Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent studies have utilized hydro-acoustic techniques to investigate the distribution and characteristics of fishery resources. Additionally, numerous countries worldwide are conducting various surveys to assess and manage the fishery resources within their national waters. For this Special Issue, we invite submissions that present the latest research on hydro-acoustic techniques, as well as the assessment and management of marine fishery resources. We particularly welcome manuscripts that provide new insights and approaches to species identification using multi-frequency methods, as well as improving the assessment and management of marine fish resources. Key topics include species identification through acoustic methods, estimation of target strength, marine fishery resource management, and marine fishery resource assessment. We hope that this Special Issue will make a significant contribution to the field of marine fishery assessment.
