An investigation into managing fish stocks in the North Atlantic, focusing on: how to avoid institutional inertia and encourage flexible responses to the changing environment of fishing; and how to cope with pressures for integrated fisheries management based on an ecosystem approach. These and other issues are examined through contributions from scientists, economists, sociologists, political scientists and representatives of the fishing industry from around the North Atlantic region.
