Infinity Fish is an educational resource centered on Dr. Rashid Sumaila’s book, Infinity Fish: Economics and the Future of Fish and Fisheries. It explores the economic and ecological case for restoring marine ecosystems and managing fisheries sustainably, with a focus on valuing the benefits of healthy oceans and understanding the costs and benefits of fishery management. The book combines case studies, practical applications of cost-benefit concepts, detailed topic summaries, and statistical models to support informed decision-making.

Written for a broad audience, the resource is relevant to fisheries and marine-resource managers, scientists, researchers, economists, fish farmers, policymakers, regulators, operations researchers, faculty, and students. Its accompanying website provides an overview, chapter abstracts, author information, and videos, including a virtual book launch and a discussion of fisheries, climate implications, and natural-resource valuation. Visitors can also find purchasing information for the paperback, published by Academic Press. The site presents Sumaila’s expertise in fisheries economics and marine ecosystem valuation, connecting research and practical guidance for people working toward the long-term preservation of marine resources.
