Sustainable fisheries entails managing fishery to promote resources and economic development.

The results indicated that sustainable fisheries management has been conducted in Europe, South, and North America, followed by Africa and Asia, using mostly quantitative methods of statistical tools, spatial distribution and evaluation of catch and effort, and qualitative and mixed methods. The studies are mostly in trawl fisheries, bottom longline fisheries, and purse seine fisheries, with few studies on small-scale fisheries and tuna fisheries.

Abstract

Sustainable fisheries entails managing fishery to promote resources and economic development. Worldwide capture fisheries have fallen dramatically in recent years, and some of the fisheries have collapsed due to improper management, overfishing, overexploitation, and climate stressors. Sustainable fisheries management crucially needs to be evaluated on the behavior of fishing fleets and management regimes in specific fisheries. The study pinpointed and highlighted fisheries management practices in global marine fisheries and findings and suggestions by previous studies for sustainable fisheries by reviewing 167 articles from the Web of Science (WoS) database. The results indicated that sustainable fisheries management has been conducted in Europe, South, and North America, followed by Africa and Asia, using mostly quantitative methods of statistical tools, spatial distribution and evaluation of catch and effort, and qualitative and mixed methods. The studies are mostly in trawl fisheries, bottom longline fisheries, and purse seine fisheries, with few studies on small-scale fisheries and tuna fisheries. The management in many fisheries was entangled with resource depletion and economic downturns in the industry, and studies suggested that sustainable fisheries could be achieved with the proper sustainable fisheries management practices in specific areas, and trawl fisheries required greater concerns.
