Abstract

Fisheries have long been a vital source of food, income, and cultural identity for communities worldwide. However, the sustainability of these fisheries is increasingly threatened by a range of factors, including overfishing, habitat degradation, and climate change. In the quest to ensure the long-term health of our aquatic ecosystems and the communities that depend on them, genetic diversity plays a pivotal role. This article explores the intricate relationship between genetic diversity and fishery sustainability, shedding light on the implications for conservation and management.
