Freshwater and Marine Fisheries

Freshwater fisheries refer to the harvesting of fish and aquatic species from inland water bodies like lakes, rivers, and ponds. Marine fisheries involve catching fish and other seafood from the oceans and seas. Both sectors provide essential food sources, support economies, and sustain communities. Freshwater fisheries typically focus on species like trout, bass, and carp, while marine fisheries target popular species such as tuna, cod, and sardines. Proper management is crucial to ensure sustainable harvests, protect ecosystems, and maintain biodiversity in both freshwater and marine environments.
