OECD Fisheries

Hello! I'd like to add the link to the OECD Fisheries page found at http://www.oecd.org/department/0,3355,en_2649_33901_1_1_1_1_1,00.html because I think it contains a lot of useful information. However, I've been accused of putting spam on Wikipedia for having tried to add it. I'd like to know what other people think of this link. Also, if, after exploring the link a little bit, you have any suggestions for how I could make it more useful I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Sources

Does anyone (like the people who added them? ;)) have sources for these two statements?

"One of the world’s longest lasting trade histories is the trade of dry cod from the Lofoten area to the southern parts of Europe, Italy, Spain and Portugal. The cod trading started during the viking period or before, has been going on for more than 1000 years and is still important."

and

"In India , the Pandyas a classical Dravidian Tamil kingdom were known for the pearl fishery as early as 1st century BC. Their seaport Tuticorin was known for deep sea pearl fishery and the paravas who were the inventors of the catamaran were one of the richest community because of the pearl trade, Navigation knowlegde and Fisheries." thanks -- Brassratgirl 01:58, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Further Info on Economic Fish Stocks Needed

I'm in Canada, and on a Canadian Broadcasting Corp (CBC) talk show I heard a prominent German fisheries biologist interviewed at length about global declines in the stocks of what he referred to as "the noble fishes" – the larger ocean fish often preferred as food for people, such as tuna, cod, halibut, salmon, and so on. His claim was that all of these fish are in decline, and he was alerting the thinking people, policy makers, and environmentalists of the world to it.

This fact (if it is a fact, and I suspect it is true) is alluded to in only the vaguest and most general terms in the present article. The article speaks of environmental impacts, overfishing, etc in a rather sketchy, uncompelling way.

Does anyone concerned with this article and its basic inclusiveness and quality have more information to provide? Please do. Joel Russ 17:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Fish factory

Fish factory redirect needed. I failed to quickly find any fish processing wikipedia articles. Please do something. Please do not redirect to Fish industry without expanding the latter, because such redirect will be more harmful than useful by hiding the missing topic. `'Miikka 23:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Request to add information/link on Fisheries page

Dear Fisheries page editors/administrators,

My name is Tracy and I currently work with The Standard Times website (SouthCoastToday.com) based out of New Bedford, MA. We have added a page to our website that is all about the changes that are happening to our area due to Global Warming. We have quite a few articles on the changes of the fishing industry due to these changes. I was reviewing the fisheries Wikipedia page and I though that it would be a great addition to add some of this information. The general page that we have on Global Warming and how it is affecting South Coast Massachusetts is... http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=SPECIAL34

However, the articles that are specific to the fishing industry are... 1) http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070708/SPECIAL/70705006/-1/SPECIAL34 2) http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070708/SPECIAL/70705020/-1/SPECIAL34

I wanted to know if it was possible for me to add some of this relevant information to the Fisheries page. It could be placed somewhere under the 'Issues' section. I know it is only based out of South Coast Massachusetts, but I think the information is relevant worldwide.

If someone could please get back to me when they have a second that would be appreciated.

Thank You, --Tracys49 17:54, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

• I'm glad you have a better understanding of how Wikipedia works now and stopped the spamming. The information on the pages you're linking to doesn't really contribute anything to the fisheries article. E.g. they are very basic newspaper articles touching shortly upon many issues but don't say anything that hasn't been referenced better in the current fisheries article and the articles on related topics. (that said, this article could use a few more "scientific" references) The slightly more in-depth parts are very local, the rest are just some quotes. Based on that I would say no to including them as they don't add anything. DanniellaWB 18:27, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

• • Thanks Danniella for getting back to me. I can understand that non-addition to this page. I took a shot due to it being a little to "area focused" and not widespread enough. If I can find other references that are more scientific that relate to this article, I will repost another request.

Coastal fisheries

I am wondering if Coastal fisheries would be better as part of the Fishery page? Or does it merit its own page??l santry (talk) 12:56, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

• Merge – or rather simply redirect, since there really isn't any content worth merging. There is already a comprehensive article called Coastal fish. --Epipelagic (talk) 13:15, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Trichiurus lepturus - Ribbon fish 2. Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus - Brackish water cat fish 3. Ethmalosa fimbriata - Bonga fish 4. Pseudotolithus elongatus - croaker 5.
