Overview

Environmental aspects of fisheries concern the relationships between fishing activities and the natural environment, including how harvesting fish and other aquatic organisms affects marine and freshwater ecosystems and how environmental conditions in turn shape fisheries. Fishing can influence target and non-target species, food webs, habitats such as the seafloor, water quality, and the overall health and resilience of aquatic systems, with effects that may be negative, such as overfishing, bycatch, and habitat damage, or positive when activities are well managed. Understanding these interactions is central to fisheries management, which aims to ensure the sustainable use of aquatic resources by balancing harvest with conservation and accounting for ecological dynamics. Issues such as the status of fish populations, the impact of human-induced pressures, and the influence of environmental change are key considerations. Within the scope of this marine science journal, research relevant to this topic includes work on adopting a wider, ecosystem-oriented approach to fisheries management, analysis of factors adversely affecting Atlantic salmon populations using the River Dee in Scotland as an example, and examination of the adverse effects of underwater sound on fishes and invertebrates. Together these studies reflect the field's attention to the environmental dimensions of fisheries. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the environmental aspects of fisheries.
