Fisheries Management

• A fishery can refer to an occupation, industry, or even
a season for catching fish, or where fish are caught.
• Commercial – catching and marketing fish and shellfish for

profit.

• Recreational – fishing for sport or pleasure.

• Subsistence – fishing for personal, family, and community
consumption or sharing.

NOAA (2020)

Fisheries Management

• We manage U.S. fisheries to:
• Sustain, protect, and increase domestic seafood supply.

• Maintain and enhance recreational and subsistence
fishing opportunities.

• Protect ecosystem health and sustainability.

• Create jobs, support related economic and social
benefits, and sustain community resilience.

*Like wildlife management, we need to make sure that fish populations stay
above a certain level and keep harvest rates at a level that allows the fish to

produce maximum sustainable yield.

NOAA (2020)

Fisheries Management
• Habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation are

some of the primary factors in the decline of both
native and non-native species. Various sources of
pollution are also worsening water quality and
habitat.

Excel

• Draw conclusions!

Parameters of
Interest
• Water Temperature

• Secchi Depth

• pH

• Salinity

• Shannon-Wiener Diversity
Index

Species Diversity
• Variation of species in a particular region

• Richness – Total number of individuals

• Evenness – number of different species

• Dominance – Most abundance species present

Species Diversity

• Shannon Diversity Index
(H) is an index used to
characterize species
diversity in a community.

• It accounts for both
abundance and evenness
of the species present.

M. Beals, L. Gross, & S. Harrell (2000)

Higher values of “H”
represent more diverse

communities

Species Diversity

H2 = 0.56

H1 = 1.36

Higher values of “H”
represent more diverse

communities
