Archaeofaunal remains from the central Georgia Bight (USA) are used in a case study for assessing coastal fisheries between 2760 BCE and 1500 CE, particularly from the perspective of sustainability. The longevity of this fishery is evaluated in terms of taxonomic attributions, richness, ubiquity, diversity, and mean trophic level (TL) of fish individuals (MNI) in assemblages from 22 coastal archaeological sites. The average pre-1500 TL (TL = 3.1) is below that of fish populations in a mid-twentieth-century ecological study (TL = 3.3). Although broad features of the regional fishery were sustained for millennia, practices at specific locations were influenced by environmental and cultural phenomena.

案例研究使用了来自美国乔治亚州中部的古船遗址，以评估公元前2760年至公元1500年之间的沿海渔业，特别是从可持续性的角度。根据分类属性，丰富性，普遍性，多样性以及来自22个沿海考古点的鱼类个体（MNI）的平均营养水平（TL）评估该渔业的寿命。在20世纪中叶的生态研究中，平均1500年前的TL（TL = 3.1）低于鱼类种群的平均值（TL = 3.3）。尽管该区域渔业的广泛特征持续了数千年，但特定地点的做法受到环境和文化现象的影响。
