Pauly, D., V. Christensen, R. Froese and M. L. Palomares. "Fishing Down Aquatic Food Webs." American Scientist 88.1 (Jan.–Feb. 2000): 46–51. Many fisheries may ultimately collapse because fishing effort is being directed more and more to species that are lower on the food chain.

Pauly, D. and R. Watson. "Counting the Last Fish." Scientific American 289.1 (2003): 42–47. Overfishing not only has decimated large fishes but it has also disrupted ecosystems.

"The Promise of a Blue Revolution." The Economist 368.8336 (9-15 Aug. 2003). The environmental impact of fish farming casts a shadow on the continuous growth of mariculture.
