Introduction to the practice of fishery science

---

The 1984 edition of this book grew out of my conviction that at the heart of
any applied science is a determination to bring to the solution of significant
problems both a mastery of relevant technical information and a sensitivity to
social values. The 1996 edition continues in that direction but gives extra
emphasis to our fishery management failures and the accelerating professional
challenges.

The continuing goal of this revised text is to describe--for the student and
prospective student, among others--the fishery scientist's role in environmental
and resource issues as we approach the twenty-first century. It is an attempt
to set forth the traditional expectations of our profession, and also the obligations
and challenges of helping people who are increasingly concerned about
the use of precious resources in our beleaguered environment. The total production
from our ocean fisheries topped out at 100.3 million metric tons in
1989 and has since been declining despite the expanded investments in gear
and vessels. The continuing augmentation of wild stocks as well as the expanding
markets must be satisfied by increased aquacultural production. For this
reason, a new chapter on aquacultural sciences has been added.

The practicing fishery scientist's horizons have been extended beyond biological
research, fishery management, or teaching, valuable as these activities
are. An accelerating professional challenge is to work toward the solution of
complex environmental problems with businesses, government agencies, and
the many groups of people, because much of what we do to our atmosphere
and to our land has an impact on our waters. Because these issues require the
application of the latest evidence, the references cited have been updated.
A pervasive problem is allocation of scarce fishery resources. It requires
scientific information about the fish stocks or the fish farming practices, but is
environmental in scope and is touched at every point by the need for policy
decisions at state, national, and international levels. Fishery scientists must
define problems in terms of the biological, social, and economic alternatives
that will shape the decisions to be made. This broad view must include appreciation
of human values as well as knowledge of fish biology and population
dynamics.

The profession is rapidly expanding and changing. Earlier work in the field
earned public trust and gained worldwide acceptance in national and international
laws requiring the use of fishery science. Fishery scientists must develop a
strategic vision that includes consideration of the sociopolitical evolution of the
issues, and must work with specialists from many other social and environmental
fields. A characteristic approach is to form a multi-disciplinary team.
