Natural Resources: Fisheries

Fishery resources can comprise a plethora of biological, chemical and physical attributes that can be further differentiated by quality, quantity and relational attributes. Fishery resources that comprise biological attributes may be noted as fish, plankton and mammal species. The chemical ones can be such as oxygen concentration and saline whereas the physical ones can be such as oil and gas reserve, sediment type and current space. Thus, this was just to give a brief introduction about the fishery resources, as we move forward, we shall focus in detail on the fishery resources, relational attributes and quantity and quality. 

Fishery Resources

One may describe fishery resources as stocks of target species as well as their environment. Fishery resources consist of a plethora of biological such as fish, mammal species and plankton, chemicals such as oxygen concentration and salinity as well as physical such as gas and oil reserve, space, currents and sediment type. The attributes can further also be different based on relational attributes, quantity and quality. To understand this, one may focus on the example of a particular fish species that can be defined by stocks, and structure in terms of sex, age and size. Further, the understanding of this species can be based on the biomass, scale and geographic location, population, and disease dynamics which may also include the growth rate, migration, fecundity, recruitment, life cycle and natural mortality. The other points can include gene pool, diet, requirements in terms of the habitat, the co-existence along with different species and so on. 

Several similar attributes might be used for the description of the different stages of life, individual fish or cohorts. Thus, one can try expanding the list with the huge number of species of shellfish and finfish that the fishermen have landed and thereby one can better understand the attributes’ scope that is linked to fishery resources. Thus, with the help of above points the concept of fishery resources can be understood easily. 

It may also be noted that the increased price of defining fishery resources for the rights related to property can be compounded through the relational attributes which can come up as spillovers in many ways such as gear conflicts, habitat disturbance, predation and bycatch. Gear conflicts might be resulting from competition for the space attribute with regards to the fish resources that are non-exclusive. In particular, the fixed-gear, for example, pots, longlines and gillnets are susceptible to dredge gear as well as the mobile trawl. 

Thus, with this one can gain a better understanding of the fishery resources, relational attributes, quantity and quality. 

Conclusion 

As observed from the above discussion, one may say that various significant topics have been covered clearly and comprehensively. These topics can include fishery resources, relational attributes, quantity and quality. Fishery resources may be understood as comprising a plethora of biological, chemical and physical attributes that can be further differentiated by quality, quantity and relational attributes. Fish resources play an important role in various ways such as providing the human food supply as well as for the aquatic ecosystem. One may define fishery resources as any fish, stock, the habit of fish, fishery, species or any part of them. Thus, with this again the importance of fishery resources can be understood. Thus, it can be concluded that in the above sections various significant topics have been discussed in an easy way such as fishery resources, relational attributes and quantity and quality.
