Researchers uncover possible explanation for California anchovy boom-and-bust cycles
A new study based on 45 years of data suggests that shorter food chains precede anchovy population booms, while longer ones lead to busts.
In efforts to enhance transparency in fisheries, the ultimate beneficial owner comes into focus
Complex international ownership chains make it difficult for enforcement authorities to identify the ultimate beneficial owner of a fishing vessel.
