That matters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels.
①Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline, which future management efforts must take into account.
?、赥hey believe the data support an idea current among marine biologists, that of the “shifting baseline.”
?、跿he notion is that people have failed to detect the massive changes which have happened in the ocean because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past.
