Lead section

The first sentence of the article briefly describes the topic of the article. "Much of the scientific community blames the mismanagement of fisheries for global collapses of fish populations". The content of the article is clear and detailed. Reference was made to traditional fisheries management techniques such as limitation of types of fishing gear, reduction of allowable catches and reduction of fishing effort. The article also mentions the impact of changing fishing gear on habitat destruction, and using different hook designs or bait types to reduce bycatch. The authors use data to draw readers' attention to fisheries issues, such as "the fact that approximately 27% of the world's fisheries were classified as collapsed in 2003, and 100% of the world's fisheries will be considered collapsed by 2048". Articles could discuss in more detail the environmental and ecological impacts of overfishing, and the economic and social impacts of fishery collapse.

Structure

The structure of the article is complete, the content is clear, and there are not many grammatical and spelling errors. An introduction is used to draw the reader's attention and interest to the topic. The advantages and disadvantages of traditional fishery management are mentioned, the reasons why the effectiveness of traditional fishery management is questioned are given, and their own views and factors to be considered are given. There are a few minor grammar mistakes can improve in the article. For example "One method to increase fish population numbers" could be "One method for increasing fish population numbers." "Whether or not traditional fisheries management techniques are effective" could be " Whether traditional fisheries management techniques are effective or not."

Neutrality

This article is neutral, focusing on traditional fisheries management techniques and discussing different perspectives on their effectiveness. The advantages and disadvantages of traditional fisheries management techniques are mentioned. The authors also express their views, such as suggesting reforms to the fishery to address problems associated with traditional fisheries management techniques.

Source

Articles use sources that are valid and from reputable scientific publications. The format of the citation is also correct.

Suggestions for improvement


 * The article mentions that different hook designs or bait types can be chosen to reduce the risk of fishing. The author can put photos of different hooks and baits in the article to let readers understand more intuitively what types of hooks and baits can reduce the risk of fishing.
 * Articles could also discuss the environmental and ecological impacts of overfishing and what a collapsed fishery would have on the economy and society.
 * The importance of international cooperation and national policies for fisheries management can also be discussed.
