Fisheries Resource Management

The document discusses several topics related to taxonomy, anatomy, biology, fisheries, physiology, and population dynamics of finfish and shellfish. It addresses principles of taxonomy, classification, and identification of major finfish taxa. It also examines the internal anatomy, body organization, and organ systems of important shellfish and finfish groups. Additionally, it covers biology topics like feeding, age and growth determination, reproduction, and developmental stages of finfish and shellfish.
