Historical Perspectives of Fisheries Exploitation in the Indo-Pacific, Hardcover by Christensen, Joseph (EDT); Tull, Malcolm (EDT), ISBN 9401787263, ISBN-13 9789401787260, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The waters of the Indo-Pacific were at the centre of the global expansion of marine capture fisheries in the twentieth century, yet surprisingly little has been written about this subject from a historical perspective. This book, the first major study of the history of fishing in Asia and Oceania, presents the case-studies completed through the History of Marine Animal Populations (HMAP) initiative. It examines the marine environmental history and historical marine ecology of the Indo-Pacific during a period that witnessed the dramatic escalation of industrial fishing in these seas.
