Abstract
Fisheries hydrography relies upon the basic sciences – physics, chemistry and pure biology – as well as composite sciences such as ecology and marine geology. Fisheries hydrography is the study and application of oceanography, maritime meteorology and aquatic ecology to those practical problems in fisheries which are related to the productivity of the oceans or to the fishery resources, to the behaviour (aggregation, dispersion, migration, etc.) of various specimens belonging to the marine biomass, to the availability of fish and other fishable marine animals to the fisheries, and to the effects of oceanographic and meteorological conditions on the conduct of fishery.
