The Future of Marine Fisheries

This volume represents a vinegret * of contributions covering a variety of fish and fishery related topics.It ranges from a very informal interpretation of forgotten data, through some focused and localized studies, to high-level overviews and philosophical opinions.One thing that unites them, besides co-authorship, is the will to showcase research that has been conducted but for whatever reason did not make into prime literature.As we researchers know, if something is not published, it is usually does not exist.Yet, every bit of research requires human and funding investments, and if results and findings are not in the public domain and accessible to everyone, someone somewhere will do this again and spent resources which are always in a short supply.In my opinion, miscellaneous issues like this are a very good idea and should be a re-occurring phenomenon in the FCRR.I am fairly certain that every researcher would have dozens of documents that did not 'make the cut' for peer-reviewed literature, but do represent valuable pieces of research and an invaluable reference.
