fishery biology

Fishery biology is the study of fish populations, their behaviors, and their habitats, with the goal of managing and conserving aquatic resources. It involves understanding how fish grow, reproduce, and interact within ecosystems, as well as how fishing activities impact these populations. Fishery biologists analyze data to ensure sustainable fishing practices, support healthy fish stocks, and protect aquatic environments. This field combines biology, ecology, and management strategies to balance human needs with the health of fish populations and their habitats.
