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.”
③The 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.

⑤Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business.
