Abstract
Sustainable fisheries management aims to protect fishery resources to ensure the long-term viability of fish stocks and marine ecosystems. It combines theoretical disciplines, like population dynamics, with practical strategies, like avoiding overfishing and curbing illegal fishing practices. Correct taxonomy and systematics tools permit the classification of practically all fish species. This capacity is of particular value for fisheries management biological and ecological research as well as to issues related to fisheries products for human consumption. However, its usefulness is hindered by the lack of expertise in this area and the decrease in the number of taxonomists. Specimens have to be identified at species level using standard morphometric and meristic procedures applied by taxonomists. With sustainability being the critical issue of the hour, developing a younger breed of qualified taxonomists in the different marine realm is of outmost importance. It is physically difficult to identify and collect data on every organism in an ecosystem; therefore, taxonomic studies focus exclusively on specific taxonomic groups, which highlights their significance. The application of contemporary techniques will enhance our understanding of evolutionary linkages. This can entail educating a new generation of specialists on the systematics of the relevant group or persuading more experienced experts to write assessments of the group. The credibility of species occurrence records from current databases and literature needs to be thoroughly evaluated.
