Fisheries Assessment

Fisheries assessment is the process of evaluating fish populations and their environments to understand their health and sustainability. This involves gathering data on fish species, their numbers, habitats, and fishing practices. The goal is to ensure that fish stocks are not overfished and that ecosystems remain balanced. By analyzing this information, scientists and managers can make informed decisions about fishing quotas, conservation measures, and habitat protection, promoting the long-term viability of fish resources and the communities that depend on them.
