Fisheries management is mainly concerned with protecting and managing fishery resources to maintain a balance between exploitation and replenishment. This subject heavily draws upon fisheries science which is a multidisciplinary field that combines oceanography, freshwater biology, conservation, population dynamics, management and economics to present a coherent status of fisheries. This book attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into the field of fisheries management and conservation. It attempts to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this discipline. It will prove to be an asset to agriculturists, oceanographers, marine biologists, professionals, researchers and students associated with the field of fisheries at various levels.
