Dr Pauly became a Professor at UBC's Fisheries Centre in 1994, after many years at the International Centre for Living Aquatic Resource Management (ICLARM), then in Manila, Philippines.

Dr. Pauly's scientific output, mainly dedicated to the management of fisheries, and to ecosystem modeling, comprises numerous contributions to peer-reviewed journals, authored and edited books, reports and popular articles (see below), and the concepts, methods and software he (co-) developed are in use throughout the world. This applies notably to the ecosystem modeling approach incorporated in the Ecopath software (www.ecopath.org ), to FishBase, the online encyclopedia of fishes (www.fishbase.org), and the global mapping of fisheries trends (www.seaaroundus.org).

In 2001, he was awarded the Murray Newman Award for Excellence in Marine Conservation Research, sponsored by the Vancouver Aquarium, and the Oscar E. Sette Award of the Marine Fisheries Section, American fisheries Society. He was named a 'Honorarprofessor 'at Kiel University, Germany in late 2002. In 2003, he was named one of UBC's Distinguished University Scholars and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (Academy of Science). In 2004, he received the Roger Revelle Medal from IOC/UNESCO, and the Award of Excellence of the American Fisheries Society. Profiles of D. Pauly were published in Science on April 19, 2002, Nature on Jan. 2, 2003, The New York Times on Jan. 21, 2003, and in other publications.

Publications

Dr. Pauly authored or co-authored over 500 scientific articles, book chapters and shorter contributions, and authored, or (co-) edited about 30 books and reports.

Two books "On the Sex of Fishes and the Gender of Scientist: a Collection of Essays in Fisheries Science" (Chapman and Hall, 1994) and "Méthodes pour l'évaluation des ressources halieutiques" (Cépaduès-Éditions, 1997) summarize much previous work, as do his articles "Fishing Down Marine Food Webs" (Science, February 6, 1998), and "Toward Sustainability in World Fisheries" (Nature, August 8, 2002). Two other books ("In a Perfect Ocean: fisheries and ecosystem in the North Atlantic". Island Press, 2003; and "Darwin's Fishes: an encyclopedia of ichthyology, ecology and evolution." Cambridge University Press, 2004) document his current interests.
