Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The protection of fish stocks requires balanced management and sustainable administration of fishing activities in which the fish resource is the main element, given that these activities have a social and economic character based on the stability of ownership of assets that contribute to the sector's development. Sustainable fishing practices, which include regulating fishing quotas, protecting breeding periods, and monitoring fish stocks, are essential for the long-term maintenance of aquatic resources. The functional elements of an ecosystem, be they species, processes, or structures, play crucial roles in maintaining its health and balance. Understanding the ecosystem role of each component is essential for protecting and conserving the natural environment.
This Special Issue will present the state of the art on Sustainable Fisheries Management and Ecological Protection. In this regard, the contributions of scientific research remedy certain issues that have arisen either from ignorance and, implicitly, from the failure to adopt certain measures or from the adoption of inadequate measures, with serious consequences for the future of living aquatic resources, such as the extinction of species, the depletion of stocks to the limit of biological self-sufficiency, and the end of fisheries, all of which have serious socio-economic consequences.
