Sustainability of Fished Populations Challenges, Strategies and Future Directions: A Review

This review paper summarizes recent research on global fisheries, highlighting ecological, economic and social obstacles. Ecologically, overfishing, habitat degradation and climate change threaten the health of marine ecosystems, necessitating ecosystem-based management approaches and conservation measures. Economically, declining fish stocks and market dynamics pose challenges to the livelihoods of fishing communities, highlighting the importance of sustainable fishing practices and alternative earning options. Strategies such as ecosystem-based management, science-based decision-making and innovative technologies are identified as crucial for achieving sustainability. Effective fisheries management also requires legislative actions targeted at stopping illegal fishing and fostering global collaboration. The assessment recommends cooperative efforts in the future between communities, governments and stakeholders to maintain the long-term viability of fishing populations through the application of adaptive management techniques. By adopting these strategies and establishing resilience, it is aimed to preserve marine biodiversity, secure food sources and support the well-being of present and future generations.
