<p>Sustained and predictable biomass yields from the world's oceans are essential to the health of the world economy. The potential impacts of global change on ocean productivity require both scientists and policy makers to seek the causes of change and to determine the types of remediation needed to ensure continued, adequate biomass yields. This interdisciplinary study, containing contributions from experts around the globe, synthesizes a large body of information drawn from multiple sources and provides a cohesive study of the theory and management of large marine ecosystem resources</p>

The future is uncertain for the world's large marine ecosystems. These relatively narrow ocean zones, which produce nearly 95% of useable marine biomass, are becoming increasingly stressed both by natural and anthropogenic changes. The potential for consequent negative effects on global ecologies and economies has aroused major international concern. This new volume is a state-of-the-art update on large marine ecosystems, representing a multidisciplinary effort to develop a more holistic approach to the research, monitoring and mangaement of marine resources.
