Fisheries

Fisheries refer to the industry and practice of catching, processing, and selling fish and other aquatic organisms. They can be classified into two main types: wild fisheries, where fish are caught in natural waters, and aquaculture, where fish are farmed in controlled environments. Fisheries are vital for food security, providing livelihoods for millions and contributing to global economies. Sustainable fisheries focus on maintaining fish populations and ecosystem health, ensuring that fish stocks remain viable for future generations while also balancing human needs. This involves regulations, practices, and monitoring to prevent overfishing and environmental degradation.
