A fishery is socially sustainable if the fishery ecosystem maintains the ability to deliver products the society can use. Major species shifts within the ecosystem could be acceptable as long as the flow of such products continues. [2] Humans have been operating such regimes for thousands of years, transforming many ecosystems, depleting or ...
Fisheries are managed by regulating the actions of people. [22] If fisheries management is to be successful, then associated human factors, such as the reactions of anglers and harvesters, are of key importance, and need to be understood. [23][24] Management regulations must also consider the implications for stakeholders.
The Blue Revolution refers to the significant growth and intensification of global aquaculture production—domestication and farming of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants —from the middle of the 20th century to the present, particularly in underdeveloped countries. [1] The peak and subsequent stagnation of capture fishery production in the ...
Climate change is modifying fish distributions [ 6] and the productivity of marine and freshwater species. Climate change is expected to lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products. [ 7] The geopolitical and economic consequences will be significant, especially for the countries most dependent on the sector.
Regenerative agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming systems. It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, [161] improving the water cycle, [162] enhancing ecosystem services, supporting biosequestration, increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of ...
Marine conservation, also known as ocean conservation, is the protection and preservation of ecosystems in oceans and seas through planned management in order to prevent the over-exploitation of these marine resources. Marine conservation is informed by the study of marine plants and animal resources and ecosystem functions and is driven by ...
v. t. e. Aquaculture (less commonly spelled aquiculture[1]), also known as aquafarming, is the controlled cultivation ("farming") of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks, algae and other organisms of value such as aquatic plants (e.g. lotus). Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater populations ...
Fish hatcheries are a popular remedy that are successful in the short term. However, they may just be masking a problem instead of getting to the root of it. [2] Other methods of conservation may include limiting or eliminating harvests of the run, protecting water quality or reducing water extraction for human consumption, and protecting the ...
