Adaptive management, which allows for flexible responses to new information and changing ecosystems, is a key focus.

The book delves into the ecological context of fisheries, methods for assessing fish stocks, and the practical implementation of sustainable management. Readers will discover the importance of integrating scientific data with management strategies that consider biological, economic, and social factors. For example, understanding maximum sustainable yield is crucial for setting appropriate catch limits.

It progresses from fundamental concepts to detailed analyses of management strategies like marine protected areas, culminating in case studies of global fisheries.
