Sea cucumbers in a pickle: the economic geography of the serial exploitation of sea cucumbers

Serial exploitation comprises a pattern of the human exploitation of wild harvest fisheries, where previously untapped species or locations come under exploitation over both space and time. Unless managed sustainably, serial exploitation can lead to serial depletion of local fisheries, thereby adver...
