Seafood production and trade have expanded dramatically over the last 40 years and comprise one of the fastest growing, and most environmentally impactful, sub-sectors of the global food system. While richer nations have increased their seafood consumption and displaced their environmental load, the marine environmental impact of fishery production has largely shifted to the waters of less-affluent nations. To sustain fishing economies and seafood security, in an era of increasing marine ecological precarity constitutes a major challenge for development and human well-being in the 21st century. Blue growth perspectives emphasize the transformative power of growth-oriented development. Such perspectives conflict with critical political economic theories of environment and food systems; notably, the treadmill of production and world food system scholarship. Using annual data from the Global Footprint Network, World Bank, UN FAO, and International Monetary Fund, this study applies methods in cross-national, panel regression analysis in order to ultimately pose some important challenges to modernist blue growth perspectives. The analysis suggests that economic growth and incorporation into the world market economy have led to unsustainable and inequitable outcomes regarding the marine ecological impact of fisheries.

现代化、政治经济学和蓝色增长的限制：跨国面板回归研究（1975-2016）*

海产品生产和贸易在过去 40 年中急剧扩大，是全球食品系统中增长最快、对环境影响最大的子行业之一。虽然较富裕的国家增加了海产品消费并减轻了环境负担，但渔业生产对海洋环境的影响已在很大程度上转移到了较不富裕国家的水域。在海洋生态日益不稳定的时代，为了维持渔业经济和海产品安全，是 21 世纪发展和人类福祉面临的重大挑战。蓝色增长观点强调以增长为导向的发展的变革力量。这种观点与环境和粮食系统的关键政治经济学理论相冲突；尤其，生产和世界粮食系统奖学金的跑步机。本研究使用来自全球足迹网络、世界银行、联合国粮农组织和国际货币基金组织的年度数据，将方法应用于跨国面板回归分析，以最终对现代蓝色增长观点提出一些重要挑战。分析表明，经济增长和融入世界市场经济导致渔业对海洋生态影响的不可持续和不公平的结果。
