Fishery Science

Fishery science is the study of aquatic resources, focusing on the health and management of fish populations and aquatic ecosystems. It involves understanding how fish grow, reproduce, and interact with their environment, as well as assessing how human activities like fishing and habitat modification impact these systems. The goal is to develop sustainable practices that allow people to harvest fish for food and recreation without depleting populations or damaging ecosystems. Fishery scientists use data, research, and modeling to inform policies, ensuring that fish populations remain healthy and productive for future generations.
