To fish the oceans sustainably, nations must reduce bycatch, or accidental catches. But fishermen often resist changing gear or techniques that kill nontargeted species.

As nations pledge to preserve swaths of ocean within their territorial waters, a marine scientist explains why some marine protected areas shelter ocean life more effectively than others.

One of the oldest industries, fishing, is entering the world of advanced analytics and data-driven planning. With oceans under stress and key fish stocks dwindling, can precision fishing help?

In a blind taste test, Danes preferred farmed salmon to wild. But when they learned where the fish came from, they totally changed their minds.

Ecolabelled seafood fetches higher prices in supermarkets, giving retailers and producers the incentive to up their sustainability game.

As the ocean warms, oxygen concentrations go down. Fish are already moving into shallower waters, new research indicates.

The symbolic importance of fishing has politicised a rather technical dispute about licensing requirements.
