Study Finds
Hope in Saving Saltwater Fish
研究发现希望拯救盐水鱼
Can
we have our fish and eat it too? An unusual
collaboration of marine ecologists and fisheries
management scientists says the answer
may be yes.
我们可以吃鱼好吗

答案可能是是的。
In a research paper in Friday’s issue
of the journal Science, the two groups, long at
odds with each other,
offer a global
assessment of the world’s saltwater fish and their
environments.

Their conclusions are at once
gloomy
—
overfishing
continues to threaten many species
—
and upbeat:
a
combination of steps can turn things around. But
because antagonism between ecologists and
fisheries
management experts has been
intense, many familiar with the study say the most
important factor is that
it was done at
all.

They say they hope the
study will inspire similar collaborations between
scientists whose focus is safely
exploiting specific natural resources
and those interested mainly in conserving them.

“We need to merge those two
communities,” said Steve Murawski, chief fisheries
scientist for the
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration. “This paper starts to
bridge that gap.”

The
collaboration began in 2006 when Boris Worm, a
marine ecologist at Dalhousie University in
Halifax,
Nova Scotia, and other
scientists made an alarming prediction: if current
trends continue, by 2048
overfishing
will have destroyed most commercially important
populations of saltwater fish. Ecologists
applauded the work. But among fisheries
management scientists, reactions ranged from
skepticism to
fury over what many
called an alarmist report.

有的论者在许多叫做忿怒发布危言耸听的报告。
Among the most prominent critics was
Ray Hilborn, a professor of aquatic and fishery
sciences at the
University of
Washington in Seattle. Yet the disagreement did
not play out in typical scientific fashion with,
as Dr. Hilborn put it, “researchers
firing critical papers back and forth. ” Instead,
he and Dr. Worm found
themselves
debating the issue on National Public Radio.
其中最著名评论家们

是雷教授、水产渔业科学在西雅图华盛顿
大学的。但分歧没有发

博士说
:“

员关键论文射击来回摆动。相反地
,
他发现自己和博士虫辩论这事在美
国国家公共
电台。
“We started talking and
found more common ground than we had expected,”
Dr. Worm said. Dr. Hilborn
recalled
thinking that Dr. Worm “actually seemed like a
reasonable person.”
“

发现更多的共同点比我们预计的还
要早

< br>”
似乎真的很像一个讲道理的人。
”
The two decided to work
together on the issue. They sought and received
financing and began
organizing
workshops at the National Center for Ecological
Analysis and Synthesis, an organization
sponsored by the National Science
Foundation and based at the University of
California, Santa Barbara.
这两个决定一起工作有关问题。
他们寻求和接受资金和开始在国家中心
< br>工作坊生态分析和合成

该组织由美国国家科学基金会和
建立在加州大
学圣芭芭拉。
At
first, Dr. Hilborn said in an interview, “the
fi
sheries management people would go to
lunch and the
marine ecologists would
go to lunch” —
separately. But soon
they were collecting and sharing data and
recruiting more colleagues to analyze
it.

博士在接受一次采访时表示
,“
渔业管理人

,
海
洋生态学家就去吃午
饭呢
,”——
另行规定。
但很快
,
他们收集和共享数据
和招募更多的同事来分
析它。
Dr. Hilborn said he and
Dr. Worm now understood why the ecologists and the
management scientists
disagreed so
sharply in the first place. For one thing, he
said, as long as a fish species was sustaining
itself, management scientists were
relatively untroubled if its abundance fell to
only 40 or 50 percent of
what it might
otherwise be. Yet to ecologists, he said, such a
stock would be characterized as “depleted”
—
“a very
pejorative word.”

”
In the end, the scientists concluded
that 63 percent of saltwater fish stocks had been
depleted “below
what we think of as a
target range,” Dr. Worm said.
