All the Fish in the Sea: Maximum Sustainable Yield and the Failure of Fisheries Management is a 2011 book by Carmel Finley.

The book argues that the policies for international fishing and whaling management were essentially locked in place by 1958, and that the United States played a large role in setting them.

In the development of the international law covering fisheries, the US supported laws that would protect the US tuna and salmon fisheries while limiting the ability of other nations, and Japan in particular, to fish in US waters.

The book thus ties fisheries management inseparably with Cold War politics.

Finley argues that to achieve a sustainable future for fisheries, "we need to change the focus of management from estimating harvest to maintaining the population structure of fish stocks and their ecosystems.
