Abstracts. The multiple factors contributing to the crisis which besets global marine fisheries since the mid-1990s are presented, along with key trends illustrating manifestations of that crisis, i.e., (i) a declining world catch, (ii) increasing global fishing effort, fueled by government subsidies, (iii) declining catch per effort and profitability, (iv) a three-way global expansion of fishing (geographic, bathymetric, taxonomic) and (v) massive changes in the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems. Fisheries scientists, economists and serious policy-makers collectively know what is required to turn these trends around and to rebuild fish stocks and the fisheries, but they will be increasingly challenged by the effects of global warming, i.e., a "tropicalization" (in temperate areas) of the resource base, combined with the extinction of endemic species in polar seas and the decline of tropical fisheries, the latter likely with huge repercussions on the food security of tropical developing countries.
