Sustainability comparisons in the triple bottom line for Chinese fisheries
EfD Authors:
This paper uses Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) to compare nine Chinese fisheries in terms of their triple bottom line (ecological, economic, and community sustainability) with the top 10% performing fisheries within the global FPIs database. The results show the largest differences between the Chinese fisheries and top-performing fisheries globally are in ecological sustainability followed by harvest sector performance and economic performance. The gaps in community sustainability and post-harvest performance are smaller.
