DEECON - Unravelling population connectivity for sustainable fisheries in the Deep Sea (EuroDEEP)

Over-exploitation of traditional coastal stocks has resulted in the shift of commercial harvesting towards less-known, deep-sea living resources in many parts of the world. Most of these "new" fisheries are now proving to be unsustainable. A key to our ab ility to manage these fisheries and prote...
