Fishery

A fishery is an area where fish and other aquatic life are caught for commercial, recreational, or subsistence purposes. It involves managing the populations of fish to ensure sustainable harvests while protecting the aquatic environment. Fisheries can be found in oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers, often regulated by laws and policies to prevent overfishing, which can deplete fish stocks. Effective fishery management balances human needs with ecological health, ensuring that aquatic resources remain available for future generations while supporting local economies and communities.
