make illegal fishing possible. It examines such factors as proximity to known ports where illegally caught fish can be landed without inspection (i.e., ports of convenience), fisheries monitoring, control and surveillance efforts, formal surveillance, and resource attractiveness in 53 countries that altogether represent 96 percent of the world's fish catch. The book calls upon the global community to address the illegal depletion of the world's fish stock and other similar threats to the world's food supply and natural environment in order to ensure the sustainability of the planet's fish and continuation of the legal fishing industry for generations to come. 650 0 $a Fishery management, International $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Fisheries $x Corrupt practices. 650 7 $a Fishery management, International $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01767867 776 08 $i Online version: $a Petrossian, Gohar A., author. $t Last fish swimming $d Santa Barbara, California : Praeger, an imprint of ABC-CLIO, LLC, [2019] $z 9781440830426 $w (DLC) 2019001581 830 0 $a Global crime and justice (Westport, Conn.) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013439.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20191002013902.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BAC18A4EE4DA11E99FA2294397128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
