The progresses in fishery sciences and fisheries in South Africa and overseas

Abstract

In South Africa and overseas, the progresses in fishery sciences and fisheries are known. However, these progresses are advancements often seen at a broader scale in scientific literature. Fishery science is a wide field of study encompassing water-dwelling, or water living, mammals, fish and other fish-like creatures. Although many study fishery sciences, or an allied discipline in biology, the ideas on these organisms and crustaceans, gained from fisheries, are different. It is imperative to compare these findings with scientific discoveries in order to validate these progresses. The present and future finds in fishery sciences and fisheries would form the skeleton of this paper, with example of water-living organisms, such as teleosts, octopus and crabs, forming the key part of the discussion.
