Where is the catch

Around the world there are two main types of fisheries: large-scale and small-scale. In politics and science, large-scale industrial fleets, with their bigger catches and greater revenues, attract most of the attention. Meanwhile, traditional subsistence and artisanal fisheries are often overlooked. Yet as a new study shows, some small-scale fisheries take way more fish than anyone expected. It’s just that, until now, no one has been keeping track.
