There was this paper (not by ALLFED) saying fish catch would generally be lower in nuclear winter. However, the model does not take into account the fact that as medium and large fish are removed, there would be more small fish that people could catch (what I call, “fishing lower on the food chain”). We want to model this and the feasibility of converting fishing boats to catch the smaller fish.
Interesting. I was particularly curious about why you think the ocean fertilization effect will not be as strong as you had originally estimated, if you have readings to recommend there too.
I was too optimistic in the book Feeding Everyone No Matter What assuming that the fish production globally could be similar to that of current coastal upwelling areas. However, we did find that seaweed grows better in nuclear winter than in normal times.
