Abstract

Fisheries forecasting is a vital component of modern fisheries management, offering insights into the dynamics of fish populations, environmental conditions, and fishing activities. This abstract provides an overview of the key concepts, methods, and applications of fisheries forecasting, highlighting its importance in promoting sustainable fishing practices and ecosystem conservation. The abstract begins by defining fisheries forecasting as the process of using scientific data, mathematical models, and statistical analyses to predict future trends in fish stocks and marine environments. It emphasizes the significance of accurate data collection, model development, predictive analytics, and scenario analysis in generating reliable forecasts. Next, the abstract explores the diverse applications of fisheries forecasting, including stock assessment, risk assessment, and resource management.
