Wilf Swartz, Nereus Program Research Associate (Economics) at the UBC Fisheries Centre, was recently published in Fish and Fisheries. He co-authored the paper, “Masked, diluted, and drowned out: how global seafood trade weakens signals from marine ecosystems,” which examines the often overlooked link between individual fisheries, global trade and distant consumers. Swartz and his colleagues examine the usefulness of fish price and propose that fisheries systems and global markets prevent transmission of these price signals from source fisheries to consumers.
