Evaluation of Fish Stocks and Sustainable Management of Inland Fish Populations

Abstract

Inland fisheries (IF) may exhibit diversity, locality, and significant seasonality. This intricacy poses issues for monitoring, resulting in many IF species having little data and being inapplicable to assessment methodologies often used for commercial sea fisheries. Moreover, human influences on ecosystems, the pervasive presence of indigenous species, and the frequent implementation of improvement and rehabilitation strategies, such as stocking, influence stock patterns. This study evaluates Fish Stocks and Sustainable Management of Inland Fish Populations (EFS&SM-IFP). This document delineates diverse stock evaluation and data-gathering methodologies that may be tailored to a broad spectrum of IF and administration issues. This study delineates issues in evaluation while emphasizing realistic, flexible, and transferable solutions.
