This book has been written with the aim of providing the reader an insiders view into the world of fisheries within the context of marine ecosystems. This form of fisheries is the most conventional one as opposed to new forms such as aquaculture, and despite the various advantages of these newer systems, marine fisheries remain the more widely practices and favoured.

Fisheries in the Marine Ecosystem gives an insight into the work set-up of marine fisheries explaining in lucid detail the various factors that contribute to the growth of fisheries, such as government support, precision of equipment such as travelers and vets, weather conditions marine stocks, ecological balance in the ecosystem, the market forces of demand and supply, etc. It also identifies the core issues and problems plaguing this industry, the most commonly recognised one being that of depleting marine stocks worldwide, and also explores the various remedial and conservational strategies undertaken to address the situations.
