fishery resources

Fishery resources refer to the various aquatic populations, such as fish, shellfish, and other marine organisms, that are harvested for human use. These resources are vital for food security, livelihoods, and economic development. Fishery resources include wild stocks in oceans, rivers, and lakes, as well as farmed species in aquaculture. Managing these resources sustainably ensures their availability for future generations, preventing overfishing, habitat destruction, and loss of biodiversity. Proper management involves regulating fishing activities, protecting habitats, and implementing conservation measures to balance human needs with environmental health.
