Fisheries Environmental Uses

Fishes play a very important role within the balance of life on which we rely. Fish are essential to life within the world’s oceans. They’re the predators or prey of virtually every creature that swims with them or flies above the ocean. Fishery is an entity engaged in raising or harvesting fish which is decided by some authority to be a fishery.

They modify age and size structure, sex ratio, genetics and species composition of the target resources, likewise as of their associated and dependent species.When poorly controlled, fisheries develop excessive fishing capacity, resulting in overfishing, with major ecosystem, social and economic consequences. Fishing may affect ecological processes at very large scale. The general impact has been described as comparable, in aquatic systems, to it of agriculture onto land in terms of the proportion of the system's primary productivity harvested by Overfishing transforms an originally stable, mature and efficient ecosystem into one that's immature and stressed. By targeting and reducing the abundance of high-value predators, fisheries deeply modify the trophic chain and also the flows of biomass (and energy) across the ecosystem (e.g. They’ll also alter habitats, most notably by destroying and disturbing bottom topography and also the associated habitats (e.g.seagrass and algal beds, coral reefs) and benthic communities.
