What’s the study of fish called?

ichthyology, scientific study of fishes, including, as is usual with a science that is concerned with a large group of organisms, a number of specialized subdisciplines: e.g., taxonomy, anatomy (or morphology), behavioral science (ethology), ecology, and physiology.

What are the applications of biotechnology to fisheries?

Biotechnology allows scientists to identify and combine traits in fish and shellfish to increase productivity and improve quality. Scientists are investigating genes that will increase production of natural fish growth factors as well as the natural defense compounds marine organisms use to fight microbial infections.

What is the latest fishing technology?

New data processing technologies in fisheries include: big data, block chain, smart weighing at sea, Radio-frequency identification (RFID), smartphones for monitoring, artificial intelligence, drones, and on-board cameras.

How technology can help the fishing industry?

Mapping tools and software would allow for the monitoring of invasive predator species, depletion of fish stocks and countless other trends so fishers, policymakers and consumers can all make better decisions around sustainable practices. These are just a few ways technology could be a tool for sustainable fishing.

Is fisheries a good course?
