Question

You are the biological advisor to the CEO of a major US fishing fleet. Prepare a document to be sent to the CEO describing guidelines that are imperative to maintain sustainable fisheries. Make sure to address specific fish species that are currently at risk today.

Answer 1

Sustainable fishery is where fish populations doesn't fall and is harvested regularly.

It includes avoiding overfishing, reducing destructive and illegal fishing practices by creating appropriate law and rules, creating protected areas, educating stakeholders, recreating collapsed fisheries and public education programs.

Fish that occupy higher trophic levels are lesser sources of food energy, like salmon.

Most of the fisheries don't maintain proper data which is having bad impact on fishes life and population so its good maintenance is necessary.

Unreported fishing shouldn't be done.

Looting of seas is a bad practice and should be informed if any found accused.
