Fisheries research is a branch of marine science that focuses on studying the ecology, population dynamics, behavior, and management of fish species and aquatic ecosystems. This research area aims to understand and quantify the impact of human activities on fish populations, as well as develop sustainable fishing practices and conservation strategies to ensure the long-term health and viability of fish stocks. Fisheries research may involve fieldwork, data analysis, modeling, and policy development to address issues such as overfishing, bycatch, habitat destruction, and climate change. This research is critical for informing fisheries management decisions and policies to promote the sustainable use of marine resources.
