Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) Concept and Its Application to Regional MarineResource Management. Conference Summary and Recommendations. Held in Monaco on October 1-6, 1990

摘要

The overall objective of the Conference was to introduce the 'large marineecosystem (LME) research and management approach' to a broadly representative group of scientists, managers, and administrators concerned with the sustainable use of marine resources. With regard to the application of the LME approach to principal driving forces affecting resource yields, the Conference was fortunate to have had expert and comprehensive presentations on several important LMEs of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans including the: Adriatic Sea Ecosystem. In addition, comparative analyses on the effects of basinwide physical and biological parameters influencing biomass yields were presented on the Barents Sea, Norwegian Sea, and West Greenland Sea Ecosystems.
