 Population dynamics of fisheries

Population dynamics of fisheries refers to the study of the changes in fish populations over time, influenced by various biological, ecological, and anthropogenic factors. This field incorporates principles from ecology, statistics, and management to understand how populations of fish species grow, interact, and respond to fishing pressures and environmental changes. Key components of fish population dynamics include: 1. **Reproduction and Growth**: Understanding how fish reproduce (e.g., spawning habits, fecundity) and their growth rates is essential.
