Fisheries resources are an important component of natural resources. It is an important source of high-quality animal protein and food for humans, which provides employment, economic benefits and social welfare for people engaged in fishing activities. It also has played an important role in food safety, economic development, and foreign trade.Fisheries resources economics is an important branch of both applied economics and resource economics. Its research object is fishery resources and its economic problems.
