• "Trade matters in the fight against poverty": narratives, perceptions, and (lack of) evidence in the case of fish trade in Africa. (2010, background): “They further argue that fishing agreements signed between high income countries (importers) and developing nations (exporters) usually take advantage of the developing states without providing fair returns (Alder & Sumaila, 2004; Kaczynski & Fluharty, 2002; UNEP, 2002).”
• Sourcing seafood for the three major markets: The EU, Japan and the USA (2010, background): “, [30,15]), particularly off the West African coast, where the EU has entered into fishing access arrangements with multiple countries in the region.”
• Interactions between aquaculture and fisheries (2013, background): “The fate of local economies in coastal areas relying on fisheries as primary source of food and income is affected not only by shifting patterns of global fisheries [9] and allocation of fishing rights but also by an increasing share of farmed fish in international trade.”
• Vulnerability of national economies to the impacts of climate change on fisheries (2009, background): “Third, the net contribution of trade to adaptive capacity is worth considering further as fish trade flows from less developed countries to developed countries (Alder and Sumaila 2004).”
• Fishing for Aquaculture: Non-Food Use of Small Pelagic Forage Fish—A Global Perspective (2009, background): “Global trends in over-fishing have been fueled to a large extent by market demands within economically developed countries for the consumption and importation of high market value carnivorous finfish and crustacean species (Alder and Sumaila, 2005; Montaigne, 2007; Rosenthal, 2008), with developed c”
• Responsible Aquaculture and Trophic Level Implications to Global Fish Supply (2009, background): “In fact, it is widely believed that over-fishing and the increasing culture of high trophic level species has been fueled to a large extent by the market demands within developed countries for the consumption and importation of higher market value high trophic level piscivorous/carnivorous finfish a”
• Forage Fish: From Ecosystems to Markets (2008, background): “protein (or for cheap protein) is not met domestically, such as in West Africa, the Caribbean, Oceania, and Latin America, imports of small pelagics, such as herrings, sardines, and mackerel, are often used to meet that demand (31, 32).”
• A bottom-up re-estimation of global fisheries subsidies (2010, background): “Other concerns have been socio-economic regarding rural development, coastal employment and food security issues (Fluharty and Kaczynski, 2002; Sumaila, 2003; Alder and Sumaila, 2004).”
