Fishery Resources
Fishery resources refer to the various species of fish and other aquatic organisms that are harvested for food, recreation, and economic purposes. These resources include not only fish but also shellfish, crustaceans, and other marine life found in oceans, rivers, and lakes. Sustainable management of these resources is essential to ensure their availability for future generations.
The health of fishery resources is influenced by factors such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change. Organizations like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) work to promote sustainable fishing practices and protect aquatic ecosystems. Effective management strategies help maintain biodiversity and support the livelihoods of communities that depend on fishing.
