  abstract = {{P}rimary production must constrain the amount of fish and invertebrates available to expanding fisheries; however the degree of limitation has only been demonstrated at regional scales to date. {H}ere we show that phytoplanktonic primary production, estimated from an ocean-colour satellite ({S}ea{W}i{FS}), is related to global fisheries catches at the scale of {L}arge {M}arine {E}cosystems, while accounting for temperature and ecological factors such as ecosystem size and type, species richness, animal body size, and the degree and nature of fisheries exploitation. {I}ndeed we show that global fisheries catches since 1950 have been increasingly constrained by the amount of primary production. {T}he primary production appropriated by current global fisheries is 17-112% higher than that appropriated by sustainable fisheries. {G}lobal primary production appears to be declining, in some part due to climate variability and change, with consequences for the near future fisheries catches.},
