Study suggests decline in UK fish stocks more severe than thought

05 May 2010

Caroline Davies writes in The Guardian, Tuesday May 4 2010

The UK's modern fishing fleet must work 17 times harder for the same catch as their sail-powered Victorian counterparts, a study has claimed, suggesting the decline in fish stocks is more profound than previously thought. Records of fish landings dating back to the 1880s showed UK trawlers - then fishing closer to port - landed twice as much fish in 1889 as today, despite advances enabling crews to fish further, faster and deeper.
