Abstract

‘Fisheries’ in the broad sense refers to an activity leading to the harvest of fish, mostly from the capture of wild fish but may also include steady harvest of a fish species from aquaculture systems. The study of ‘Fisheries” essentially includes a comprehensive dissection of the human, biological and ecological components of a fish harvest system. The key participants of a fishery are the fish and their associated network partners within the trophic web of the ecosystem they inhabit, and the human stakeholder groups including the fishers, traders, processors, exporters, consumers, researchers, policymakers and managers. Fisheries science is a study of fisheries through a mathematical and statistical approach, the results of which are used for stock status assessments that ultimately direct Fisheries Management.
