article from oceanographic institute
I see 'effort' frequently in 'official' websites about over-fishing but honestly find it very odd. Can you suggest something better or should I go with literal?
XX s’interrogeait déjà sur les effets du développement rapide de la pêche industrielle et les dangers d’un déséquilibre possible entre effort de pêche et ressource halieutique. Il soulignait la nécessité d’une régulation forte de ce secteur et envisageait en particulier déjà tout l’intérêt des aires marines protégées, dispositif qui a bien tardé à être mis en place

fishing effort
It sounds like a mistranslation from French, but it's a widely used term that gets over half a million Google hits.
"The fishing effort is a measure of the amount of fishing. Frequently some surrogate is used relating to a given combination of inputs into the fishing activity, such as the number of hours or days spent fishing, numbers of hooks used (in long- line fishing), kilometres of nets used, etc."

Of course, "déséquilibre entre effort de pêche et ressource halieutique" is simply a very roundabout way of saying "overfishing".
