Physiological zoology and fisheries

Abstract

Speaking in general terms, the main objective of fishery biology is to increase the available fishery resources by the exploration of new fields and facts concerning the organisms that comprise the fisheries. Their periodical abundance or scarcity, habits, movements and life histories, if fully known, would help us to take full advantage of what already exists in Nature, and to work out measures to prevent their depletion or even total extermination by indiscriminate fishing.
