| In April l999 an article appeared in Fishing News under the headline ‘Dredging and pollution hit stocks far more than fishing’. The article reported on claims made by an environmental group that these two anthropogenic impacts are causing a far greater decline of fish stocks in the North Sea than ‘supposed overfishing’ and that if these were remedied ‘you would be able to walk to Europe on the fish concentrated in the North Sea’. Whilst there is no clear evidence to support these claims, the article does raise a real issue of concern to EU policy makers, the general public, and the fishing community as a whole. This is the impact of pollution on commercial fish and fisheries and the health implications of eating contaminated fish products.
This book has resulted from the Commission of the European Communities, Agriculture and Fisheries (FAIR) specific Research and Technological Development programme, CT97 3827, Impacts of Marine Xenobiotics on European Commercial Fish – Molecular Effects & Population Responses. However, it does not necessarily reflect the Commission’s views and in no way anticipates the Commission’s future policy in this area.
This book has brought together experts from across Europe to examine the literature both on marine and freshwater fish and, where necessary, invertebrates and other model organisms, to produce a status report on pollution impacts and to construct a conceptual model to describe these impacts – from the subcellular and molecular level, through organism to population and community levels and subsequently to socio-economic implications. |
