Abstract

Overfishing, unscientific commercial exploitation, and destruction of habitats caused by nature and alao Induced by man have been, of late, causing serious threat to the marine fish germplasm resources. Judicious exploitation, protection for Improvement and conservation are, thus, required for keeping the natural resources truely renewable- Conservation approaches are in situ, ex situ, entire biomass or flexible mix with the responsibilities required to be equally shared by the professional personnel, policy makers and the people themselves Top priority may be given for conservation of endangered species for maintaining genetic variability to maximize probability of their long term survival.
