Figure 7. Decadal trends (1990-1999) in biomass yields (mmt) of the
six candidate LMEs for precautionary approach actions to preclude total
fish biomass reductions. (Value after LME name represents 1999 biomass
yield level. Data are based on FAO statistics, as reported to the FAO
by official national sources, in Garibaldi and Limongelli (2003). Unfortunately,
fisheries effort data are not available for trend analyses. Reproduced
