Abstract

This abstract provides an overview of the recent advances in fishery biology and management, highlighting their significance for sustainable fisheries, marine conservation, and the future of seafood production. Advances in genomics have revolutionized our understanding of fish population dynamics and genetic diversity, enabling more accurate assessments of fish stocks and tailored management strategies. Ecosystem-based management approaches have shifted fisheries management paradigms towards holistic, ecosystem-wide perspectives, promoting resilience and sustainability. Technological innovations in fisheries monitoring and control, including remote sensing and electronic monitoring systems, enhance transparency and compliance with regulations. Community-based and co-management approaches empower local communities and stakeholders, fostering sustainable resource management practices. Despite these advancements, challenges such as overfishing, habitat degradation, and climate change persist, necessitating continued research, international cooperation, and adaptive management strategies. Looking ahead, integrating climate change adaptation measures and promoting social equity in decision-making processes will be key priorities for advancing sustainable fisheries management and marine conservation efforts.
