Aquaculture and Fisheries Management

Aquaculture refers to the farming of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants in controlled environments, such as ponds or tanks, to produce food and other products. Fisheries management involves the sustainable harvesting of wild fish populations, ensuring that fish stocks remain healthy and ecosystems balanced. This includes regulating fishing practices, monitoring fish populations, and protecting habitats to prevent overfishing and support biodiversity. Together, aquaculture and fisheries management aim to meet human demand for seafood while preserving aquatic ecosystems for future generations.
