Overview

Fishing technology refers to the tools, gear, vessels, and techniques used to locate, catch, and handle fish and other aquatic resources. It encompasses the design and use of equipment such as nets, lines, traps, and hooks, as well as the boats and onboard systems that support fishing operations, and the electronic and navigational aids used to find and track fish. The field also extends to methods for handling, preserving, and processing the catch to maintain quality. A central aim of modern fishing technology is to improve efficiency and selectivity, allowing target species to be caught while reducing unwanted bycatch and limiting damage to habitats and non-target organisms. In this way, advances in fishing technology are closely tied to sustainable fisheries management and marine conservation, since the gear and methods used directly influence the pressure placed on fish stocks and ecosystems. Responsible design of fishing gear and practices can help balance the needs of fisheries with the long-term health of marine populations and environments. Research relevant to this topic intersects with broader work on fisheries management and the effects of human activity, including underwater noise, on fish and invertebrates. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research in the International Marine Science Journal relevant to fishing technology, fisheries, and the sustainable use of marine resources.
