| Thomson Financial News Super Focus, October 9, 2008 Thursday 6:08 AM GMT - As more and more fishermen chase fewer and fewer fish, $50 billion is lost each year in potential economic benefits to the fishing industry, a report released Wednesday said.
Released by the World Bank and the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization, the report blamed poor management, inefficiencies and overfishing for more than $2 trillion of avoidable economic losses over the last three decades. |
