Marine Fisheries

Introduction

Around half of the world’s fish species are found in the marine environment, and those that are edible have long provided an important food resource for humans and other animals. Fishing is now a huge commercial operation and marine fisheries have grown in size and sophistication in the last 50 years. Fish are caught in nets or on lines, sorted on board a fishing vessel, and then brought back to shore.

Although the oceans are vast, their fish stocks are not limitless. Many marine fisheries are now taking fish faster than stocks can renew themselves. This means that some fishes, such as the Atlantic cod, are now regarded as endangered species and several marine ecosystems are under threat.
