Fish species health assessment

Fish species health assessment evaluates the well-being of fish populations by examining indicators like population size, reproductive success, genetic diversity, and physical condition. This process involves collecting data from surveys, observing behaviors, and testing for pollutants or diseases. The goal is to determine if fish populations are stable, declining, or at risk, helping to inform conservation efforts and sustainable management. It provides a comprehensive picture of the species' overall health, ensuring ecosystems remain balanced and resilient for future generations.
