  School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences—Facilities
Fishery Sciences is the most recent facility to be constructed, and was occupied in the summer of 1999.
Fishery Sciences is significant in that it has, for the first time in over 3 decades, brought all members of the School together in contiguous facilities, thereby improving collegiality, communication, and interaction ranging from individual to programmatic levels.
Fishery Sciences houses most of the School’s faculty, staff, and graduate students, most of whom moved from the old Fisheries Center located in the southeast campus.

 College of Fishery Sciences - Govind Ballabh Pant University Of Agriculture and Technology
The College of Fishery Sciences established in 1985, at G. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, India is one of the premier institution, especially in the Inland Fisheries Sector, catering to professionally trained manpower, development of fish production technologies, transferring the technologies to fish culturists, entrepreneurs and the industry.
The College is now emphasizing on the development and management of the high altitude fisheries in the vast freshwater resource, which exist in the form of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs in the Central Himalayan region.
Since, the post harvest technology in freshwater fishery is non-existent at present there is great scope for the development of post-harvest sector in collaboration with the corporate.

 Fishery Status Reports 2002-2003 - Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Scientists and managers adopt different criteria from fishery to fishery to classify the status of a fishery or stock and to define ‘optimum’ use of it.
In fisheries that have a bycatch of threatened or endangered species, the introduction of bycatch action plans (required for all Australian Government-managed fisheries) has enhanced protection from the impact of fishing.
For example, Northern Prawn Fishery vessels, which must use turtle-excluder devices and bycatch-reduction devices, have decreased their turtle bycatch from around 5500 per year to 120 per year since 2000, most are released alive.

An overriding impression one might derive from both the recent scientific and public literature is that most of world’s fisheries are unsuccessful from the standpoint of conservation and long-term economic performance.
Although we have learned much from studying the classic fishery disasters, we have at least as much to learn from successful fisheries.

 Fewer fish discarded after individual transferable quotas offered
Other differences between the two systems include full mortality accounting in the British Columbia fishery — meaning any marketable fish that was discarded at sea was deducted from the amount the vessel was allowed to bring to shore — and the presence of observers on every boat.
In the U.S. West Coast fishery, there is no deduction when marketable fish are discarded and in recent seasons monitors were on board 13 to 16 percent of the vessels.
Which animals live once returned to the sea depends on the organism; for instance, species of rockfish all tend to die while lingcod and sablefish are among the fish with better survival rates.
