The conversion of tropical forests to crop and pastureland has long been a concern for scientists, as forest loss can lead to decreased rainfall, increased droughts, and degraded freshwater ecosystems. A new study points to another unexpected consequence: changes in fish production. The study, published online in the journal Fish and Fisheries, explores how deforestation along the Amazon River floodplain affects fisheries' yields. The study has direct implications for the management and conservation of the Amazon. Around one-third of the global wild-caught fish yield comes from the tropics. Inland fisheries are vital to that food production. The quality of the area of land adjacent to a river, referred to as a floodplain, can play a large part in fisheries production.
