Abstract

ABSTRACT With declining global fish stocks, there is a growing literature on the negative impact of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. While undoubtedly damaging, there is increasing analysis on the wider impact of IUU fishing, without sufficient evidence to support causal claims. This is particularly evident in the links between IUU fishing and piracy. IUU fishing was blamed for the surge of piracy in the Gulf of Aden in in the late 1990s/ early 2000s and is more recently presented as a driver for piracy in the Gulf of Guinea. In reviewing available evidence, this article finds that while there is a correlation between IUU fishing and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, in that they both occur in the same areas, current evidence does not support a causal link between the two.

非法、无管制和无管制捕鱼造成的海盗行为：质疑因果关系

摘要随着全球鱼类种群的减少，关于非法、未报告和无管制捕鱼的负面影响的文献越来越多。尽管毫无疑问具有破坏性，但对非法、无管制和无管制捕鱼的更广泛影响的分析越来越多，没有足够的证据支持因果关系。这一点在非法、无管制和无管制捕鱼与海盗行为之间的联系中尤为明显。20世纪90年代末/21世纪初，非法、无管制和未报告的捕捞活动被认为是亚丁湾海盗活动激增的原因，最近又被认为是几内亚湾海盗活动的驱动因素。在审查现有证据时，本文发现，尽管几内亚湾非法、无管制和无管制捕鱼与海盗行为之间存在相关性，因为它们都发生在同一地区，但目前的证据不支持两者之间的因果关系。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
