Abstract:

According to the FAO, aquatic resources that have merit for exploration, exploitation, and extension for commercial purposes would be referred to as “fish.” Fish provide an important source of food and livelihoods for millions of people, and they are a renewable resource that can be managed sustainably if managed properly. Aquatic resource exploration, capture, catching, cleaning (post-harvest technique), transit, merchandise, processing for semi-prepared food or prepared food, scientific culture (propagation, grow-out operation, seasonal capture), etc., are all examples of lacustrine fisheries. Lacustrine fisheries are capable of providing a source of sustainable economic growth, employment and income opportunities, food security, and improved nutrition. Furthermore, well-managed fisheries can be an integral part of conservation and ecosystem management efforts, providing sustainable access to aquatic resources that are essential to maintaining healthy ecosystems. In addition to providing a source of food and livelihoods for millions of people, lacustrine fisheries also have the potential to help mitigate poverty and increase access to healthy foods. To ensure the long-term sustainability of fish populations, fisheries must be carefully managed, including implementing rules and regulations governing the amount that can be harvested, setting quotas for different species, and enforcing them. In this chapter, we will look at how the lacustrine fishery achieved some long-term development goals, either directly or indirectly.
