                                 FISHERY SCINCE
       A fishery is the combination of an aquatic resource with an organized harvest
system. For both parts to remain healthy and sustainable, we must pay careful atten-
tion to the status of the resource and the level of harvest. That kind of attention is
provided by fishery science. Fishery science is a multidisciplinary applied science
that draws information from a number of so-called “pure” sciences in order to apply
that knowledge to the solution of fishery problems. The most common fishery prob-
lem is that there aren’t enough fish for everybody. The disciplines that contribute to
fishery science include biological, physical, social, mathematical and technological
sciences. Fisheries is a very complex sphere and goes side by side with fields of
knowledge as food technology, biochemistry, biology, the law of the sea, world mar-
keting, aquaculture, resources management.

                              HISTORY OF FISHERIES

       The practice of fishing was developed long before the practice of keeping his-
torical records. We know that people around the world have engaged in fisheries for
food, trade, ornaments and riligous customs for many thousands of years. Even the
relatively sophisticated practice of aquaculture of freshwater fishes has been prac-
ticed in China for over 4000 years. Numerous examples of ancient art and the long
held customs of native peoples attest to the importance of fisheries to human cultures
over the ages. Many native peoples from both eastern and western cultures believe
that fishes and shellfishes have significance for beyond their ability to sustain human
life. When some of these people speak of fish, they sound more like they are speaking
of members of their own families than about things to prey upon.
       It is noteworthy that in Great Britain many of the earliest examples of regula-
tion of fishing effort dealt with recreational fisheries. Privilege and allocation of fish
stocks in the American Colonies were not pressing issues due to the abundance of
fishes that were initially present.
       At the turn of the 20th century, the industrialization of fisheries hastened with
the advent of steam-powered capture vessels. Purse seiners fished for menhaden off
the U.S. Atlantic coast, trawlers fished for mixed stocks in the North Sea, and lon-
gliners fished for halibut in the North Pacific. Later developments that also had con-
siderable industrial impact include the use of diesel-powered capture vessels with net
retrieval and refrigeration systems on vessels.
