    Abstract

    Fish populations are an integral part of marine ecosystems. Historically, fish population dynamics have been studied as single species, for example as mackerel, shrimp or sardine, and almost always in isolation from the system in which they exist. In recent years, however, there has been growing awareness that traditional approaches to managing fisheries are incomplete and partially unsuccessful. Sustainable use of living marine resources must consider both the impacts of the ecosystem on the living marine resources, and the impacts of fishery on the ecosystem. This holistic approach to fisheries management has been termed as ‘ecosystem based fisheries management’. The Principles of Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management are: 1. Maintaining the natural structure and function of ecosystems, including the biodiversity and productivity of natural systems and identified important species, is the focus for management. 2. Human use and values of ecosystems are central to establishing objectives for use and management of natural resources. 3. Ecosystems are dynamic; their attributes and boundaries are constantly changing and consequently, interactions with human uses also are dynamic. 4. Natural resources are best managed within a management system that is based on a shared vision and a set of objectives developed amongst stakeholders. 5. Successful management is adaptive and based on scientific knowledge, continual learning and embedded monitoring processes.
