Fisheries research agencies

Fisheries research agencies are organizations that study marine and freshwater fish populations, ecosystems, and fishing practices. Their goal is to understand fish behavior, habitats, and environmental impacts to support sustainable fishing practices. They gather scientific data to help set fishing limits, protect endangered species, and ensure healthy aquatic environments. These agencies often collaborate with governments, scientists, and communities to develop policies that balance fishing industry needs with conservation efforts, ensuring fish populations are preserved for future generations.
